Saint Garrett Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 West Ham have an interesting run of games after today: Spurs home Stoke away United home Chelsea away After that they still have Liverpool, City and Everton. And they're not going to get anything from St Mary's !
beatlesaint Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 West Ham have an interesting run of games after today: Spurs home Stoke away United home Chelsea away After that they still have Liverpool, City and Everton. as do Villa with Arsenal and Man City up next. I think we will finish above West Ham. There, I've said it
S-Clarke Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 2 god damn awful teams. Won by the not so god damn awful side.
S-Clarke Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Also, on another note, this result sends QPR even more into the mire.
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Well they couldn't both lose, I suppose. At least they don't have to play each other again and could lose all their remaining matches.
Sheaf Saint Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 We're only 4 points behind them, with a similar goal difference and still got to play them at home. I would say we are definitely competing with them, especially given our recent performances. Correction - make that 3 points behind with an identical GD. We're coming for yooooouuuuuu!
OldNick Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 West Ham are very poor. They are fortunate they had a good start. I assume they will stay up but next season they will struggle unless they change big time
Saint Garrett Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 West Ham are very poor. They are fortunate they had a good start. I assume they will stay up but next season they will struggle unless they change big time Going to have to bring in some quality if they're to stay up next year. They have a few players on short term deals. Carroll, Chamakh, Pogatetz, Cole. Allardyce contract up this summer as well. Will certainly be a summer of change for them whther they stay up or not.
Saint Charlie Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Glad we still have West Ham to play at SMS, lost their last 5 away and only scored 8 away all season.
martin_au Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 very good result, pull wham back into the dogfight. qpr are now seven adrift!
pressingon Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Given the current fascination with horse meat you would have to say Carroll is a complete donkey when compared to our thoroughbred SRL
shurlock Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 The standard of that game would have given the championship a bad name.
Chez Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 (edited) How does fat Sam gets away with saying that his sides are infairly labelled as being long ball merchants? That description is absolutely spot on. They do nothing but smash it long. They simply aren't good enough to pass it. ****ing terrible side. If I wanted to watch long ball I'd watch siunday league for free. I know they tonked us at their place, but bloody hell did they get the rub of the green that day. Really hope we beat them and their ugly sister Stoke in the run in. Edited 10 February, 2013 by Chez
trousers Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Happy with that result - keeps us 3 points from 11th
FloridaMarlin Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Echo all that's been said on here about West Ham. Not just hindsight, but I've said all along we will finish above them. There is always one team that goes into freefall from mid-table and it looks like them. They are one-dimensional, which is typical of Allardyce. They won games earlier in the season by physically bullying teams but the opposition have wise up how to play against them, and Fat Sam does not have a Plan B, unless it is to throw Carlton Cole up front to play alongside Carroll. Judging by the reactions of some of their players today, it wouldn't take much for them to go into meltdown. You just get the feeling it is an uhappy camp both on abd off the pitch. The fans who tolerated BFS while they were winning will turn on him as not playing The West Ham Way. Inside the camp, BFS clearly has his favourites like Nolan, Jaaskelainen, Taylor and other former Bolton accolytes and those players who perceive they are being frozen out by favourtism will spread disaffection. I think it's looking really encouraging.
SaintRobbie Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 I think this is a good result. I am very keen to see Reading relegate as it will send fringe supporters in northern Hants back our way, important if we're going to build a bigger stadium. Still 4 points between us, but even more important it means that we're only one win from mid-table now! Oh how Newcastle away becomes suddenly more important, I'd love to finish above West Ham after all the preseason rubbish about hoe they were better equipped to stay in the Premier League. I think this is a good result... we're less concerned over relegation now and more concerned over a mid-table finish IMHO. Confidence is high.
Saint Garrett Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Happy with that result - keeps us 3 points from 11th Thought you were going for 8th Trousers ?!
SaintBobby Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 I'm telling myself this is a good result. Although I haven't yet persuaded myself we're going to be safe. West Ham are now a general 12/1 to be relegated. About the same odds for Man Utd ;-)
ludgershallsaint Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 We're now closer to 11th than 17th. It was a good result for us.
S-Clarke Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 On another note, what a shame Heitinga wasn't playing for Everton at St Mary's. What a clown of a player he actually is these days. Used to be decentish.
trousers Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Thought you were going for 8th Trousers ?! Yep....gotta get to 11th first though..... #onestepatatimesweetJesus
pressingon Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Echo all that's been said on here about West Ham.There is always one team that goes into freefall from mid-table and it looks like them.QUOTE] Interestingly not only WHU but Fulham, Sunderland, Norwich and Newcastle all on a poor run and looking vunerable. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of those in the bottom three come May.
SNSUN Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 It's still a shame to have started the day 6 points clear of relegation and finish only 4, but at least that drags Reading back into the mire. Wigan, all of a sudden, are looking really vulnerable. QPR are down IMO. West Ham could drop like a stone, and perhaps are the mid-table side most likely to do so. I can see Norwich's team spirit keeping them clear of trouble, and Fulham's little bit of quality too. Newcastle likewise will have no problems now. For us? Hopefully mid-table, but yesterday's win aside, we can't rule out relegation ourselves just yet. Beating Newcastle would calm my fears a LOT.

Olallana Posted 10 February, 2013 Author Posted 10 February, 2013 http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=551&fid=256&sty=2&act=1&mid=2113247555 It appears they haven't got the memo that they are as safe as ManUre from relegation. don´t tell them
Saint Garrett Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 http://www.westhamonline.net/ This makes great reading tonight
Olallana Posted 10 February, 2013 Author Posted 10 February, 2013 West Ham manager Sam Allardyce: From BBC "Apart from the Aston Villa fans, anyone who watched this afternoon knows we deserved something." Stan Collymore @StanCollymore Sam Allardyce "An outstanding performance without anything for it"
Saint Garrett Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Wow.....that is unbelievable. I'd be very worried as a WHU fan if thats all they can muster up to be 'outstanding'!!!
Saintandy666 Posted 10 February, 2013 Posted 10 February, 2013 Happy with that result - keeps us 3 points from 11th But closer to 18th. I honestly don't care about top half or whatever this season, it'd be good, but it's a bonus. I'm more concerned with staying up, something that we still haven't sealed the deal on.
