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.

Jamie Vardy scored the winner for Cremonese at Keinan Davis' Udinese. Cremonese could still be relegated on the final day.

Roma beat Lazio in the Rome Derby. Malen didn't score, surprisingly, but Roma are now in pole position for the last CL spot. Fabregas' Como are 2 points behind in 5th and oddly have the best goal difference in Serie A after the champions, Inter.

Lecce got a 96th minute winner at Sassuolo. Between them and Vardy's bunch to stay up.

Juve now on the outside looking in, regarding last Champion's League spot, after they lost at home to Fiorentina.

Well they’ve not lost in 4, so they’ve been picking up points. Also one point in two games is pretty likely, and even if they don’t West Ham have to win - which seems unlikely.

Spurs need one point from two games against the teams currently 16th and 20th in the form table; West Ham need, just for starters, three points from one game against the team in second. All three remaining games of relevance need to go decisively in West Ham's favour.

Leeds have four wins and four draws from their last eight games.

It's not impossible that they Spurs it up, but everything is pointing at one claret and blue team in the league next season.

I think you mean two, otherwise your point contradicts itself

It's not impossible that Spurs will Spurs it up. West Ham can't Spurs it up.
