People discounting Leeds and Forest are honestly living in some kind of fantasy land.

4 points separate the 4 teans, with West Ham's goal difference effectively meaning an extra point.

None of the 4 teans are either down or safe at present, and 3 weeks works more in our favour than it does for Forest for example.

Fair way to go.

If Leeds take 4 points from there home games against Burnley and Wolves they will be on 37 points - they will almost certainly pick up a draw or two in the other games - can you see us getting 8 or 9 points?

That’s why Leeds aren’t in this. I tell you what though, if you’re so sure they are still in this then you can get 7/1 on them going down. By contrast we’re 5/4 and West Ham aren’t evens.

The reason Leeds won’t drop is because when they can’t score, they often don’t concede either - they will keep grubbing draws and get a 1-0 over either Wolves or Burnley

Not interested im breaking it down. Too error strewn and doesn't account for what actually happens.

We all do it but until a result is a result, it's just speculative bunkum.

4 teams. 1 goes down.

I’ve noticed Jender has not stuck the latest OPTA relegation stats on here. I can tell you that Pre West Ham when some of us were worried but getting shouted down about these stats, our relegation % was 0.03%

It’s currently 27.10%

Marinakis would have sacked Frank in November. Not saying he is a good CEO/owner, but he wouldn't have dawdled.

Big picture always. Club first.

We owed Frank nothing and yet we held on, although plenty on here flim-flammed at the sight of a decent CL game.

The myopia towards some players and at times with Frank is showing itself up now, and still, those who worship at the feet of Van De Ven and Romero are mostly silent. Jokers.

For reasons only known to Tudor and Frank, the reward for indiscipline and poor performances are more games. Weird.

It worries me that some fans are taking comfort that "at least there are worse teams than us"

No there aren't.
We've taken 0.1ppg in our last 6.
Everyone has taken more.
WH have 1ppg in their last 6.
Burnley have 0.8

Etc

The only comfort I take is that there are 7 games left, Kudus returns giving us width we clearly lack and that its a funny old game.

That's literally as optimistic as I'm able to be watching the players let their heads flop after 45 minutes in such an important game.

7 games left and whilst it feels like the there's no way out, we still aren't actually in the relegation zone and we did see signs in the 2 matches prior to yesterday that we are able to dig up a result or two if the attitude and mindset shifts.

I'm a Tottenham fan, I simply cannot give up. 3 weeks until the next battle for our football club. Nobody throw the towel in, this is where the club you love need you the most. Get behind the team and play your part until the end and then we can dissect and slander those necessary to slander.

Dig deep until May, it's not about the players, the directors, its about our love for the badge, the shirt, the history that makes us what we are.

Got to keep fighting ladies and gents, it gives us that extra little bit that just might make a difference.

Chuckle brothers innit. Having their little chicken salad lunches with him.

Fucking trifecta of incompetence, destroyed the club in record time

Will take the club a very long time to fully recover from relegation

Sunderland, Brighton, Wolves, Leeds, Everton - 3 wins and a draw, 3 osses still there to be had, 4 at a push.

Don't forget there's still 2 teams above us within 3 points of where we are. They aren't out of the woods yet either.

We need a positive result vs Brighton and Leeds at home absolutely no doubt though.

Being super optimistic...

Brighton are well beyond us all over the pitch. Not gonna win that

Wolves and Sunderland away I could maybe see a couple draws

No chance of getting anything from villa or Chelsea away

Can only see 4 points at best from Everton and Leeds at home


6 more points enough to survive? Maybe if west hams blip is truly over
 
Christ. 27% chance of going down. Finishing 17th two years in a row, but this year with no silverware. Fuck it, I'll take it at this point.

What are the chances of meaningful change occurring if we stay up? Can we see those stats?
