West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[Ron Eff]

I wouldn’t worry, Spurs will bring the poisonous egos back in at centre half as soon as they can and be back to where they were. 

I’m not really sure them getting a point is a sign of anything. Certainly doesn’t change the dynamic for us, and it does also mean they keep the coach and don’t get a genuinely qualified firefighter in. 

[Leonard Hatred]

Spurs will be safe.

Nobody REALLY believed they'd gan doon, innit.

It's between us and Forest.

[Sydney_Iron]

 

Leeds have wolves , Burnley and Brentford at home  in next 4 matches. They will be safe before we get to play them I reckon.

Leeds have not won a PL game for quite a while, been slowly sinking back down, got a point with 10 men but was more Palace being shit than Leeds battled IMO

As we have seen, no game is easy this season even bottom dwellers Wolves have been better the past month, those games won’t be easy for Leeds and won’t surprise me to see them draw or lose and fall further.

fingers crossed

[happygilmore]

It's simple. We have 8 games to get 11 points. Do that and we should be ok

Sounds simple.

Forest do the same and they probably stay ahead of us on GD.

10 from 8 will do for Spurs

8 from 8 will do Leeds....count them as safe.

Chasing is not the position to be in.

Like I said earlier, 3 pts from wolves is a must. A defeat to an out of form Villa would hurt

We have to get 1 more point than Leeds over the next 7 matches, do that and it’s us v them last match and a win sees us finish higher

No change from before the weekend would imagine Forest will be the most disappointed, a draw against a side out of form and they also failed to score again

Think Forest play Spurs next?  Massive game for both, a spiteful game with red cards and season ending injuries to key players will do me

Leeds aint out of this either, got a point at Palace but look very suspect all over the pitch, that fighting spirit looks on the nose as well?

For suggesting that spurs might have turned a corner after getting a point at Anfield after a wretched run of form? Not that odd is it?  Everyone expected for them to go there and lose badly.

 

 

I feel the point they got had a lot more to do with Liverpool than with spurs. They’ve been pretty poor of late. They weren’t even that good when they played us, just that more or less every shot they took ended up in the back of our net via some sort of lucky deflection and the score really really flattered them. They had almost as many shots, far more possession, way more passes than they did against us. Six shots on target and five went in. Ridiculous.

What’s odd about it? I imagine my age is above the average on this forum

I doubt it... My first relegation season was '78 as was probably a lot on here

 

 

Same here.
I remember my Dad was driving me somewhere and had sports report on the car radio. Jimmy Armfield piped up with "West Ham are a bad team and deserve to go down".
It hurt but he wasn't wrong.

Mine to. I can’t imagine anyone on here saw the time previous to that.

Haha, I bet I’ve been through all this shit with west ham far more than most of you lot. According to this forum, no one (other than us) is allowed to change their form. 

Why do you think you've been through it more than others, odd thing to assume? 

[twoleftfeet]

They’ve taken 1 point, turned a corner? Deluded. 

[Mex Martillo]

Take it a weekend at a time. Another ok to good weekend. We played 2 in the league and kept it level with Forest, Spurs and Leeds! Well done! On to the next weekend.

[Vexed]

Smartypants sounds a bit Spursy

Turned a corner? Really? Odd thing to say 

 

 

That ain't what was said though. Seems entirely possible that Spurs get a bit better than they have been lately, this massive backlash has almost shamed them into putting in some effort. Some players to come back in and a kinder (on paper at least) fixture list than Forest or us. Tudor probably keeps his job a bit longer after that, so that's a bonus for everyone else.

[twoleftfeet]

Everyone thought it was going to be double figures at Anfield today and it wasn’t. I’m hoping for another defensive display like last night from us, but no one knows what Villa team will turn up. Unfortunately, I do think spurs will turn a bit of a corner. 

Are you Ferrets mate?

[Fauxstralian]

Villa’s last 5 home league games have been a win against Brighton a draw with Leeds & defeats by Brentford Everton & Chelsea
Have gone off the boil & have a midweek European game 
We are going to need some unexpected wins and have to have a go
Id take a point of course 

[goose]

Point at Villa would be another great result. Forest & Spurs can’t both win.
One of them gets a bad result or they draw and it’s ’as you were’. Two draws from arguably the toughest games in our run in isn’t bad at all.

Forest are probably most nervous after this weekend.

3 more wins will do it I reckon. 

[Tomshardware]

I can see spurs comfortably beating forest next weekend, as well as us loosing and it being back to a 2 horse race.  Villa are in a terrible run and I fear we will be on the receiving end. Hope I’m very wrong. 

The team that hasn't won for 12 games you see winning easily.. The team who have lost 1 in 9 you see losing to the team that is in terrible form.. 

 

 

His point is that runs and form can change, just as a team can go on a good run a team can end a bad run.  Spurs result today could be the catalyst for them to start winning some games.   While their dire form has been amusing I've always thought that they have the players there to get out of it.   

Not seen any of Villas recent games but seems that they are not in great form but have some key players returning to their team.   I do think we can go there and get something but we saw with the Liverpool thrashing that on any given day you can end up on the wrong end of a result through luck, decisions, off day etc.

[Mad Ferret]

Really unlikely we get anything at Villa.

Let’s be real here.
