It's going to be a big big weekend each weekend until the end of the season.

Pointless looking at other fixtures, win our games and other results don't matter

Not really pointless is it? When the reality is that we've won just 1 in every 4 games played in the Premier League.
So I'd suggest looking at other results is probably quite sensible / interesting.

We win, job done, don't give a s**t what else happens and yes I have had too much beer on a Wednesday night.

Hughes may not agree but I feel that the players minds will be more focused on the following Saturdays cup semi final against Chelsea.

My punt is they will do what we did ..reach a cup final but get relegated

It's 9.30pm Wednesday here and I have been in the pub since 5pm.

It does feel like a big weekend. By the end of it we could almost be clear of relegation or very much back in it.

My personal feeling is that it is now a shootout for the third relegation place between us and Southampton. If we match or better Southampton's result this Saturday I feel we will be safe.

For those worried about Stoke, did you know they've only won one game since Lambert took over in mid January and that was against Huddersfield? They're gone.

Southampton & Chelsea players will be fighting for semi-final final places so I don't think it will be an 'after you Claude' type of game.

I'm going Chelsea 3-0

I agree. Not that they focus on the cup game but that players look to avoid injury and suspension before the semi final match.

I recall speaking with some of the Millwall players in the year they went to the FA Cup Final in 2004. A couple of them freely admitted they were close to suspensions and risked missing the Cup Final, that they took their eye off the play offs that year

The only team in the bottom three that I can think that may save themselves is Stoke and that is marginal. Even if Southampton pulled off a shock win I still can't see them getting enough points. I just can't. If Albion go down we will have no excuses because we've had enough chances to be well clear now (Hudds, Stoke, Saints at home - wasn't here for Everton; West Brom and Watford away)

I agree with your post on the 'missed opportunities' but at the same time there is no such thing as a perfect season. All clubs can point to many games where they could/should have had more points. Even in our promotion season last season you could point to many games like Forest away etc where we didn't turn up. Look at the positives - our wins at home against the likes of Swansea and W Ham were pivotal. Our denying Hudds winning on Sat could end up being a great result, all things considered...

West Brom have it all to do to avoid relegation.

Amazing really that we've only won 1 game of our 9 against the current bottom 5. Sounds very poor - but make it 2 in 10 on Saturday and we should be good.

Lies, damn lies and statistics. It's all about the spin.

You could say that against the 7 teams below us, we've only lost twice in 13 games. P13 W5 D6 L2 F20 A13 Pts 21

Southampton lose. Good start.

Forget wanting a West Ham v Stoke draw.

It is now the time in the season where we plant the flag and declare for every game losses for Southampton and Stoke ( and also Huddersfield ).


Come on West Ham.
