Pilko Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Really tough to predict anything but misfortune and shit, given it's the leadup to a cup final. Would love to be surprised and see us play well and win. They're a way down the table for a reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I’ll be there. First time at London Stadium, fourth time at West Ham. Previously 0-2 1998/99 4-2 2005/06 0-0 2012/13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Very winnable game but can't see anything other than a defeat. That's probably Sunday's post match depression talking mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Huge game in our season this, for two main reasons, preparing us for the final and keeping champions league alive. If the players aren’t up for it then something’s wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Yeah. I was there for the Henri Saivet game and the away end is terrible. The whole ground, commute and everything is just a bit shit really. No idea what to expect here. I don’t think they’re suddenly good since Potter came in. But they’ve picked up a bit and we’ve been up and down at best of late.

The Prophet Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This lot are bobbins. We should be winning, but we can't carry on chucking in subpar performances. Make it count before the cup final please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Can't see Isak starting this one with the final then next week. Need Wilson and Barnes to don their anti West Ham boots again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This feels must win, otherwise there's real danger of the whole season going tits up within the space of a fortnight. Feel like pua shit, just want the fortnight either side of Christmas Newcastle back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need Wilson and Barnes to don their anti West Ham boots again I was thinking that the team that will start in the final would start this one? Playing the same team consistently has its benefits. I'll trust Howe either way. Really hoping that Botman and Hall are back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Isak plays, I think, but I could see him being withdrawn after an hour or so and we'll be treated to another glimpse of Cal's Last Dance. The slow dance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Ideal XI: Pope, Trippier, Krafth, Burn, Targett, Miley, Longstaff, Willock, Osula, Barnes and Wilson. It won't happen but personally I'd gamble on giving Schar, Botman, Tino, Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton, Murphy and Isak the week off in the hope they'll be really fresh for the cup final.

alexf Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 So you are happy to lose then. That team isn't winning a premier league game unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botman the week off? He's not played for ages. He needs this game to have a chance of starting the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Yeah, full strength for sure. There isn't that many league games left, and it's our only one in March. It's obviously a distraction having a final 6 days later but it's really important we win this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Personally think we'll go on another daft run after the final and that this one is about as comfortable a 2 nil West Ham win as you can think of. Edited March 4 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, our 4 after the final are Brentford (H), Leicester (A), Man Utd (H) & Palace (H). Really should be looking at least 10pts there, but I'd definitely fancy us getting 12. After that we have 3 home & 3 away. Some nice home games but Villa, Brighton () and Arsenal away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
