West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[Full Claret Jacket]

For me we have been getting relegated for a while. I know we are playing better and have been better to watch but its papering over the cracks of an awful season and poor decisions including those made by Nuno.

There arent enough games for me and we dont have enough about us to play every game as a cup final and get wins which is what we need now. 

I love a bit of optimism and why not, the team is giving it a go buts let's not get carried away, we are where we are because we stank the league out for most the season. Even Wolves are having a revival performance wise. We need a lot of luck to survive even though it is tight on points.

[fraser]

In the last ten league games we're 7th on form and Villa are 18th just above Forest and Spurs. Villa still also have a lot of injuries and play Thursday. So while it's never going to be easy to win there now is a good time to play them. We also have a decent record there, plenty to give us hope of at least a point. 

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

All metrics and bookies ive seen still have us as the 3rd team going, 


 

 Ye of little faith

Bookies deal in real time ...so yea ... currently we're toast.
Odds have dropped from a few weeks ago though eh

[Manuel]

As much as I'd rather it be Spurs going down I'd also rather they beat Forest if we don't manage to get anything at Villa, I just think Spurs have the easier fixtures to get out of it eventually regardless.

Villa are chasing top 4 - cant think they will be wanting to settle for anything less than a win against us so my hopes remain grounded, although all 3 clubs playing next Sunday also have midweek fixtures so that has to count in our favor.

We just need to string a couple of results together and we're away, however we just seem shackled to that 18th spot regardless of our uptick in form.

Yep agree, a Forest win would be bad news (particularly if we lose at Villa) nobody will convince me otherwise. As you say we can't get out the bottom 3, but if we win at Villa it will change everything, that's a big if though.

Each of the four at risk teams are in trouble if their form doesn't pick up and/ or they don't have the fight in them. Injuries to key players can also play a big part.

Really dificult to call games at this point in the season. I'm starting to think away to Brentford and Palace are equal in degree of difficulty as home to Wolves.


 

No easy game, Wolves maybe going down but in the past month or 2 have grown a pair and got some decent results, they have also beaten us twice already this season so anyone thinking that home game is 3 points in the bag is kidding themselves.

The Spurs/Forest game is massive, and as much as I would love to see Spurs go down, realistically it will be Forest so if Spurs do win that one then I hope they smash them, for no other reason than goal difference, ours is shocking but Forest ain’t so good either, a thrashing would also see more shenanigans at Forest and even another sacking

Yep, still in a world of trouble, although perceived favoritism on Forest is a little baffling considering their poor form and difficult run-in. 

[Nutsin]

Mad Ferret was all giddy going in to work this morning.

[Mex Martillo]

Spurs are going down. It's going to be lovely.

[honky cat]

Brentford, Villa next. Let's hope they all break something, or get sent off after a massive punch up. 

I just can't see spurs going down. It would be the biggest FOMB in the history of the premier league. There would be a rampage in every city, wild celebrations. Surely it won't happen.

[Beef&Tomato]

Forest are averaging less than a goal a game,  they are the prime candidate for that 3rd spot.   

[Fauxstralian]

Anyone trying to project late season form remember our last relegation season
Came from 0-3 at h/t to 3-3 at WBA
Beat Burnley 5-1 in the FA Cup
Beat Liverpool 3-1
Beat Stoke 3-0

Then … lost at Stoke in the FA Cup
Last 9 games we drew 2 & lost 7 to finish last including losing 3-2 at Wigan after being 2-0 up to be relegated 
Our ‘captain ‘ Upson refused to play in our last game at home to Sunderland 
We quickly went 3-0 down so it wasn’t thought possible to give sub Dylan Tombides some Premier League minutes so he died without achieving that 

Lots of work to do and done nothing yet
 

[twoleftfeet]

Earthy? . He can’t even get a game with Bristol City yet some clown predicts he’ll score against Leeds in the final game of the season. So funny. 

[fraser]

I really do like the positivity now on WHO and its shows many feel really do have a chance of staying up 
What happened to the Numo out thread?
Asking for friend 

He's turned it around but at the time it was a discussion worth having even though it was ridiculously ott from some including that he was deliberately trying to sabotage our season to get the sack. 

 

Ah come on mate seriously ???
By the way l think generally you're proper poster 

You think 10 (can't remember exactly how many now) games without a win with some bizarre team selections doesn't question whether he's the right bloke for the job, it would at any club

I think Spurs are still fucked. Liverpool didn't have their shooting boots on and missed a ton of chances. 

It keeps Two Door in a job and I think next week normal service will be resumed. 

[oioi]

Aside from major upsets (I know) every time I look at the remaining games Forest are the team that get relegated.

[Massive Attack]

hopefully the Leeds fans burn down the stadium after being locked in for a couple of hours.

We can but dream!

[Manuel]

I think it will be Leeds who go down now.
Just my gut but , somehow Spurs will get away with it and Forest scramble enough points.
Leeds are eractic now and their home form has peaked. 
It could all be down to our last home game and a win for either team sends the other team down.
Leeds will be wondering how they are at this situation after looking safe.
2-0 Fernandes and Earthy back after his loan spell seeling it in the 95th minute.

Spurs will ''somehow'' get away with it? You either get enough points or you don't, that's it, nothing complicated. Leeds already have 3 points on us and have very winnable home games, think they will be OK. It's us or Forest for me. Anyway, time to let this be for a bit I think

I  still think it’s Spurs or us and on form that looks like Spurs.



 

What on earth have you seen in Forest that makes you believe they’re not part of it.

They appear to have the hardest run-in too.

 

 

I think Forest have a little bit better form than Spurs overall the last 5 and 10 games. So just from a pure maths point of view, spurs are down. We get 37 points!  I suppose it depends on whether the Spurs players coming back can boost their form, but looking at when they weren’t injuries their form wasnt that great either.

Those threads get started as a hedged bet on the manager being poor so an 'I called it first/told you so' can get shouted long and loud. Happens with almost every signing too. Someone will proclaim them shit before a ball has been kicked on the almost 'hope' they will be just so the same thing can be said. It's quite bizarre.
