West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[Massive Attack]

Maybe he meant for their usual high standards? I don't see it that way although they did drop 4 crucial points back to back against Teams they really shouldn't at this stage of the season if they want to win the League, especially to 1 of the worst Premier League Teams at the bottom. I like to call it the Arteta Effect.

Statistics can be misleading.

Here's a stat. They have lost 3 competitive games since August. They have stumbled recently but are 5 points clear at the top of the league,a hiccup doesn't signify 'very poor form'.

If we fall 5 behind at the weekend we'll see who has bollocks for sure. 

Not really sure what that means, I don't think it's a lack of bollocks that is stopping us from turning draws into wins. The reality is we just ain't good enough to do it against some sides.

I don't think both results will go against us, hope not anyway.

I just meant if we'll crumble or have the bollocks to not let it get us down after clawing away closer then being 5 behind again.. 

Well that would be down to the management and captain etc to make sure it doesn't happen, but I doubt it will with 10 games left still. I think Forest have Man City after Brighton.

[fraser]

Not sure about a long way to go, but when it's put like that it feels very possible. If Brighton can beat Forest next week they could be in freefall (if they're not already) but if they win and we lose to Liverpool then it's a 5 point gap with 10 games left.

Too late now, but even a point against Forest in December would have been OK.

.. 11 games is still a long way to go and we just have to win one more game than Forest do..

Fuck me Spurs are shit. I watched their game today and they were pony. Clueless at the back.

Fuck I hope they go down.

[fraser]

We've made up ground on all of the bottom teams over the last 6 games, if we can carry on the same over the next 11 we will stay up. 

Spurs have won once in their last eleven Forest twice I think.. So both in awful form. 

It's really easy to be negative isn't it and we're all guilty of it. But nobody expects us to get anything out of Arsenal and Liverpool.. But.. We were all expecting both of them to fuck up against teams who are down there with us but on form less likely to get anything. I bet their fans are saying the same... 11 games is still a long way to go and we just have to win one more game than Forest do.. 


It's the hope that kills, apologies if this has renewed anyone's. 

[Sydney_Iron]

Its really between us and Forest for that last drop spot i feel, Spurs have too much quality in that squad to go down, they may go close but looking at the remaining fixtures i think they have the easiest run in, if such a thing exists in the PL Would be extatically happy to be proven wrong however 

Forest like us keep fucking up though, they battered Wolves and only got a point and the better side against Liverpool and lost to a last gasp goal, sound familiar?

We are at Liverpool next so hopefully they don't improve from their performance at Forest, they are at home but look well suspect at the back, we just need a little luck and to have real go at them rather than give them too much respect and it could well be one of those famous away days against the odds.

Where is this 'very poor form' that you say Arsenal find themselves in? They have lost twice in all competitions since November and are still in every competition that they entered. 

Fuck me,I wish West Ham could hit such a slump!

 

 

 

 

Arsenal had won 2 of their last 7 league games until today. 
Thats poor form for any side aiming for the title. They just beat the side 2nd from bottom in the form league and previously drew against wolves who only have 10 points. So no they are not in good form statistically.

[Gary Strodders shank]

Sunderland although on 36 points and needing only a few more for certain safety are a team that look like they have well and truly shot their bolt.

All the early form has dissipated and they look like they will merely stumble over the line due to a not too difficult run in on paper.

They do face spurs Forest and Leeds however and could shape how things will unfold at the bottom

However if they were to fail to win any of those It could put them bang in the mix before they face Wolves as I can't see them picking up a win elsewhere.

A long shot but there will be many a twist and turn before the fat lady sings I'm sure.

We have crept closer to Forest and Spurs and Arsenal did us a huge favour today.
There is still hope.

ENIC IN!

[Tomshardware]

Had a look on a spurs forum and theres plenty of their fans starting to worry.  Lot of them saying they can't see any fighters in their side and they aren't winning at home, a massive injury list and Romero is missing the next 2 games as well.  

[threesixty]

Just listening to pardew on talk sport and he thinks spurs’ GD is the indicator that the side won’t go down compared to Forest and us. 

I don’t want to tempt fate etc but just looking objectively in terms of form, spurs just got beaten 4-1 in a derby against arsenal who are themselves in very poor form in the league. Spurs injury list is massive and they have not won a game in 2026. 

Basically they’re going to face a lot tougher teams than Arsenal based on form whereas Forest and us have better form (we are top 4 over the last 5 or so games). The trajectory looks more like spurs getting dragged under wheels than anything else. 

so statistically speaking spurs are in extremely serious trouble. 
Forget reputation, just straight up numbers show the story. 
if they get their best players back from injury then maybe that changes, but right now looks dire. 

 

[Massive Attack]

A Team that still struggles to win in 2026 as they enter March with an injury list longer than your average A & E waiting room playing at their own toxic Stadium under a new Manager fresh to the Premier League on a temporary contract should be very, very nervous. Even so called easier games will feel like hard work so their fixture list won't help them out too much under that kind of pressure.  Getting thumped at Home against your bitter rivals not seen since the 70s will only add to it. The longer they go without a win, the harder it'll be. 

Fulham Away next, a Team that played well winning this weekend, then a 3rd London Derby in a row straight after that against Palace.

[Sydney_Iron]

Forest unlucky not to get at least a point, The Scouse and in particular Allison did us a favour by nicking that game! Let's hope Liverpool are just as shit next week and we can take advantage...........won't be holding my breath on that one!

and Spurs?? Bwahahahahahahaha but still dont think they go down, we have to overhaul them, and they have an easier run in, its a nice thought, but getting and staying above Forest is the more rational hope.

[Sir Alf]

Areenal did their bit .   Effort and running levels up from the Spuds as a result of a new manager. They matched L’Arse first half in that sense but they created nothing. Arsenal were quick out yhe blocks 2nd half and once getting their second they dominated. Spurs effort was reminiscent of 10 headless chickens.  Thought Bissouma was their best player but their defence looks brittle.

 

[Beef&Tomato]

Spurs are in deep shit. 

[Massive Attack]

Spurs only prem side not to win a game in 2026.  

The spirit of Bobby Moore continues to haunt them.

[Maverick180180]

Unfortunately as shit as they currently are I can’t see us catching them simply because their run in is an absolute piece of piss compared to ours
