Surely their luck has to run out, the game yesterday had accidental clearances off the line, woodwork being hit and a certain penalty not given for blatant handball.I think West Ham will get 7 more points, 4 out of Brentford & Saudi Sportswashing Machine and 3 v Leeds. We’ll need 9. Not looking good.
This is the delusional optimism thread, I wish I really felt as optimistic as my post suggestsMy word. I wish I had even a 10th of the optimism you lot have!
Yeah I only saw the MotD highlights of their game after I posted and it looked like they were really lucky to get away with a win yesterday.Surely their luck has to run out, the game yesterday had accidental clearances off the line, woodwork being hit and a certain penalty not given for blatant handball.
We finish in the bottom three, but Maranakis is convicted of being a gangster, it comes out he blackmailed MGW and threatened his family to not join us, all the money he's spent at Forest was just an elaborate money laundering activity, and he wears a fake beard.
The PL relegate Forest to the Championship for the illegal activity.
And relegate them to Lge One for the beard.
Why are you bringing realism into this Fred?Unfortunatey I think he has cut ties with Forest, at least on paper, to avoid a European qualification headache again in the summer
They don't, they're 8 points clear with 4 games left, so 1 win and two draws is enough. Plus, there's no way Chelsea are winning all 4 games.Villa need 2 wins to get guaranteed CL, shame they didn't get one of them yesterday
But are they really going to go full strength in 4 games in 12 days, doubtful
Depending how the 1st leg goes on Thursday they might have to rest some players for next Sunday

If Chelsea hold out, I wonder when we will play them as we're due to play them the day after the Cup Final
With our current GD advantage, we might even be able to get away with losing at SB (the more likely scenario, let's be honest), as long as other results go as you say. I think a minimum of 7 more points is a hard requirement, though.West Ham’s next three matches are all tricky, and all four of forests are.
We will have a bit of confidence now we have that ‘no win in 2026’ monkey off our back. Villa will be concentrating on europa league and Chelsea are all over the shop
Win both our home games and a point at both villa and Chelsea and that should be enough

West Ham have a good record against the Goons, who themselves don't look great. Saudi Sportswashing Machine are rubbish now and know Howe is a dead man walking. I'm not convinced the Hammers will pick up many points, but i wouldn't say so with any degree of certainty....
Imagine if they lose their last game and us and the Hammers win them all, they could go down !!Must win game for N.ewcastle now
I think it's understandable for people to be pessimistic (albeit not helpful)...as they have been waiting for a run, and it's just not happened.They will not be beating Arsenal or Saudi Sportswashing Machine away.
Also Leeds could get caught napping as could Forest with their fixtures.
I think we are being overly pessimistic with RDZ now coming in and we look better already. And overly optimistic when it comes to the other teams in the scrap.
The truth is we are all brick and down there for some reason and perhaps it’s our turn to go on a run.
So win the rest of our games?Leeds are what 6 points ahead of us? Lose to us and WHam and that goes fast. I think to be safe we need 4 wins, which this squad is capable of with the right conditions and a bit of luck.
Midweek before or after the Saturday finalIf Chelsea hold out, I wonder when we will play them as we're due to play them the day after the Cup Final
