West Ham always had enough goals in them to survive ; it was a matter of them sorting out their extremely leaky defense.

Arrival of Disasi, a good no nonsense centre back for a team trying to stay up, and players getting immersed in Nuno’s tactics seem to have made a noticeable difference in that department: That’s 3 clean sheets in the last 5 games now.

More importantly Fulham, the same team that could’ve easily scored 3-4 against us a few days ago, barely created anything today.

While it is true that they have no depth and a few injuries to certain players could destroy them, they’re certainly good enough to survive at the moment.
 
Palace (H) - lose  draw
Liverpool (A) - lose
Forest (H) - draw  win
Sunderland (A) - lose  draw
BHA (H) - draw  loss
Wolves (A) - lose  draw
Villa (A) - draw  loss
Leeds (H) - draw  win
Chelsea (A) - lose
Everton (H) - win  draw

I've got us on 7 points ... as optimistic as I can be. Typed "win" at the end, when I think "lose" is more likely!!!
My optimistic take...10 pts...hoping 39pts total on the board will be enuff.

But knowing Spurs have a habit of letting us fans down, I really wouldn't be surprised if we only picked up one more win, 3 draws and 6 defeats...sending us to the Champo.
 
I'm surprised how apathetic the match going fans seem to be about this whole thing tbh. There's no real protests, not even a chant against the board it's baffling. Just some booing at half time and full time.
Which doesn't really feel as if it's aimed at anyone BUT the players....

I think a calm but determined walk around to the West Stand atrium post match and voice our displeasure in front of all the suits, and not leaving until we get some kind of response might have to be one course if action... REGARDLESS of whether we stay up or not...

Everything has been a shambles since the moment Johnson staggered off the podium with the UEFA Cup in his hand, and everyone left the Parade last season pretty much.... It's literally the highlight before falling off a cliff! Shocking, truly shocking.

We failed to take advantage of our ALMOST period between 2016-19 where we couldn't QUITE get a trophy over the line.... But now we have in 2025, THEN what? We STILL fail to build in and capitalise on our relative success, so that the fall off feels even harder!

I fucking hate our owners as much as I fucking hate Woolwich right now...
 
We are going down. Been clear for weeks.

That squad absolutely does not have the bollocks for a relegation fight. Add to that our atrocious form, injuries, dodgy ref calls, media pressure...and other teams picking up big points...perfect storm ain't it.

We're not beating Palace tomorrow.

Tottenham Hotspur will be playing Championship football next season. Let that sink in.
 
The guy has literally been begging to come back to us. Even a media post today that it wouldn’t put him off.

It may as well be etched in stone at this stage.

The board will want to create good will (and above all, renewals) after this disastrous campaign. There is no other option that would offer more potential for that.

Even if we stay up, but particularly if we go down - who will we be able to get that is a better option?
 
But football isn't played on paper. We have no right to be flirting with relegation, yet here we are. That Sunderland team is horrific for the most part, they're fine.
Leeds have a coach who's found out the best way to highlight the best qualities, and mask the deficiencies. Frank was supposed to do that here, but has made them scared of their shadows. It would be much more unlikely for Leeds to go down than us given that we haven't been able to pick up points for the best part of 3 months, whilst they've gained more than everyone else in the relagation conversation.

At this stage, that is wishful thinking. I've said for weeks and weeks, it's us or Palace.
Yeah don't get me wrong - I'm not saying it's likely we come above Leeds. Pretty much any talk about us confidently outperforming the surrounding teams is wishful thinking at this point. Was more just pointing out the relative quality of the squads. And even Sunderland have invested big and have a few clear standout players that a team like Leeds simply don't have - there's no Xhaka equivalent.

Just had a look at Leeds fixtures and they still have to play Burnley and Wolves at home. We'd need them to have a Spurs-esque crisis of confidence and completely shit the bed to not at least get to 37-38 pts I think.
 
They can't all get moves, they'll have to play in the championship too.
You can't shift 22 premier league players in one summer
Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Sarr, Bergval, Kudus, Spence, Solanke, Kulu and Xavi will all go.

Bissouma and Davies out of contract. Muani and Palhinha return to their parent club.

Maddison might stick around due to injury, but wouldn’t be shocked if he went.

Leaves us with Kinsky, Danso, Dragusin, Souza, Gray, Odebert, Tel. Then Mikey Moore, Lankshear, Vuskovic, Scarlett, Dorrington, Barnett-Williams and Donley.

McKenna I would think would be the alternative if we can’t get Poch.
