West Ham Online

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

Fook me. Alf is a miserable git. And just repeats everything!

Hardly news that you think we'll go down, is it?

If we dont strengthen our defence / our ability to defend we go down imo.

Sullivan has all but confirmed we wont be strengthening the CB area and that no players wantvto come to West Ham which really means he has no intention of spending any money this window. The sale of Paqueta and Guilherme has paid for Taty and Pablo. We’ve yet again, materially reduced the wage bill. Sullivan is in full cost cutting mode the only thing he knows how to do.

We get relegated as a result imo

Yes he does. It's a shame they are replacing a malcontent with someone who wants to be there and probably has a point to prove. However it's likely a downgrade and Strand Larsen could have just been a one season wonder. Cue 10 goals during the remainder of the season now

I just don't see Palace going down and would rather concentrate on Forest remaining on what they have, especially when we have Chelsea away next. Forest pull away with a win then we will be in even more trouble.

Forest are also on a nice unbeaten run themselves in their last 3 and need that momentum coming to a sudden stop for a bit.

Leeds and Forest are our realistic chances of getting out of this, not the likes of Palace hardly getting many more points with the 28 they already have.

We remain the third most likely team to go down.

How costly might that home defeat to Forest turn out to be?

Well Billy, there’s me getting worried !

nothing to see here. 

I've never thought we would go down at any stage. I only half-jokingly said at New Year when we reached 14 points, that '10 wins and we'll stay up'. People laughed, but we've had two before the end of January. There's always an assumption when a team is doing well or badly that it will continue because, well, why shouldn't it? But it rarely works out that way. At the bottom, the bigger teams suddenly find a second wind, while at the top those overachieving fall away. I wouldn't put my non-existent mortagage on it, of course, but I've seen us do this so many times before that I think we're actually really good at avoiding relegation.

Loaning JWP to another club fighting relegation is Sullivan's MO. He would not spend 1p to make a pound.

We are cut adrift by five points, between 18th and 12th, five points

The business done in this window will be decisive. Add a cup, run it's going to be a nail-biting four months

That run of Wolves, Palace, Everton then Brentford could be what defines the season.

Forrest is trying to buy Wolves keeper Sa

Wots rong wiv mi spelleng? 

As the site misery and curmudgeon, I see it as my duty to spread hopelessness and despair relating to West Ham. Im saving many from themselves especially those addicted to hope.

Im delighted when proved wrong ( last 2 weeks ) but really think the xmas period sealed our fate. The transfer window these last 3 weeks seems to equate to a “fat lady getting ready to sing”.

I predicted we'd beat Sunderland btw, before being accused of going all Sir Alf.

 

 

Victor, the Forrest  Keeper, is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury

I had us for Spurs and Sunderland wins, and by nothing other than a lucky guess, I got the Sunderland score right

Our last six-game form is the same as Chelsea's. The omens are all there for a West Ham win
