Yeah agreed. In the run up to lockdown spam showed they have the balls to put in performances under pressure and we have bottled every big 6 pointer. This team is pathetic.

They've lost 8 of the last 11, what exactly are West Ham showing besides they are shit?

West Ham have been worse than us since September, because they are shit.

And are still shit. We are shit we don't deserve it going to the last day, we are showing no fight and so on, and yet somehow a team above us only by GD and in worse form since September are showing more than us, I just don't get that logic.

I agree SoccerHQ.  We look nailed on to be one of those teams who, when relegation is confirmed we play with confidence, imagination and flair when it is too late.

I still wouldn't be surprised if we took it to the last day. West Ham and Bournemouth don't look like they have many wins in them either so if we're 3 points off West Ham we'd still have a slight chance going there on the last day. However given our GD is still worse we could have to go there and win 2 or 3 nil so very slim chance.

Depends how relatively heavy both teams lose by in the next few games by. Could see us get closer in GD if we keep the scores down in defeats and West Ham don't

Seeing how Liverpool are beating a decent Palace team with complete ease I'd be surprised if we didn't concede 4 at Anfield. Will probably concede a few v Man. United now they have all their forwards fit.

Don't have much hope of staying up on GD.

West Ham are a club owned by pornograhers, we a club created by a Wesleyan Chapel.  Good will always triumph over evil.

West ham got Newcastle, Norwich and Burnley at home in the run in. We need to hope they only win one of those really. We'd love a fixture like Burnley at home in the run in rather than the ones we've got.

West Ham are poor but their underachieving attacking players will probably get going in some of those games and it will be enough for them to crawl over the line.

Think Bournemouth are done, Calum Wilson picked up his 10th booking so he's got a two match ban now. Rules him out of Newcastle at home which is their most winnable game left.

GBS have ripped the soul out of that club with the move from the Boleyn and pocketed the cash. It’s no real wonder that they are in this mess. I don’t see that changing even if they stay up.

I'm not in the business of smashing Dean Smith right now but in his post match comments he said he faced criticism for our lack of possession against Chelsea. Something he rationalises by saying they're an established Premier League club. Jesus, we're not facing Premier League clubs are we! No wonder we're shit.

I'm obviously tempting fate, but West Ham are, and always have been, way more of a clown show that we are. I'm glad it's them we need to finish above.

We’re one of 4 shit teams, very slightly shitter over 31 games than 2 of them. I’m not a fan of West Ham by any stretch. In my opinion, and it’s all about opinions, in the handful of games before the break they looked like they had more fight than us and were more likely to either pull a freak result out of the bag than us or just grind their way to survival by staying ahead of us by a point or GD. Hope I’m wrong.

I see nothing to suggest we are going to beat teams in the top half. We’re going to need some turnaround in quality and consistency of performance.

We'll beat Man Utd, Arsenal and West Ham, draw with Palace and Wolves and stay up. If I'm wrong I'll donate £1000
