I don’t have real skin in the game, but I’m struggling to see how it’s highly likely spurs get at least a point. The result against us is so far a complete anomaly.

Yes blame the advisors. PM was Cameron and mayor was Johnson. Join the dots.

Seb Coe was head of London 2012 or whatever it was called and Lady Brady. What do they all have in common?

It's the C word isn't it? I don't like using the term as I find it particularly crude & offensive. It should be reserved only to describe the lowest of the low.

Same here. I mean, anything can happen, but it's still likely they lose.

On balance, West Ham paying diddly squat to play in their stadium is better than an Olympic white elephant hosting the occasional concert or monster trucks event.
The error was not being more realistic about the legacy strategy for the stadium from the outset. The conversion for football was very expensive, but still a massive compromise, so that it can be used for athletics twice a year. The process of finding a football club anchor tenant was negotiated from a position of weakness. The Seville athletics stadium was converted permanently for football recently, and seems like a good design solution.
