You've been an insufferable little trolling twat over the past few months with your constant dooming and relegation crap so you're gonna have to hold this one and take what you're owed.

Or we could celebrate staying up as a united fanbase eh? No? Back to cunt offs so soon?

Ah well. Look, I was dooming and went overboard but ffs we were 18th with our fate out of our hands a month ago. West Ham fucking up massively was required for survival. I think you, me, the fans, the coaches, the players, and most of all the executives would do well to remember that fact. We relied on luck to survive and we must change radically to never be in this position again. That change starts with backing De Zerbi and I am fully behind him, even more than I was for Conte or Ange.

If we hired him in January instead of dicking around with Frank and Tudor we could’ve challenged for a European spot.

Where's the fun in that?

In fact I think I'm addicted to this final day relegation caper. Can't wait until we sack De Zerbi and finally hire Marco Silva so we can plunge back into the relegation zone and I can feel this intense rush again....

I'm right behind this guy. He would have to actually get us relegated now before I would stop supporting him. Before he came in I thought we were gone, I really did. And I thought his appointment came too late. It was close but he has got results since he came in and we somehow survived. I'm not going to have a moan about this guy when we inevitably go through a bad patch at some point. He can do what he wants, and I'm with him all the way.
 
Like the rest of you I am delighted that (A) we avoided relegation, and (B) we now have in RDZ a manager who seems to have the technical skills, personality and passion to make the best of our existing players and hopefully attract some good new talent.

It seems to me that our improved results were as much down to RDZ getting into the players heads (and tapping into their on-field passion) as they were to his wider technical/strategic input. This is no better illustrated than considering the increased percentage of 50/50 balls we won in recent weeks. Our players put their bodies on the line more than previuosly.

It was in our favour that our opposition in the last 7 matches was pretty average. It's hard to recall a constant serious EPL-level attacking threat from any of them. Everton, Villa (without key players) , Chelsea (also without a couple of their usual starters) , Wolves and Leeds were pretty ordinary. Brighton might be the exception.

Anyway, it's now onwards and upwards.

We look forward seeing some version of Spurs (probably mainly the younger players) in New Zealand next July.

Luck?

Are you serious? I can’t think of one single lucky break Spurs had in the run in.

People characterize West Ham being poor down the stretch as "luck", but that's why they are relegated. They are poor. The job of surviving relegation is always to beat a poor club that deserves to be where they are.

They are poorly run, the squad is substandard, the manager's done a poor job all told.

You can't be unlucky for an entire season. It's not bad luck. They suck.
