  • Each to their own Suzanne ;ok
    Personally don't care about other teams downfalls , just what affects West Ham
  • Just like I am well happy 2 see Liverpool get a world class IMO 2nd goal against Southampton...

    I mean, I really don't like Liverpool, but I'm delighted they're beating Southampton.

    And I really don't like Chelsea, but I'll be rooting for them tomorrow night.

    Because both team's results can directly benefit West Ham. And that, ultimately, is the priority for me.
  • Exactly OCS , even tho we as Hammers fans might not "like" these teams, if it makes our own team benefit, it's pretty obvious IMO ...
    Yeh, I'd love us to make it simple winning the next 4 games in a row , but we all know this is West Ham we support ...any help on offer I'll take thanks .! ;ok
  • I like football, I like watching footballl well played.

    I repeat. Newcastle wining has no bearing on our Premiership status. Which is why I enjoyed the result.


    Now, Southampton is a totally different story. I can’t stand their holier than thou (sp?)fans or the administration they selected putting local businesses out of business. Watching them get battered is a treat. ;biggrin
  • I have complete happiness when Leeds get beaten.
  • jay.ocs

    How do you decide how to react and what to enjoy in the early part of the season when no result really has a bearing on our Premiership status? ;hmm
  • I hope the new teams all stay up, Would be glad to see West Brom and Stoke go down.

    Not too bothered who else, Southampton / Swansea / Palace any of those.
  • Mrs Grey I get ur point..
    When we were vying for a top 6 in our first season with Slav it was a strange feeling eventually wanting the " big" teams to lose, but IMO I'm being realistic , until it gets to the crunch it all depends where we are in the league, but where we are now, I'd have much preferd Man U to win...
  • Ah, moral relativism ;biggrin
  • I'd like the teams that I think are most entertaining to watch to stay up, personally. I like it when there are good goals on MOTD.

    So if WBA and Newcastle go that would be good. And maybe Stoke?
  • Newcastle for me but only because their chairman is worse than ours
  • I’d like to see Crystal Palace go down, don’t particularly dislike them......just can’t stand Roy Hodgson.
    The other side I’d like to see go down is WBA, purely because Pardew is manager.
  • Wba ,stoke ,and Newcastle for me .however I reserve the right to change my mind every week until the end of the season ;biggrin

    I go by which team I prefer to win the game.

    After about half way through the season, when our position in the league is taking shape, I tend to start looking at the results of the teams around us and hoping those teams drop points.

    When it gets to the business end of the season, as it is now, I take a real interest in what our rival's results are and how they affect us, and this dictates who I want to win games.

    I really don't think this is anything out of the ordinary.

    I agree,
  • Actually when Rafa decided to stay at Newcastle when the got relegated he went up in terms of my respect for him, which up until then i’d not had, so if they survive i’ll not be unhappy.
  • ocs ;ok A sensible approach.

    But not one I adopt unless I really think we are in the mire. Which I don't, this season. And haven't for some time. ;scarf
  • Haven’t though we were in the mire since Moyes arrived if i’m honest, although I think we’ve had a few mireish performances ;lol
  • As is your prerogative Mrs G ;ok

    I just happen to think we are still in the mire, or certainly could be if the teams around us continue to pick up points.

    I know Southampton lost, but I would have much preferred if Newcastle, Swansea and Huddersfield had too, just to give us a bit more of a points buffer between us and the relegation zone.

    As Lukerz said earlier, we could have to wait until May until we're confirmed as safe; I'd rather not wait til then.
  • I generally prefer our results to do the work, rather than relying on other teams defeats, but if that’s the way it turns out who am I to complain OCS?
  • I want Milwall and Leeds to be relegated.
    From whatever division they are in, every year.

    Blunts
  • I have forgiven the Blunts. ;biggrin ;hug
  • Did someone mention Sheffield United......?
    I’d also add any team Neil Warnock manages......silly little man.
  • We've got nothing to worry about it's not as if we are going to get beaten by the likes of Brighton & Newcastle twice in the same season is it! ;doh
  • Southampton to go down as their selling and hoping policy has now caught up with them, Stoke, because its Stoke and West Brom to go down as its not us:)
  • Early season until we stand to benefit from results around us is very easy for me, whoever Spurs are playing I want to win.

  • I have forgiven the Blunts. ;biggrin ;hug

    Raise eyebrow
    My team West Ham was nearly pushed into abbyss!
