We need to remember that a number of our underperforming players were managed by wildly under performing managers.
Under RZB they could turn into properpremier league players worth their fee.

I always enjoy the late kick offs when I’m in Spain.
I think I should have been Spanish.

Getting to Wembley for 8pm used to be a real struggle, would never have made 7pm kick offs there.

Actually have no idea what time we got home Monday. Got kicked out of the elbow room at closing time and had an easy journey by that time.

My son has also perfected the ADHDers last minute journey “planning”.
Reached Tottenham Hale just after 730pm. Got to our seats about 20seconds before kick off.

I generally struggle with the late nights rather than early arrivals. The main issue is always public transport for all fans. I lost over 40 minutes on Monday due to poor late connections.
Fans have the cheek to criticise those of us that leave a few minutes early, but don't understand the knock on effect it has if we don't.
 
On the assumption Maddison will come on earlier, say around the hour mark, we need another forward fresh coming on at the same time for him to link up with. If Solanke is fit enough ok or if he trusts Melia but otherwise 1 of the front 3 must be held back.

Yes I agree but I would make West Ham very slight favourites but as you said not an easy team to beat. I don't think West Ham beat Newcastle either. Then again i don't think we beat Chelsea or Everton.
Just maybe , we have enough points in the bag to stay up already. I'm starting to think the Chelsea game represents more chance of us getting points than the Everton game.e ven though our record is appalling there.
Neither are nice fixtures though.
Both teams have difficult games and we do have the points in the bank already.

This is about the best time to play them. 3 days after a cup final with poor form and a temp manager. They have a spell over us like we do with City but need to forget that going into this game.

Hopefully the final goes for 120 mins and they get run ragged. They can be up for the game against us all they want but if their bodies are done from the cup final you can’t beat physics.

I dunno, I feel like we've seen a number of "tired" teams over the years turn up and beat physics when playing us...

Plus, it's their FANS who are up for it way more... We're just 'another club' to most of their players.... They only really care about Utd, City, Liverpool and Woolwich... We're just a small club, remember?

The only player with 'Chelsea connections' who truly gets it, is Conor Gallagher thankfully!!!
And he probably hates them more than WE do!!

The 8 days rest for us and the cup final for them is pretty much perfect timing. We can do this.
