The club can have a trajectory similar to Sunderland, and I wouldn't be surprised. Bad decisions after bad signings, too little too late.
Not prepared for the relegation fight, not prepared for the Championship, with a brutal run of fixtures.
The hope being that the owners become more inclined to sell in the lower divisions.
But I do not seriously want it, it's just a half-baked fiction for a depressing cycle.
 
I can’t believe there are still some spurs fans emphatically declaring we won’t go down, this shit is real, how can anyone have such confidence when our record from this and last season combined reads

P64 W18 D13 L33

31 points at home out of a possible 96 in that period.

Classic relegation material, only this time there’s not 3 awful promoted teams.

That strangely good early season away form might be what ends up saving our arses.
 
We really need to focus our attention on certain games.

Palace, Brighton, Forest & Leeds all at home. Wolves away.
New man at the helm needs to absolutely shake this home form shit and get them defending OUR house.
Fuck Liverpool away. Fuck Chelsea away. Fuck Villa away. No point going hard against any of them and risking more players getting injuries.
We can't afford to lose anymore players trying to win games we probably won't anyway.

Need to be smart here. There's 5 games there we can win. We don't have to win all 5, but they're all winnable at the moment, with a bit of belief and a basic plan to, you know, try to actually fucking win games.
 
All the pressure for now is still on West Ham.

Santo will know their game against an in-form Bournemouth is going to be absolutely crucial for them.

Their next 4 fixtures after Bournemouth are Fulham, Liverpool and Villa away, sandwiched by City at home.

Now anything can happen but those are tough games, and even if they beat Bournemouth, I would like to believe we can create an even bigger gap by the end of those 5 games, and we would have only Chelsea left to play of the so-called big guns.

So, let's hope this interim gets that short-term bounce, even if the next 2 games are less than easy.

Bournemouth absolutely battered them 2-2 earlier this season.
WHU fluked their way into a 0-2 lead.
One of the most one sided games I've ever seen. And I watch Spurs get beat a lot.

Yeah but that was a different West Ham side. Since January they've been playing like a different team. I mean they're 4th in the form league since Jan FFS.

West Ham's players know they're in a fight. Ours seem to be sleep walking into relegation without giving a shit.
 
Posted this on the Tudor thread, but this is a more appropriate place:


Fingers crossed, we'll have these lads back in the coming games:

Porro, Richy -> Fulham (game after Scum)
Udogie -> Liverpool (4 games from now)
Romero -> Forest (game after Liverpool)
Kudus -> Sunderland (game after Forest, but there are Champions League matches in between).

Which means that we'll have most of these players (barring any setbacks, which is almost a certainty with our medical staff) for this final run of fixtures:

Brighton (H)
Wolves (A)
Villa (A)
Leeds (H)
Chelsea (A)
Everton (H)


Suddenly, I'm feeling a bit more optimistic.

Wouldn't be surprised if we have 5 more injuries by the time we get those 5 back. Seems to be an injury a game these days.

Sleepwalking?

Mate.
We have suffered a narcaleptic episode on the edge of a cliff.

Thanks I was just about to have a look at this. Absolutely mad to have 12 players out. Most other PL clubs who have players out only amount to six.

Yeah and I think Moyes last game would love to stick the knife in as well, especially if it helps West Ham.

At the moment it is very difficult to see where a win is coming from - now hopefully, some of that is just a dour perspective because we have been shit for ages. But not beating Burnley or West Ham and in fact only taking 1 point from those games means we cannot be confident against anyone, especially as Wolves are our bogey side.

I think our best chance is securing enough draws and hoping one of Brighton or Forest sink without trace. I’m very confident West Ham stay up at this point.

Said all along , we just had to beat West Ham at home and we were safe and they were virtually down . We gave another disgusting performance and gave them the shot in the arm they needed and we’ve not recovered.

That's the mentality we need to avoid. We need to remember that West Ham are still 5 points behind us and if we match or better their form that's where they'll stay. I see no psychological benefit in conceding defeat to them when there are still 12 matches left to play.

We're the ones with the 5 point lead and they're the ones who have to catch up. Our fate is in our own hands and our Premier League status is ours to lose. West Ham can only stay in the Premier League if we give it to them. We have the power. We have the upper hand.

It's not about what they're doing, it's about what we're going to do. We've got our new man and his track record says that he is capable of getting a run of form together in a short space of time. We need to go into the NLD believing that we can beat anyone. We can beat anyone - we have before and we will again.

As rubbish as we are, I still don’t think we go down. We should be capable of at least a win and a draw from what’s left. For that to matter, West Ham would need to win at least four of their remaining games. Considering they’ve only managed six wins all season, that would take a massive and pretty unlikely swing in form. I just don’t see it.

I'd say, paradoxically, we always seem to turn up more for the 'big' teams, e.g. recent draw with Man City. I'm sure Tudor will have us trying to win all of the games, we're not good enough to pick and choose. Even the best teams have off days.
 
When you look at the home games it is such a shame we are so shit there. A few years we win 80% of these….If I am Tudor I’m trying to get the team to go out there and dominate these. He’s played for juve so will know all about expectations in front of demanding fans. That could be his trump card?
