If there was a conspiracy to take this and the PL winner to the last day then a West Ham win and Tottenham Draw is 11\1
Add in Gooners to draw and City to Win and you got yourself 223\1 - Worth a Cheeky £10 bet that! :levyeyes:

We just had to beat Leeds at home . That was literally the whole season in one game and we shat our pants . These players just don’t have the bollocks to get over the line and want to rely on other teams to keep us up . That’s the hard truth .

The players now have a mental block at home which makes it vety hard to get over the line. That's not rocket science in its statement.

Within all this what we must not forget is that despite an injury ravaged season by contrast to West Ham who have been as lucky as we the opposite we are 2 points ahead of them right now.

We will all need to deal with the next9 days in whatever manner we can,and await the outcome.

Nothing is done or dusted, and the likelihood is that this goes to the final day, although results could bring that forward to Tuesday.

The baton of pressure has passed to West Ham for Sunday.
 
I could cope better with going down if it wasn't between us and them. Romford is just going to be parades and street parties if they survive. Add that lot winning the league and maybe CL, nightmare of a season.

This is the key game, far more than us vs. Chelsea which even at the best of times is usually a loss for us.

If West Ham win against Newcastle, I think we are relegation favourites.

I tend to agree.

I think they draw at best. If they were at home I think they would possibly win the game.

If Newcastle finish with 11 men I genuinely think they will win. My silent concern is they don't.

The biggest issue is whether one of their attackers turn up on the day.

Woltemade, despite a strong start hasn't kicked-on, Wissa has been disappointing. Osula looks decent and keen. Gordon is expected to leave, so Howe has been reluctant to play him.

The big thing is Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton playing that is a very robust and talented midfield. They are all back now.

I think the only thing we have at this stage, and when we are down to 2 games, and next to no wiggle room, is hope, but based on best options and motivation.

Newcastle are near to full strength, at home and it's their last home game of the season, but also with little to play for. Plusses and minuses, but much like Liverpool for example. Not been great but would you want to be their last home opponent? I wouldn't.

As Spurs fans we will see it in various ways, West Ham fans, across a spectrum will see it in negative/positive terms equally as much.

So......

Okay, and understandable but you think a winless West Ham (last 2 games) will beat the Geordies, who haven't lost their last 2.

You are fearing it or you see evidence to suggest it's likely?

Look mate, we all know it's going to be one of three outcomes.

I just think likelihood is not that West Ham win. Fearing it I understand.
 
It doesn't matter what West Ham do, they can win 100-0 against Newcastle and 100-0 against Leeds and still go down, 2 more wins for us and we are safe no matter what and I hope this is what RDZ is hammering into the players as I don't want to see us get nervous if West ham win, its still in our own hands and West ham would love to be in our position!!!!

You are right but the likelihood of us winning both of our last games is low, so I would suggest the opposite.

We are pretty dependent on West Ham losing one of their 2 remaining games, in the same way West Ham will believe that if they win their final 2 games they will be safe.
