    I think it’s one thing Spurs losing to Everton, it’s another us beating a very good Leeds side, given we have lost our last 3 games

    That's the spirit.

    Spurs should and will be nervous as they’ve not won a league game at home this year so maybe they try to hang on for a draw.

    And Everton are no pushover away from home, gotta just hope that all goes our way ..COYI⚒️
    Neither are Leeds ! ⚒
    Exactly! That’s why I said I hope that all goes our way….👍🏻⚒️

    Leeds have only won twice away from home but have drawn 9.
    Everton have won more and lost fewer games away than at home.
    Hopefully on Sunday Leeds stats stay as they are and Everton add one more win.

    Don't expect Everton to throw in the towel but would be better if they were a bit closer to the European places, they could technically finish 8th but requires others losing and by a few goals as their GD is quite a bit worse than the others

    I don’t get why anybody wouldn’t be struggling for optimism after the 37 games this season we’ve witnessed, 19 defeats

    But Lukerz, you gave up before Christmas.
  • LukerzLukerz
    To be fair, I gave up way earlier than that - think it was Sunderland away
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I rest my case. 😂

    Everton have gone six games without a win, their last win was at home to Chelsea and their last away win was at Newcastle back in February

    Definitely overdue an away win

    Whatever happens this is my club as it has been for a long, long time and I will continue the agony ( and very occasional ecstasy) albeit from my armchair these days.Once it’s in the blood there’s no going back.
    WHTID.⚒️

    That is one of the issues, the fans like ourselves have all the emotional stake but little, if any, of the ability to steer the club. Those temporary custodians who choose when they come and when they leave have the ability to change the course of the club and allow it to flourish or fail. They can walk away but we are always with the club.

    I’m completely with you Slacker. Born in West Ham before the war, Watched from my Dad’s shoulders until I got too big, when he then made me a folding stand. Always in the Chicken Run with its memorable smell of beer and tobacco. The noise under that tin roof was something else. Yes, I’ll support them in the Champo too. We might begin to win more games than we lose, and that would be a lovely change!

    Carson, am I right in assuming the carson road in your name is the one off New Barn Street in Plaistow?
  • carsonroadboycarsonroadboy
    Indeed it is.

    Once a Hammer etc. You can’t shake it off although they have a lot to answer for. I got engaged to my wife at Geoff Hurst’s testimonial dinner in 1970 and we’ve now been married 54 years and I can’t shake her off either.

    Thorn, my ex wife ran off with my best pal. God I miss him. =)

    Some of the jokes on here are even older than me.
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Reading some of the opinions and comments from Spuds fans, they seem more worried than us about tomorrow, yet only 1of the possible 9 results will relegate them - such faith in the team. =)
    Let's hope they get on the players' backs on Sunday and the nervousness is catching.
    COYI.

    It's such a shame as we were so close to having Spurs relegated bur we will just need to rely on Moyes now and hope we can do our bit. Personally I think we will win but Spurs will get a draw and survive by the skin of their teeth.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    At this juncture, I just want to make sure we make them work for it, let’s beat Leeds and see where the chips land.

    I would hate to lose only for them to lose to Everton and stay up anyway
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Looking at our head to head record against Leeds, it's not very good, W18, L42, D22.
    I'm just hoping Leeds have got their minds on the beach.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    The head to head comparisons are not too good against most teams.
  • ValiantIronValiantIron
    The odds suggest we have a 10% or so chance of surviving. I just have a nasty premonition that we may be relying on a David Moyes side to defend a lead, and the criticism coming out of Everton recently has sounded awfully familiar!

    That almost suggests we're lucky to still be in the Prem - for now. ;)
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    It could be one of the best days as a West Ham fan, not only surviving but sending Spurs down, or one of the worst. I fear we missed our opportunity to keep it in our hands and will pay for that today, but there is always hope and final day of the season has certainly thrown up the unexpected before.
  • everhopefuleverhopeful
    I don't think it is one of the worst.
    There have been 37 previous matches which may have been one of the worst. Today we are where we are. Go out, enjoy it, win it, and let fate do what it will.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    For me, it was the Wolves game - imo that was a proper debacle
  • everhopefuleverhopeful
    Nottingham Forest at home for me
  • LukerzLukerz
    Surprised anybody felt RDZ would not keep Spurs up
