We are in a false position, should be a few places lower, and may well be by tomorrow night. 11 points from the last 36 I believe, nowhere near good enough.
To have any chance of finishing 7th we need min 7 points from the next three games imo.

I'm an optimist so 13 for me, so in with a chance of the conference (should we not win the Europa and be in the CL) be close i reckon? 58 would be 9th last season but we did get it the 21/22 season with 56 points!
I will be at the Luton game, got an outside chance of a ticket for the Chelsea away game as well.
Have decided to pass on the Man City game, could have got a ticket but in the home end! No thanks sitting with a bunch of Citeh fans.........plus its odds on a home win for them!

Sydney - So you've (rightly) wrote off the City game, so you believe we will take 13 points from the remaining 6 games, when we have just taken 11 points from 12 games? You say you're an optimistic? What I think you meant to say is that you're a simple optimist away with the fairies.

Not quite Manuel, im assuming (hoping) we get 3 points V Wolves, Fulham, Palace and Luton, all very doable wouldn't you agree?
And then a point from either Liverpool or Chelsea, again that not too farfetched, is it?
Still thinking did i do the right thing in knocking back that Man city away ticket though? last game of the season and all that, my thoughts though is sitting in the middle of a bunch of Citeh fans celebration winning the PL would be bit too much, as i think they will do it.

Sydney - Fair enough, at least a bit of analysis. But to hope, assume, we will win the winnable games is probably off the mark considering we have dropped points the entire season against bottom half sides, as you commented on yourself just a few days ago. Couple that with 11 points taken from the last 12 games, that would be some turn around. We have only won 2 games all calendar year. Throw into the mix at least 2 more games in Europe, and I can't say I'm too hopeful of even going close to your prediction.
Maybe our best chance of 7th is the teams below us continuing to slip up, fuck knows how we are still 7th.

Individually yes, but collectively, there is no way we are winning all 4 of those games.
There is 6 points between us and Fulham in 13th.
I'm thining we'll do well to finish in the top half.

I did say i was an optimist in my original post Scott, LOL
But i do get your point and Manuels about our form so far against lower league teams not to mention the amount of games we may have to play if we keep going in the Europa.
I prefer to look forward rather than back so sticking with my 13 points, granted its very unlikely on paper, but i will keep the faith.

Sydney - Weird how you've decided just to become a troll poster on here now, I mean why now after all these years? You're entire analysis is just based on you being an optimist? Haha, fucking hell.

I'm a troll know am i? LOL FMOB!
As to being an Optimist, been supporting this club all my life and one thing i have learned is you have to remain optimistic, let's face it we usually fuck things up one way or another....
We will lose to Man city; we all know that but come game day i will think/hope we can spring a surprise, even though this far out i can see it's a lost cause if i put my rational head on.
I will keep the Optimist and Troll like head on for now thanks!

Sydney is a pessimist who likes to think he’s the opposite. He accepts things the way they are and makes the best of it as he sees it as being how West Ham is…..an optimist wouldn’t except the clubs current decisions and still want for better at great risk…..as they always think we can do better….and should do better….

Did this prediction with my lad last night after we got home from the game. I think I predicted 53 (14 11 13) and he predicted 54 (14 12 12).
We'll probably finish about 9th with that kind of tally which is where we should finish. We are bang average.

Would anyone really want to be in the Conference League next season (likely 8th spot) ? Yea I know it's still Europe and a chance for more trips etc, but when you look at the lack of press Villa have had it's a reminder of the credibility of the thing. Also, it may increase Moyes's chances of staying and another season with a shitload of Sunday games, although admittedly I don't mind Sunday's.

I think we'd miss Europe if we weren't in it next season, Manuel (I don't think we will, btw).

We are use to it a bit now. I still think we have a good chance of 8th, but have to beat Wolves on Saturday. Hopefully the Bees beat the Seagulls later, apparently they murdered Manu on Saturday.

It's all academic as I think we will beat Leverkusen and go on to win the EL.
We can beat anyone on our day and with a bit of luck!
Just image beating Liverpool in Klopp's last game with a dodgy penalty... the last 50 years would have been worth it!!!

If City have won the Premier before the last game of season and in champions league final we could nick a draw up there to finish 7th

Just read this article
https://www.hammers.news/news/how-many-points-west-ham-will-likely-need-from-last-8-games-to-win-5-horse-race-for-europe/
It says that we will need to win 4 games to qualify or manage to get 12 points based on the predictions for the other 5 teams involved. That means we need to beat Wolves, Fulham, Palace and Luton, which in reality we should be doing. So the next three games will almost certainly determine our chances of Europe, unless we win the Europa League of course.
