The relegation battle - get out of my league!

TheMadcapLaughs

"Banjax" ;ok

I like that word.

There are a few out there who are pretty confident of us staying up. I’m curious to find out why. Is it

a ) because they think we will pick up more points still

b ) because we won’t pick up any points but 3 points won’t manage to catch us?

Me personally barracks think we will I genuinely believe we will get a win against united but I also believe that 35 will be enough think Huddersfield will go and only one out of Southampton and Stoke will make it

c) bit of both. I think we will get at least 1 point from our remaining games and I also believe that the teams below us have been poorer than us for this much of the season and I don't expect that to change in the next 3 games.

We need at least 1 point AND to match what Huddersfield do.

We can’t do both cus Huddersfield won’t get another point imo

In recent weeks I have got the impression that a prerequisit for being a Hammers supporter is to be not just a 'glass half empty' but a 'glass as good as empty' type of person.

Is it really that important what league we play in? It seems to me that some people on here want change for change's sake. Just spend 100 million and everything will be alright. No need for the Daved to haggle, just pay any price. (If you think they should just agree to pay any price the selling club wants, I have an 8-year old Kia in my garage that I would like to sell for £5000. ;wink )

Moyes has inherited a squad and his only possibility of fixing things were in January and we all know what happens to prices in that window. Then Masuaku got himself sent off and we signed Evra. Unlike what I have read on here in recent weeks that signing wasn't one we wanted but one we needed to cover for 6!!! games when Arthur was banned.

I am confident we will be in the prem next season and if we are it will be because we were better than at least three clubs below us. We went down with 42 points once and I certainly don't believe anyone up to 42 or 43 points was lucky enough not to go down because x clubs were worse than them.

Keep the faith and support the club. And if you really do feel the need for a whine - have it with cheese.

It is important what league we play in since we sold out the Boleyn to achieve "supposed" glory. There is no justification for the move to date other than a few extra gate receipts (at a vastly disadvantaged viewing distance.)

Otherwise why did we move at all !?!??!

I think we will pick up points. I think with our remaining games, we have a decent chance if we perform. We have lost our last 2 games and think it will be unlikely to loose our remaining 3 to make it loosing streak of 5. I know, it is West Ham and very possible, but I have faith, i think!! I just hope we are up for it against Leicester, if we are, I think we have a good chance to win.

That's what worries me Hammerlegend, IF we perform, and I havn't seen that
for some time now.

Just over a month ago we beat Southampton 3-0, a week later we drew at Chelsea, Stoke was always going to be tough (ask Liverpool) and Arsenal didn't deserve their 4-1 win.

WE ARE STAYING UP, I SAID WE ARE STAYING UP!

How are those beers working out Grey... ;wink

Incredible to believe that in the space of six hours we have gone from being well in the thick of it to not only “more or less” safe but OFFICIALLY safe. What a sequence of results, led by our own

Vorselaarhammer

BFS still loves us.... apparently Sparky was apoplectic with the injury time...

Shame, I hate to him upset...

Giant_Hammer

Vorse, yes I watched him at the final whistle and thought his head was going to explode off his shoulders.............shame.......... smirk. ;whistle

Southampton v Manchester City next Sunday could still relegate them if even they win at Swansea as they are at home to Stoke?

grey_til_I_dye

Bbbrress?? What bbbrress?

buffybegood

Definitely would prefer Soton to go down rather than Swansea or Huddersfield.

secrethammersfan

I feel for Darren Moore -unbeaten as a manager, with wins against Man Utd. and Tottenham, and his team was relegated.

Not yet they aren't.

secrethammersfan

Sure. Sure they aren't.

alderz

I mean, they aren’t though. They probably will be, but they aren’t yet.

Well if Saints draw on Tuesday and both Saints and Swansea lose their final game, WBA can survive with a win and 4 goal swing (minimum) with Saints. Given saints play City, far from impossible.

But unlikely.

MrsGrey

Only a draw between Saints + Swansea will do for WBA. If either team wins that game, WBA are down.

MrsGrey

Deciding day in the Championship today, with 5 teams in the mix. Sunderland are gone, so perm 2 of these 5: Reading, Birmingham City, Barnsley, Burton and Bolton.
