Everton players had little pressure yesterday. Yes, they are going for Europa/Conference league but they had nothing to lose really. West Ham players will be dreading the Woolwich game. They are under the cosh and know their opponent will be all over them.

Exactly, Woolwich have banged them for 11 goals in their last two visits to the running track. I will be amazed if the game isn't over at HT. I can't see anything other than WH putting 11 behind the ball in effort to nick a point and failing miserably when Woolwich score from their first set piece.
Totally different scenario.
Moyes is one of those managers who just demands all the time. At home, no pressure, big challenge. He loves it. Bloke is quite unique, which makes them a difficult last day opponent.
On Sunday, I think part depends on tonight. If that lot are already in the CL final, which seems likely (not definite), they will be under slightly less pressure, and that would be good. Tuesday to Sunday is also long enough to take the weariness out of the legs.
I just want West Ham to lose, as a win on Monday for us leaves West Ham having to win both of their last 2 matches. In truth I want West Ham's spirit crushed.
City need to beat Brentford because that forces that lot's hand. City losing would be calamitous, as it leaves that lot able to accept a draw, which leaves a defeat more possible in my opinion.
Too many permutations.
I just want this wretched season over with, and safety secured. Absolutely nothing is guaranteed as yet, and that means nothing.

I really don't want it going to the last match of the season. You can see us losing 1-0 from a set piece or something.
We need that Leeds win.
And that West Ham defeat.
I kinda think even Atletico stinking their way to the final would be good for us. The Scum would just take it all out on West Ham.
If that's what you think, fair enough.
Nothing is going to be welcome but least bad is that lot beating West Ham on Sunday. It's draining even thinking about it or what happens if City fail to beat Brentford, which is entirely possible.
That is a worry now. They might have given up on the title now and are dodgy at the back. Pep will still demand but he hasn’t got a top team anymore. They rarely string a bunch of wins together.
I can’t see Woolwich not getting past Madrid. We could have done with Woolwich playing West Ham before city play next. I’ll be relieved if city beat Brentford.

I Feel like west ham wont win again , think losing to Brentford and potentially arse will just knock the life out of them on their long trip to Newcastle
And I can see them just drawing against Leeds . Really depends on that Woolwich game, that will be the last of their big fight on front of their fans

If they have to beat Leeds to have a chance of staying up, I think they will.
But hopefully we'll have made sure of our survival by then anyway.
Was just looking at Leeds recent away performances. Looks like they'll actually be out hardest opponent
Bournemouth, man u, west ham, palace, villa , Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Brentford all failed to beat their guests
Master of the draw
GD now unassailable, which is a big plus
Woolwich will know this is their big chance. I think they'll beat West Ham.
And I think we can just get past Leeds
We go four clear and at that point just need a win. But probably won't get it vs Chelsea
Hopefully West Ham won't beat Newcastle, though that one concerns me.
If we can beat Leeds, and WH lose to Woolwich, then they need to win both remaining games and we need to lose both. I can't see that happening. This weekend is MASSIVE!
C O Y S !

Nailed on, 100% agree. Exactly how I see it, and pretty much hope it pans out.
If it goes to four points with 2 games I think West Ham will be broken and will shit the bed at St James’ Park.
I certainly think that if West Ham need to win at St James it becomes very very hard for them.
That's my big hope but much needs to happen (all in our favour) before that possibility, and that's both the stress and the concern.
It might be that Doku's last gasp equaliser last night helped us more than many might realise.
Time will tell.
Scheduling is a fcuking joke.
