Lets be honest, when we go there tuesday we have nothing to be scared of! They are worst than us at slipping up when they should win, their fans like to give it the big one! But they are seriously fickle and are not happy with Big sam!

 

They are run by Brummie rejects, their mouthpiece is Karen Brady.......say no more, in fact she slagged us ( the fans ) off after we lost at home to Leicester!

 

Lets all go there as one you Saints! Remember James Beattie 90th minute........West Ham, The Firm, Clyde Best, John Lyall, your boys are going to take a hell of a beating!

West Ham have definitely shown they are beatable at home, all the games I've seen of them on TV I don't think they've been particularly impressive. Forest dominated them the other week and could have been 3 or 4 nil up at HT with the chances WHU gifted them. If Forest who are gash can go there and give them a game then I'm pretty sure we can, with the added advantage that if we create chances we should be more clinical.

Only difference I can see is that their fans would have expected an easy win V Forest, so would have been a sh*t atmosphere and they'd have got on their backs from the first misplaced pass.

They'll be much more up for it on Tuesday. We shouldn't underestimate them based on their previous results.

The thing Saints have to fear most in any game, is themselves .... not performing as they can. Play to our potential and we'll be fine. But another 'Bartday' in goal, defenders,midfielders going missing, Guly not fancying it, or forwards trying to over pass and wallk the ball in to the goal and we'll struggle whether its against Doncaster or West Ham.

Exactly this. With our team/squad we should not be scared of anyone - especially if we play like we know we can.

We can beat this lot, as they are not that good, and on their own patch, they are really not all that. West Ham have a huge amount of pressure from the home crowd as they expect nothing more than going back up, and as champions.

 

We are going to win this 2-1

Much more pressure on West Ham for this game.They have not played a top 12 team twice yet this season so have got every top team to play again.We have played 5 of the top half teams twice so have less difficult games than West ham after this one although there is no such thing as an easy game in this league. I definately prefer our fixture list though

To be honest they seem to lose/draw against the lower placed sides and do better against the top half teams , though.

The one thing I don't understand about the West Ham fans is their terrible memories! I found this snippet from Knees Up Mother Brown concerning ours and Reading's challenege to their "god-given" right to the championship:

 

"If he get's us up this year he deserves another couple of seasons. The main problem with us being in this league is that everyone sees us a massive scalp and raises their game. Reading and Southampton (for the first 10 games before they emerged as genuine contenders) don't have to face up to that problem plus the extra pressures."

 

I take it they don't remember the begininng of the season? our unbeaten run that took us to second and then the top within the first few games? we've been here pretty much all season....seriously dellusional.
