We we were never going to be in the top 4 race and I think we will finish about 8th or 9th. Which would be outstanding given where we were but tinged with disappointment with what could have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw would be a good result Nah, we lost 4-0 last time to them. The Don doesn't take us losing in the last fixture lightly. Just ask Chelsea and Leicester. Hell even Wet Spam we didn't lose under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Who would have thought that packing your side with tall but slow players and relying on set pieces was never going to be sustainable long term West Hams defenders in particular looked like they were running in treacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 West Ham (as well as Leicester) are a cautionary tale against getting too comfortable in these heady heights of the (lower) European positions. They've both been playing in Europe for about 3 seasons now and all of a sudden are in serious danger of being relegated. Meanwhile the clubs they were competing with at that end of the table (Spurs, Chelsea) as well as the likes of Liverpool are having poor seasons, but the lowest among them is 11th. You have to be very careful in this league if you're not 1 of the Sky 6. I imagine you'd probably need a decade of European football a la Tottenham to get any sort of solid footing in this league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Assume that’s gonna be West Ham looking for a new manager too, if they weren’t already. Interesting if so, a lot of big jobs up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's one thing for us to pull off a grim reaper ten in the Championship and another thing altogether to repeat the feat in the Premier League! Oh well.

stewiek2 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Top four is off only when the Don says it is. Til then I am still believing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Well just think, if we'd got a late goal v the 'ammers then we'd be on six wins in a row right now, rather than three! That would have been even more amazing and we weren't far of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochheads twin Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Brentford showing they should not be easily discounted in the battle for the European spots. Although they lost tonight they are still a tough nut to crack. going down to the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
