Less of the random “come on relegation rival” nonsense. Here’s hoping the Hammers spank Newcastle.

West Ham down to ten men and Newcastle 1-0 up

I was disappointed with the way we handled ASM last week but West Ham are having the same problems, they don't know how to stop him legally.

Unbelievable. Comedy of errors from West Ham. Newscaster will win now.

Looks like WHU have an under strength starting 11 and now down to 10

Making me feel a bit better about our efforts now.

we're going to get relegated aren't we.

2-0 and awful goalkeeping from Fabianski. Two shocking goals to concede.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 1:13 pm

2-0 down, another defensive howler!!

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 1:14 pm

I hope that West Ham play like this against us.

No. And nothing happening at Newcastle is changing that.

At the other end of the table I suspect West Ham will struggle to get close to the top four now.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 1:16 pm

It's pretty irrelevent TBH. Newcastle aren't getting relegated, it's West Brom and Fulham we have to worry about, if we can't stay above them we deserve to go down. And I'll be worried if Fulham beat Arsenal tomorrow.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 1:17 pm

Few more twists and turns yet, but for me it sadly all hinges on Fulham . Will they continue their bad form or will they grind out a few results

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 1:17 pm

Looks like Newcastle will be well clear of the drop by the time the final fixtures come around taking all the pressure off them for the final game at Fulham.

If we lose to Utd and Fulham, they'll only be 4 points behind. That's not a lot!

If Newcastle players are already on the beach by the time they travel to Fulham it could turn out to be just 1 point.

WBA are only two points behind Fulham with a game in hand, and showing better form.

Really thought they'd stuff Newcastle today.
Biggest final few league games in years for West Ham up there and, they're crap.

Bad start to the weekend’s football. You can never rely on Dawson to be of any help.

Which has nothing to do with Newcastle beating West Ham. And I don’t think relegation will be decided on two of our remaining seven games. If we lose to United and Fulham any points difference between us will be based on a lot of other results.

The likes of Newcastle, WBA were bound to pick up results. Similar to Fulham after Xmas, always been down to us. Right now, we are in one of our usual troughs...but fully expect 2 more wins.

In reality West Ham were never going to finish in the top four.

Over the years when our backs are against the wall Dyches Burnley have always delivered, and I expect the same this time

Would have liked them to have kept their pipe dreams alive by winning today though.

Does anybody have an idea how many games Dawson will miss?

huw.Y.WattfromWare · Post by **huw.Y.WattfromWare** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 1:49 pm

Swansea 2 down at home to Wycombe. Stays that way and Norwich need a point tonight for promotion. Swans have gone stale at the wrong end of the season.

Thought their next game was against us but on checking it's not, they play Chelsea next. So, unfortunately, he will be okay to play at TM. He quite likes playing us.

And to think it's only a couple of weeks ago that a good few on this board were hoping for a Fulham win against Wolves. !!!!!!!
Fulham score a last minute goal to win that game1-0 -rather than the other way round and our position would now be perilous.
A point at Fulham might do the job for us, but for the moment I'm really grateful for that late Traore goal.
If it comes down to goal difference, then we are almost certain to be 2nd best to Fulham, but ahead of WBA.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 2:04 pm

West Ham pulled one back

Mags have reverted to their usual crap game. Since Christmas, they've been the league's worst!

Conversely, Wycombe have put up a right effort the last month or so. Unfortunately, it looks to just be a little too late but they've done incredibly well after a poor start.

Its a pen and werent we denied one for the exact same thing on Ben Mee a few games ago? I forget the exact game.
