West Ham Online

ARSENAL vs EVERTON (1500)
One battling for top spot, although that seems increasingly remote, and the other is battling to stay in the Premier League. Only one possible outcome, right? Right. Home win.

LIVERPOOL vs FULHAM (1500)
After a spectacular opening few weeks of the season, the river has risen to claim Fulham’s chances of achieving much – or indeed anything – of note this year. Now they have the league leaders to contend with. Life’s not fair. Home win.

NEWCASTLE UNITED vs LEICESTER CITY (1500)
The outlook for the Foxes under Ruud van Nistelrooy is looking slightly more rosy. Newcastle meanwhile are struggling, with both now in the bottom half of the table. Although the hosts must go in as favourites, it will be interesting to see how this tricky encounter pans out. Home win.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs IPSWICH TOWN (1500)
A huge six-pointer. Gary O’Neil has received the public support of the club’s hierarchy. You have to feel sorry for him after his relative success last season and before that at Bournemouth. It’s hard to think that he will end this season as the Molineux boss. Draw.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs ASTON VILLA (1730)
This could be a right old corker. Both sides are on 25 points and sit in fifth and sixth places respectively. There’s the sense that Villa are the stronger, but Forest have home advantage, which has often come to their aid in recent seasons. Will it do so again today? Draw.


SUNDAY

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1400)
The A23 derby sees Palace languishing too close for comfort near the foot of the table while Brighton could end the day in the top four if things go their way. A good fight beckons. Home win.

MANCHESTER CITY vs MANCHESTER UNITED (1630)
How things change. The day’s second derby sees the hosts in fourth but also in trouble, while their not-so-quiet neighbours are mounting a comeback of sorts. This intriguing encounter is not as straightforward as it might have been some weeks ago. Draw.

CHELSEA vs BRENTFORD (1900)
A hattrick of local derbies sees second-placed Chelsea looking to cement their exceptional recent progress and put the heat up Liverpool’s backsides. Brentford won’t offer much opposition. Home win.

SOUTHAMPTON vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (1900)
Poor old Southampton are really deep in the brown stuff. Mind you, Spurs aren’t far from there either. Still, the visitors are likely to offer way stronger opposition than the Saints can cope with. Time for the hosts to start planning for life back in the Championship? Away win.


MONDAY

BOURNEMOUTH vs WEST HAM UNITED (2000)
Few people of the claret and blue persuasion will anticipate this with undiluted optimism. We’re stuck uncomfortably close to the danger end of the table and with a manager at risk of spending new year at home. The Cherries are within a win of the top four and have a strong home record. A point will be an achievement. Draw.

ARS vs EVE
LIV vs FUL
NEW vs LEI
WOL vs IPS
NFO vs AST

BHA vs CRY
MCY vs MNU
CHE vs BRE
SOU vs TOT

BOU vs WHU


CHAMPIONSHIP
Struggling Pompey were given a good hiding last night at Derby, leaving a mere two points all that separate the bottom five. Yorkshire dominates the top, with Sheffield Utd and Leeds in first and second places. In the play-off places, Blackburn go into today’s game with Luton on the back of five consecutive wins. Two draws, meanwhile, have seen Burnley slip from top to third as they take on Norwich on Sunday. Middlesboro, just outside the top six, host Millwall in lucky 13th today while Sunderland (4th) make the long trek to Swansea.

Man City now 9 points behind Liverpool who have that game in hand, the title defense is fast slip sliding away from them, be lucky to get Europa Conference at this rate? Surely Pep has to be under pressure for the tin tack.

Their worst own enemies. Shoukd have just had a narrow win so their next home defeat dosent look as bad.

Not pleased that Manchester United won today, but I have always found Manchester City's football incredibly boring to watch. I'm sure it's nice for the fans in the stadium to see their team winning everything over the last few years, but as far as a viewing spectacle goes it's not great (in my opinion!)

Kyle Walker is one of the most frustrating to watch - nearly always checking back and passing sideways or backwards rather than wanging it into the box, which would be much more exciting. Grealish used to be great to watch too, but now he has next to no flair.

0-5 - good grief!

It could be a weekend of management casualties, Martin to join ON & Buckingham.

its a tough old job.

Downes doing well

their fans will be back to sucking off big Ange tonight, until the next fuck up

The best part of today was how open and exciting the game was and both sets of fans were able to get behind their teams. A lot of football in our league is dog shit and the atmospheres sterile. 


 

Southampton doing well.

Think Martin might join O’Neil in the dole queue tomorrow 
3-0 down at home in 14mins

Gilmore happy mancunts

Did you see Walker go down in the first half?
Anyone behaving like that should get an instant 6 game ban,fucking disgraceful.

absolute cracker of a game, with a fantastic atmosphere. 

Same here. I refuse to watch Scottish football whilst those hoop fans have any part of it.

Thank goodness they would never be allowed to poison our league.

Every other club would want them out.

 When VAR looked at that Walker incident to see if there was a headbutt they should send the ref to the screen and recommend a red card for cheating
Embarrassing 

Abysmal game but you have to laugh
