Who will be the third team to be relegated?

current season

Relieved Swansea only got a point today. The question being who will go down to join Sunderland and Boro? Mathematically we are still not safe though Swansea would have to win 3 games but I don't see that. Hull can win one of theirs and possibly get at least one draw. Palace might struggle to get many points. We will have to get one or 2 points to make sure we stay up. I fancy a draw against Poo and Burnley. Spurs I don't see anything although we will be up for it no doubt. Anything can happen in this league but it is in our hands. COYI.

Personally I don't think the

Personally I don't think the results did us too many favours this week. Think there seems to be a confidence that I don't share for the scoucers. Maybe the last game will need a points for both burnley and West Ham for both to stay up. Swansea must be favourites now as they still have a lot to do. Might be worth protecting our goal differance with our lives as it would be worth another point.

palace

will be worrying a lot now with both Manchester teams away still to play and fellow strugglers Hull the pressure on them will be immense and with there central defenders getting crocked defensively they could be in big big trouble, as for us I reckon we will scrape through and hopefully the shock of near relegation and all that would bring will be the kick up the backside our board need and some serious investment on the playing side needed or else we will be doing it all again next season.

I can't see us getting any

I can't see us getting any points against Liverpool or spurs and probably a 0-0 against Burnley. we have no decent strikers just a pot of crocks

Swansea face 3 teams with nothing to play for.

Two home games, one against an Everton side that's been terrible away from home, and away to Sunderland who are relegated. It wouldn't surprise me too much if Swansea did manage 9 points (though it's not by any means the most likely scenario). That would put them on 41 and safe. Hull need to win 2 of 3. It won't be Spurs on the last day, so they have to beat Sunderland (which they will do) and Palace. If Palace get a draw at City they are safe. If that happens I would not be at all surprised if Allardici fields a weak side v. Palace just for the damage it might cause us.

I think we really need two more points to be sure and I won't breathe easy until our status is secured. I don't see us getting any points from the next two, and I wouldn't put money on getting anything at Turf Moor, even if our survival is on the line, which it may well be.

Whatever happens, we are almost guaranteed to be in the same spot next season. It seems no one wants to play for West Ham, certainly not any decent strikers. Don't know if that's the chairmen's fault or what. We've gone in one season from a team needing to fill just a few holes to being a team that needs almost wholesale revision, with what few capable players we have left possibly moving somewhere else. The situation is dire; it could easily go like the Villa and Sunderland, where we hang on a couple of seasons and then finally get relegated. The teams coming up next season will be favoured over us to stay up.

Ashes, if people at the club

Ashes, if people at the club don't get a reality check on how the club is being run from top to bottom then we will be in real trouble next season! Things have to change, the whole way of thinking. Both manager and board have to think like a bigger club than we currently do. Having said that I don't share your pessimistic view on the current team as players. We have some decent players out for the rest of the season and we need a manager with far more savvy and nous than bilic. Having said that we do need real quality at rb, striker and creative midfielder. That's means players that are not a punt like most years.

Yes, you're right.

With some of the injured players, I tend to forget they're even on the team. Like Ogbonna, for example, not to mention Antonio. But I couldn't agree more with you that it's the whole way the club is being run, from top to bottom. We'd all like to think that the move to the new stadium heralded a new age for West Ham, but the Club hasn't lived up to what it was selling with that move. Not asking for Champions League, or even Europe, but just continued development, some exciting and good players, and gradual strengthening inside the top ten. Our fan base is big enough, the stadium is big enough, the market is big enough, so where is the commitment to keep pace with that?

Spoken on behalf of most of

Spoken on behalf of most of us there ashes. Couldn't Agree more. Question is are the powers that be at the club, capable of looking at the whole picture rather than a very small part of it? I'd feel so much more confident if the owners held their hands up and said we need to do things differently and better than we did last season. They are alienating so many fans, they could be digging their own grave.
