West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[Come On You Irons]

If we do get relegated this season it will be our sixth relegation from the top flight since World War Two.

Chelsea has been relegated from the top flight four times since World War Two, while Tottenham has only been relegated once and Arsenal hasn't been relegated at all.

We really are a joke compared to those three clubs. Held back by successive incompetent, unambitious and useless owners.

[zebthecat]

We're not quite done yet.
Lose to Forest and we definitely are.
We are rapidly catching up Wolves in negative goal difference.
The only hope is if Forest completely fall to bits for the rest of the season, I cannot see any of the other teams being remotely in touch.

[Massive Attack]

Points needed to stay up is dropping like a stone because none of the teams down there can buy a win, except Wolves against us.

We just wasted a great opportunity to get someone else in before Fulham after the Man City defeat and had 3 very winnable games against Fulham and Brighton at Home and also against 1 of the worst Teams in Prem history without a win until today. Opportunity chucked in the bin for thinking this tit would actually somehow miraculously turn it all around that resulted in just 1 measily point. 3 winnable games now gone and I wouldn't put it past these divs blindly keeping him in charge of a disaster fixture next against Forest his former Club that dumped him on us.

[nychammer]

i think we just need to approach every game like we cant be arsed now and get it over with. 

Please no hope or rally in form. At this stage hope would be worse than just accepting our fate and having it confirmed sooner than later so we can plan for the Championship. 

The one consolation will be seeing that puerile cսnt sullivan getting what he deserves and laughing at the 10K that will show up and rattle around n that next level bowl we play in 

[muskie]

We are dead and buried.

Nuno truly is a clueless cսnt.

[Mad Dog]

Put this on the match thread, but its probably more appropriate here

What annoys me about all this is these cunts still get paid whether they bother or not.   And not just paid they get paid per week double what a lot of fans make in a fucking year. And thats every fucking week. And if we go down, they'll just get a transfer elsewhere and keep makig a fortune.   WE will be the ones left watching the club crumble in a half empty stadium in the championship as were in this for the long haul.  I fucking hate professional footballers 

[Westham67]

I reckon there's a good chance that cheapskate Sullivan will not back Nuno with transfers and that Nuno will throw his toys out of the pram and fuck off.

He aint gonna walk, why would he when he can pocket millions by being sacked, which I don;t think he will be as that would make the board look really stupid after LOSER LOP and COCK PISS.

If I were the board then as soon as relegation is almost certain I would be approaching CARRICK as I think that could work in the Championship with more youth players.

Surely there must be a clause written in to crack heads contract about relegation? If not thats stupidity on the boards part.

This must be the culmination of all the intrigues of the CARRICK DeAL

I go to football to enjoy myself. I'm struggling to remember the last time I enjoyed a game. That could all change if we win the next two relegation battle matches, knock out QPR, maybe starting a cup run and then take 3 points from north London.

Is that asking too much?
 

Yes .... next question

We all know what's going to happen at Wolves, dont we?

Indeed we do.

[Fauxstralian]

I see Josh Cullen has suffered an ACL injury so is done for the season
As are Burnley as a result you’d think
Of course we need to catch a team or two above Wolves & Burnley anyway

[Sweep]

We cannot defend effectively and this has been the case since the last two seasons of Moyes’ stewardship through to Nuno.

Beats me why none of our last four managers have been able to address the defending issue.

Coincides with the 5 sub rule. 

Perhaps we have never adapted?

We have especially signed midfield players who are slow as a barge but relied on stamina to see them through over 90. Game's changed. 

Then we have VAR making some older defensive techniques less successful.

[El Scorchio]

Alvarez can fucking do one. His stomach for a fight went out of his quivering arsehole when he threw a wobbler and downed tools and stamped his feet and demanded to leave. He’s no different to Fullkrug or Aguerd. I don’t want me first crybaby cunts with no appetite for a fight at the club. Players who are good but with attitudes like that make me sick and are a big reason we are in the shit we are. 

Actually I’ll add Kudus to that as well. 

[Mex Martillo]

IF we stay up and get Alverez back. Having the captain of Mexico around our younger players would not do them any harm. We had the oldest squad in the Premier League when he was last with us 

Yes, we are crying out for leaders to stand up and get us out of this. The older first team players, Bowen, Paqueta, Kilman, Walker Peters are just not captains, no leadership.

[El Scorchio]

Buying shit defenders doesn’t help. We haven’t bought a proper, good centre back for a long time. A few decent ones but not really good ones. 

Todibo is threatening to come good but he’s paired with a Fuckjng clown in Mav or Kilman every game.

[Sir Alf]

Realistically unless we experience a “miracle” with Sullivan spending big and early on quality loans and fees that get accepted and none of this haggling, derisory bids, offering 5 year payback terms, insisting on low agent fees or using his agents, we are screwed.

So come on lets face it we are screwed. I suppose the only other miracle would be 30 year old Traore having his best 6 months ever in football because thats the only bloke I can see us getting anytime soon

[Tomshardware]

We are toast.

[Mex Martillo]

Well, we got a point and Forest got nothing. Gap down from 5 to 4 points. Also increased gap to Burnley by 1 point and maintained gap with Wolves. If we keep going like that we do not go down.On
Mind the gap.

[Sweep]

The last ten years or so shows that at least two of the bottom three at this stage go down every year.

Something like even money that all three will - roughly 50/50 chance one team will get out.
