Ours is tougher though Alan as we have the idiot Moyes running the show

We also manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on a regular basis while those around us somehow manage to beat Man City when we usually ship 5 to them (and that is even when we're not in the s**t)

they all have winnable fixtures before the run in.
our "winnable" game is southampton at home, who have a great away record and look a much better team than us.

Love the optimism Alan but we have seen this many times in a relegation season, hoping the sides around us have an equally bad time or worse so we somehow manage to stay up, hasn't happened in my West Ham supporting lifetime.

So you're saying that every club has to play every other club?
Cheers for the update

The problem is we are now in the bottom 3 (finally) and we still have the toughest run of fixtures over the next 6-7 weeks. The hardest challenge in a relegation battle is playing catch up, and that is very likely what we are going to have to do.

Should be worried where our next points are coming from rather than where other teams might drop points... this has Moyles written all over it....

Thats exactly what i've been saying, I think we all expect to be in the bottom 3 come the last 5 fixtures, which are obvious opportunities to pick up points, but we really cant be more than 5 points behind the 17th placed team, catching up 5 points in just 5 games is hard enough but 7-8 points behind and its curtains.

It'll all come down to the Villa game, last match of the season, victor stays up. Shit or Bust.
...and we'll stay up...just

its always about if we can get enough points......judging the team since our unbeaten run start of the season id say no.
Going into the bottom 3 before playing City and Liverpool away is whats done us. Confidence might be on the floor when we play Soton.....along with our GD

maybe we've played a blinder here. enlist the most soul destroying wretch of a manager to take on a stretch of difficult fixtures, then bin him off just as the six pointers come into view and hope that the sheer jubilation of not having to put up with the cunt anymore sees us go on a run just when we need it.

On paper our next 7 fixtures are by far the toughest of the teams involved in the relegation battle. If results go the way most people would predict then we will be adrift at the bottom when those fixtures are complete.
If we are no more than 6 points adrift then I reckon we will claw it back.....just.

It’ll go to the last games won’t it.
And it is going to get a lot worse before we start to improve.
Squeaky bum time.
We will stay up though, I convinced!

Which club can keep clean sheets - that's going to be the key.

Re: Not just us with a tough run in

It’s pretty irrelevant because by the time we ‘might’ win a game we’re likely to be about 6/7 points away from 17th. To even stand a chance we need to win 6 games ideally and unfortunately one of them need to be in the next 2 which we all know isn’t gonna be the case.
