West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[stubbo-admin]

18 points lost from winning positions. That is what will send us down. 

[nychammer]

Hopefully thats Leed's confidence blown to shit now.

they held their nerve when it mattered unlike us

Mateta pulling a Paqueta and refusing to play for Palace this weekend. That’s great news. Especially if Larsen doesn’t end up joining. A highly disgruntled striker stuck at the club is good for us. Even better if they have to sell him and cannot replace him.

Forrest has two Europa Cup play-off games to play in February

Meteta to Forrest? is in the news 

Wrong Thread

Which one? "Kevin Keane" or "Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread"

LOL

Sir Alf is on a wind-up for sure

[onsideman]

Mateta wants to leave Palace

Yes he does. It's a shame they are replacing a malcontent with someone who wants to be there and probably has a point to prove. However it's likely a downgrade and Strand Larsen could have just been a one season wonder. Cue 10 goals during the remainder of the season now

They both (Strand Larsen & Mateta) have purple patches but neither are better than a one in three/four. I guess that's all £50m gets you these days

[Mad Ferret]

He's a proper boring cսnt.

[Fortunes Hiding]

Fook me. Alf is a miserable git. And just repeats everything!

[Mad Ferret]

Hardly news that you think we'll go down, is it?

[Sir Alf]

If we dont strengthen our defence / our ability to defend we go down imo.

Sullivan has all but confirmed we wont be strengthening the CB area and that no players wantvto come to West Ham which really means he has no intention of spending any money this window. The sale of Paqueta and Guilherme has paid for Taty and Pablo. We’ve yet again, materially reduced the wage bill. Sullivan is in full cost cutting mode the only thing he knows how to do.

We get relegated as a result imo

Very true, I am relieved we did not buy him

[Mad Ferret]

I hope he has an instant impact for Palace and scores their winner against Forest. I just don't see Palace going down and would rather concentrate on Forest remaining on what they have, especially when we have Chelsea away next. Forest pull away with a win then we will be in even more trouble.

Forest are also on a nice unbeaten run themselves in their last 3 and need that momentum coming to a sudden stop for a bit. 

You absolute clown.

Both are catchable, both are still in Europe. We need a draw.

Leeds and Forest are our realistic chances of getting out of this, not the likes of Palace hardly getting many more points with the 28 they already have.

Strand Larsen seemingly on his way to Palace.
Mateta leaving I guess

That's a bit of a shame actually as it'll lift the spirits of the club a little bit. Was hoping they wouldn't sign anyone.

[Manuel]

But it rarely works out that way. At the bottom, the bigger teams suddenly find a second wind, while those overachieving fall away. 

That's what I'm hoping happens with Leeds. Not over-confident though.

Since Christmas we have conceded another ten goals in six league games thus our deplorable defending more or less continues. And judging by this window continues unaddressed. 

We remain the third most likely team to go down.

How costly might that home defeat to Forest turn out to be?

Yes, you would think that if he's the football genius he claims to be that Sullivan would see it's far easier and now cheaper given relative investment levels to win games 1-0 or even get a point 0-0 by shoring up the defence and avoid having to try and score at least 2 or 3 goals every game to get a win.
