25-26 Relegation Thread

[Robioto]

I think they'll stay up against us on the last day. I know form shows they won't pick up points and they look down and out, but football is rarely predictable and I'm convinced they'll pick up more points than people are generally predicting.

I think it will go down to the wire between Forest, West Ham and Spurs, but they will find it when they need it most.

I hope I'm wrong though as I'd absolutely revel in them being relegated, especially as three of my close mates are fans.

I feel this scenario I posted a month ago is very likely to come true now. (Exvept the Forest bit, they have had some great results)

Come on Leeds , get your own back on Spurs . Help send them down.

Things aren't falling for West Ham but you do think there's still a chance for them. Who knows what Chelsea side will show up but under the lights to put Spurs in a relegation position would be something they'd turn up for you'd think. Who knows how the FA Cup outcome will play into that. If they lose it then they'll need to beat Spurs and Sunderland for Europe next season.

No doubt in my mind Newcastle is a must win game for West Ham though. They can't go into that last match in the relegation zone. A draw would still give them a glimmer of hope if Chelsea won but even then... It's Everton. You never want to depend on Everton for anything.

Sun 17:30 Newcastle v West Ham
Tue 19:30 Chelsea v Spurs

Spurs' pathway has really been very kind and somehow they're still in the mix. Even the next one against Chelsea is on Tuesday after Chelsea (who are already in poor form) play essentially their biggest game of the season on Saturday. So they only really have two days to prepare and play again.

If West Ham can't get anything from Newcastle, Spurs only really need a point too given their goal difference.

Spurs will stay up. The only consolation is West Ham will go down.

That Villa game really was huge for spurs.

Villas first string beat them comfortably I think.

It fell perfectly for them after Villas first leg.

Spurs will stay up. The only consolation is West Ham will go down.

Which is then ruined by the almost guaranteed signing of Soucek by Moyes.

[Cozzie]

I was thinking this.

West ham go down there isn't a thing I'm more sure of than Souceck coming here.

Hope not but it would be likely.

Having said that, I'd nab both Wan-Bissaka and Diouf for the RB and LB slots from the hammers if they go down.

[Shogun]

AWB is Mykolenko with a slide tackle imo.

Feel like Moyes would never play that Diouf in a back 4.

Could see us getting rinsed for Bowen

[TheRam]

Diouf is awful imo.

I’d have Bowen all day but he’s struggled playing outwide this season.

I was having a look at West Ham’s squad, they brought in so many players in 2024 just after Moyes left the club, the only players I recognise who played under Moyes are Soucek and Bowen.

Rumours are we are interested in Bowen.
