And on a tangent, look at WHam and Burnley, their shirts and their positions in the table - that's what happens to claret and blue teams when you ditch the blue sleeves.
Careful, Joe. Aren't we going to that style next season? I hope not 'cos the concepts I've seen are horrible.

If we do, we deserve all we get!

West Ham have been playing like they have money on Spurs staying up.

So did we.

Are we not over that yet?

Nope. It might have meant we beat Forest on the Thursday and obviously it was against the cloggers who almost wrecked our season in January so who knows if someone would have gotten injured, but that display where we had our first shot in the 70th minute was still goddamn awful.

In hindsight it was completely justified. But it *does* mean that we don't really get to whinge about other teams not doing their bit to help relegate Spurs.

I hope West Ham are relegated by more than the 3 points we gifted spurs otherwise it will be our fault.

I don't think it is "our" fault. West Ham still had it in their hands although their run in was tough, but I still hated the players doing their white flag impression, even from the ones who didn't need to save themselves for Europe and we know can be a lot better. But also nothing from the manager at the time as well.

Just noticed he started with the five at the back. Very similar to him doing that at ours last season with Forest and pretty much having the same result of being lucky to be only two down at half time.

I missed the Osula celebration in real time. Wow what an absolute weapon he is. Someone should have a word.

Mmmm, he has been doing little dances after scoring recently, I wonder if the film makers sponsored him? Although he was almost too young  for the scandals (six when he died) and so if he had recently watched the film he wouldn't have known about any controversies.

West Ham having beaten Wolves 4-0, proceeded to lose three straight if they don’t come back today. So while we didn’t do our part specific to Spurs, they have been pathetic in doing their bit.

Everton was their last win with a draw at Palace in between that and Wolves.
