Paullow Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Feels like it could be effectively wrapped up come Monday night, unfortunately. It's nothing new, obviously, but it is shit how fixture placement can dictate so much. Aston Villa away is one of the hardest matches of the season in most cases, but not in this case tonight.

SteV Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Although we’d all find it marvellous if it were Spurs to go, West Ham feels like a fairly solid consolation prize to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Personally I’m gutted. When do we think the next time is that a cartel club faces the drop? It’s not happening, this is one of those miraculous seasons where it was all coming together. West Ham have had three seasons out of the premier league during its lifetime, it’s something but it’s like ordering a Pastrami sourdough sandwich with Dijon mustard and caper berries and you get handed over some white bread warburtons with some margarine and spam hanging out the back of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 It's a real missed opportunity. One of the Sky Six going would have been excellent. Mind you, I wonder if Spurs are even considered part of the club now that Levy's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd *much* rather Spurs go down too, of course - as well as the sheer visceral delight of it (and that stupid stadium hosting champo clubs would be hilarious), it feels like maybe it would deal a blow to any future ESL type schemes that anyone's cooking up. The little bit of copium that I'm smoking is that while spurs would be straight back up as champions, i wonder whether maybe west ham would struggle a bit more in the champ, might even not get promoted first season, collapse of the porn twats - undeniably hilarious. and also another white elephant of a stadium hosting lincoln et al. it maybe the spam + marge on warburtons option - but i don't totally hate that option.

Stifler Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) West Ham going down would have been pretty funny if Spurs were not an option, although I agree it poses more of an existential threat to them then it does to Spurs. I’ve never really believed that Spurs would go down, I’ve always thought that if need be, there would be a few dodgy decisions happening. It seems like West Ham are just going to run out of steam though. Edited May 5 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I really hope Forest go through to the final mind, Villa made a complete mockery of the league not only with that team they put out but the players that were on the pitch didn't give a single fuck either . Spurs are now safe . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs are now safe . Forest’s team was equally as ‘weak’ as Villa’s mind. Obviously massive question marks about the application of most of their players that started, but credit to Spurs for at least being committed and motivated against them, as opposed to Chelsea against Forest… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've never been this close to relegation in my life - last season not even close Whilst you’re right they weren’t close points-wise last season, there were still 16 better teams than them in the league, and it looks like being the same again this season. It doesn’t feel like that 16 turning into 17, would be some monumental event that no-one saw coming. Edited May 6 by SteV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) It's true that they weren't in a relegation battle, but I take that 'throwing games' excuse for Ange with a pinch of salt. They were fucking shit, and didn't need to be that shit to be able to win the Europa league, where the final consisted of two shit teams. They'll actually probably surpass last season's points total. They're only one off now. Edited May 6 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Some off the stuff that’s emerging about West Ham’s finances (which tbf, West Ham fans seem to have known for a while) is pretty alarming. I think relegation might actually be more damaging for them than it would be for Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
