Neil Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A draw wouldn't be the worst result considering their upturn in form, but really we need to be looking at the win here I have this nasty feeling you'll struggle. West Ham, although of course generally under pressure, may not be under as much as they were 2-3 weeks ago and will hope the Geordie faithful grow restless. That, combined with results against a similar standard of opposition this year at home means I'm going with 2-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hopefully their recent form means they'll come out and play a bit more, which plays right into our hands. last thing we want is them to go up and park the bus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a feeling its going to be more like the Blackburn game than any other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Not confident? Fuck off, these are shite. Any cunting team can win/draw a couple of games, and they will be shitting themselves playing infront of a big (non vile) set of supporters. Confident, emphatic 3-0 win. Shola brace, Best.

Cajun Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 We have played shite teams before and lost, just not counting my chickens. If Shola hadn't scored that fairly lucky goal yesterday the forum would have been in meltdown. That's not to say we didn't play well but we failed to take any of our other chances, that happened against City too and against Spurs playing 10 men we still managed to fuck everything up. West Ham are shit but I am not confident we have the goals in the team without Carroll. Hope I am wrong and we do another Sunderland/Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham are shite, but (like you say) every club has its run throughout the season, I just hope were the ones to end it and start the spiral of decline rather than go 5 games unbeaten for them.

midds Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Get at them early and we'll do them. They'll be targeting their home games and falling behind early on will demoralise them imo. Pressure the ball, deny them space and time, don't let them settle and pen them in. They'll crumble eventually. 3-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WashyGeordie Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think he might drop Loven for Best as he said he wanted to give him more of a chance (or something along them lines) but apart from that i can see it being pretty much the same side. 2-1.

Guest Tall Striker Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Wasn't directed at you, just fancied slagging off West Ham. West Ham are s****, but (like you say) every club has its run throughout the season, I just hope were the ones to end it and start the spiral of decline rather than go 5 games unbeaten for them. We're they four unbeaten last time we played them? 3 draws and the win v spurs? Yet we still played them off the park. As Rocker says, they're fucking shit, just on their mini roll of the season. Up to us to get stuck in to them early, get an early goal and force them to open the game up. Unfortunately, I can see a frustrating 0-0 draw.

Guest Tall Striker Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Not happy they have an extra days rest Swings and roundabouts. We had an extra days rest to Wigan for Sunday. Plus West Ham will be travelling up tomorrow more than likely, so will probably make little difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I can see a frustrating 0-0 draw. they aren't shit. in every game i've seen them play they dominated for a spell. made us look foolish for a while and are better than wigan. we should win but will fuck up if we goo in to the game with the same attitude we've had at home against other lesser lights.

buzza Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Been on the West Ham board and they are confident about this one. probable team for them: ----------------Green---------------- Ben Haim-- Tomkins-- Upson --Gabbidon Sears --Parker --Kovac --Boa Morte ----------Piquionne -----Cole Only change could be Obbinna for cole. That's quite a tough midfield but not very creative, we need to pass the ball about tomorrow and hopefully Shokla will turn up... :colo: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Around" 36,000 sold when I went in to pick up 2 at 11am this morning. Hopefully we'll break the 40,000 barrier but people are skint right now.
