Well, they’re a t’riffic set of lads I’m sure.

Nah, they are down to the bare bones and no window opening soon
Pardew back to the SAINTS
Sacked this evening
Not much time for the next manager to get to know the players and get his ideas across.
For some reason, I've not been considering them as a team to go down. I did, however, see them as a team West Ham could get something from.
West Ham's remaining fixtures are:
Man U (h)
Southampton (h)
Chelsea (a)
Stoke (h)
Arsenal (a)
Man C (h)
Leicester (a)
Everton (h)
They'd be looking at Southampton, Stoke and Everton (on account of Everton's poor away form) as games from which they could get points. Take southampton off the table because of the new manager bounce, and that leaves Stoke and Everton. Stoke won't be easy.
So if a new manager bounce does materialise, it could help condemn West Ham down.
Though to be honest, I'm not sure I think it will have much impact on us. Southampton's remaining games include some tough ones a new manager bounce might not be enough to win and other games that mean other bottom 9 teams could lose points:
Swansea (a)
West Ham (a)
Arsenal (a)
Chelsea (h)
Leicester (a)
Bournemouth (h)
Everton (a)
Man C (h)
Sammy Lee to step up?
