West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

I reckon Maranakis tried to go to sleep last night. Had visions of big Soucek standing over him. Traore under his bed. Left him no choice.

Nottingham Forest have opened talks with former Wolves boss Vitor Pereira after Sean Dyche was sacked following just 114 days in charge.

Looking at our remains games, I think we might need at least one big result against a “major” side, even taking account of our better form.

We’ve got potentially winnable/points games against Bournemouth, Fulham, Wolves, Palace, Everton, Brentford and Leeds etc. There are points in there, of course.

But we won’t win them all and I still think we’ll need a big result against one of Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City or Villa.

We’re a much-improved side compared with Potterball. But it’s still going to be nerve-wracking stuff.

[Takashi Miike]

I'd love to have listened to Clough talking about the obese greek cսnt, he had very little time for shit chairmen/owners

[Manuel]

Clearly we want to beat B'mouth, but if it's a draw and Forest lose to Liverpool it won't be the end of the world.

[goose]

Forest weren’t losing many games, just lots of draws.
Looks like a real panic move to me.

[Rossal]

Forest sacking Dyche is good news. Their form wasn't that bad. It creates chaos there and who is going to want to work for that nutcase. 

We've gained on Spurs, Brighton, Palace midweek.    All focus on Bournemouth now, that is the latest 12 pointer for us. Their second in the form table so another Man Utd performance needed. 

[Tomshardware]

I think Spurs and Forest sacking their managers will help us. This instability will not help them. 

True, there's no guarantee that getting new managers in now will give them a boost.   Forest are looking for their 4th manager this season, must be some sort of record?

[Fauxstralian]

Understand Forest won 6 & drew 4 out of 18 under Dyche
They had 35 shots last night & couldn’t score. Is that the managers fault?
Nuno Ange Dyche … 4th manager of the season incoming

Blind panic from the Fat Greek

Our revival is scaring the shit out of those above us.

Back to Spurzzz, please go for Heitinga till the end of the season 5/2 with the Bookies as one of the favourites..

Wishful thinking but they won't go down. Looks like a caretaker with Pochettino back after Trump's world cup.

Just watched their highlights. Very little wrong with how they performed bar a few snatched opportunities by players who are clearly understandably feeling the pressure. The en masse booing from the Forest fans at the end of a 0-0 draw even against Wolves is ridiculous with well over 30 attempts at goal, 8 on target with 8 corners. I see little to justify that Marinakis levels of delusion thinking they should be doing so much better than the shit he walked in to from Postenoclues shocking short-lived stint. Dyche would have likely kept them up as he did well for them in a short space of time.

All I can say is thanks for the timely gift Marinakis you thick fat twat.

I thought Forest looked ok against Wolves, peppered the goal but just one of those games that nothing went in! Against Leeds they were shit first half, then 2nd half all a bit too late, bit like us a good few time TBH .

This sacking has given me bit of belief for us TBH, just hope we don't see a new manager bounce and it's more like the arrival of Ange and they are shit, Dyche did have habit of pulling one out of the bag when it mattered, hes maybe not top draw but he knows how to keep team up and that's often why he's hired by clubs, so this is an unexpected move from the Greek, he is really rolling the dice IMO.

Forest have the Europa and again Dyche managed to get them back on track in that comp, yet he's now fired

[Manuel]

Say what you want about the fat Greek at Forest, but he's got balls, first Nuno, then his best mate Ange now Dyche.

I just hope the turmoil has a very negative impact, Forest have only taken a point from there last 3 games, all of which are going to be the easier games they have in the run in and let's be honest they are OUR only hope of being a bit more shit than us by seasons end and seeing us escape by the skin of our teeth. 

Rumour is that he is looking at Vitor Pereira, who got the sack from Wolves earlier this season, fingers crossed on that and he replicates what he did at Wolves..............

To a point I'd agree that he doesn't just sit on his hands and sacking Ange was the right call due to results and more so because the fans had turned on him, but this seems to be a mistake, Dyche had a 40% win ratio and knows the PL and how to survive. This could be very good news for us.

Stupidity more like to burn through a ton of money which is likely to cost him a lot more should they go down by these relentless changes. Eventually that shit catches up with you.

38 game seasons evens itself out. We would have to look closer to home for blame both in the Board and in the dressing room before pinning it on questionable injury time. Not saying it looked right, just making the point we have put ourselves in this mess all of our own doing in the League.

[Manuel]

If we go down by a point or two there is going to be a lot of anger and regret around - or will the ''you finish where you deserve to finish after 38 games'' still hold up?

[onsideman]

Who was it that said the average added time is six or seven minutes well all the games so far tonight it's been three or four with one match five.
The seven minutes in our match was obscene 

Agreed. There were 7 minutes at the Sunderland v Scouse game but that was as a result of the very lengthy injury to Endo, requiring a team of medics, a stretcher and a fucking oxygen tank. 7 at our game was nonsense

[Alfs]

Poor old Dyche.  3 million quid for 18 weeks work.  Forest could become the next Watford under the Fat Greek.

[twoleftfeet]

Where are all the posters who were bemoaning the fact we didn’t appoint Dyche? They’ve gone very quiet.

[Massive Attack]

Is that fat Greek yoghurt for brains thick or what??

Fancy sacking a new manager back in October with a 40% win ratio!

25 games in charge 10 wins, 6 draws 9 losses. You aint getting anyone in doing a better job than that with only 12 games to go. Only lose once in their last 6 matches whilst beating us away, picking up a point against Arsenal as well as smash Ferenvaros 4-0 in Europe.

They should have toughed out the run of late whilst taking in to consideration the huge pressure the Club is under to survive especially with a ridiculous Owner who goes through managers like he does 10 gyros a day.

Done us a huge favour there losing his nerve. 

[Manuel]

Forest and Spurs have European obligations, that might well give us the edge.

We do have the FA Cup, probably at least 2 more rounds

Yea but the FA Cup is at the weekends, not sandwiched in-between games.

I think the Greek has taken a big gamble sacking ginger, apparently they had 35 shots, 10 on target last night, so it's not as if they played shit. I would not be shocked if they fucked up the new appointment. BFS??
