I have a feeling 3 wins would do it.
We’re not getting 3 wins
The problem is when West Ham win a match like vs Everton yesterday, even when we win our match in the same game week, their 2 points lead remains but with less opportunity to gain on it.
So even though we won yesterday, today we're actually in a worse league position than before the matches started because we have less opportunities to catch them.
That chance he missed vs Brighton and that other one yesterday...friggin criminal for a 50 mil player earning 200k a week.
Yes, it's too little too late. The Brighton game was the last chance saloon, win that and it would look different but we blew it.
No mate.
We are 3 points closer to Forest and Leeds United than we were @ 16.30pm yesterday.
I get why people are annoyed, I am as well. That late winner was a proper kick in the teeth. But that one result isn’t the nail in the coffin it’s being made out to be.
A few minutes of being above them then dropping back again doesn’t suddenly erase the fact we kept pace and stayed right on their heels.
If anything, the key takeaway is simple: we’re still in it, and we’ve stopped the rot. That matters a hell of a lot more than people are giving it credit for.
You also have to factor in west hams motivation for this.
Here is a club that claims, they won a world cup, because of three players.
They have barely won fuck all, finishing in the top about 7 or 8 times in their history.
So for them, to be able to claim they sent us down will cause parties involving copius amounts of jellied eels and pie and mash.
This is what they want, we have helped by making it easier for them.
We could still do it but it's become less likely.
We need the dominoes to fall in our favour.
Just my opinion. We looked worse and less of a threat when he went off yesterday. Richie offered nothing but headless running
We could down on 40 points at this rate. All the relegation rivals are winning.
God that is depressingly likely

Yes, and that's important.
I think Villa away represents s better opportunity for Spurs to get something than your instincts tell you.
Villa were good at winning, after Europe on a Thursday evening, in the first half of the season.
Not so much in the second half of the season.
They've had the odd poor result and performance, after Europe, in the second half of the season.
They are playing Forest either side of our game against them next Sunday evening.
Spurs have to target this game for 3 points.
You tell me.
Honestly, I can't see us win more than one game til season end.
