The official EPL relegation battle thread

[voetballiefhebb]

We won't stay up. I have said if we do I am going to shave my pubes off.

To be honest, we lose some good players, I still have a club to support, we still have a stadium, and if we do go down and lose the players, then we will be competing against teams who are equal to us. Cheaper tickets and kits and so on. We've been in the Premiership ever since it was formed, time to hand it over to somebody else.

I am living the downs of fotoball. I have seen the downside, and believe me, it's not nice. Especially when you are surrounded by glory hunters who support Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U and think they know all about them, yet they are pretty uninformed and don't even live within 50 miles of Liverpool, London, or Manchester. That is pretty disgusting. However, when we do win something, deep down, it will be very special indeed.

why do people have all this love for West Ham?
And I don't want to hear about their past players, this is the 21st century.
Let them rot in the Nationwide!!!

And for those who think they are going to have all their players sold, eh eh, it ain't gonna happen.

No team, save those newly promoted wants Joe Cole, and he'll probably stay because they couldn't pay him enough.

Kanoute is their most talented player, and even though I have said for months that Arsenal should get him, eh eh, he is going to want high wages and he doesn't deserve it.

Which leaves James, who once again has proven the critics wrong, he has been their most productive player this late season, but no one wants him.

Bolton aren't exactly the most loved team either, but, let West Ham go, I for one am sick of them.

i was really hoping it was Fulham that would've gone down (Newcatsle and Everton losses put paid to that),they were a disgrace and don't even operate like a Premiership club,they should've been spending the next season in the nationwide trying to get their act together.
I hope Middlesborough beat Bolton or at least draw and dont let that Fair Plat award get in the way....COME ON HAMMERS!!!!!

Hey Anti,the Premiership won't be the same without West Ham or the clubs that are always inconsistent..I know you probably hate West Ham etc,but wouldn't you like the game to be somewhat unpredictable at times?..like high flying Arsenal happening to visit upton Park and get stunned 3-0 on any given day..i sure would..its true they had a bad season but they really ain't a bad side at all.
I know you're an Arsenal fan,me too but I don;t think you have a case in berating them and their players,just cause you probably don't appreciate their style of playing.

nope, I like West Ham.
I just don't get why people feel they have more of a right to EPL status than Bolton.
To me they don't play any more attractively than Bolton, so it's not like they add style points to the Premiership.

In fact I dislike Bolton because of their manager's comments prior to the Arsenal game and the fact that the referee got played.

But let West Ham rot in the Nationwide.
Most of their fans have spent the entire season chomping on their Manager, their Board, their players, so let them chill in the 1st division to appreciate the privilege of playing EPL football.

I was hoping West Ham were going to stay up, but now after Steve Bruce refreshed my memory of that game of Sky Sports many years ago... I had a change of heart...

You cant blame Bruce for feeling this way...

 

[antithesis]

yeah but, when will Bruce shed his ManU clothes?

Geeez.

Thank you for posting Digitarius.

It seems everyone is wanking over the boring half of the table (top) and the interesting half (bottom) is being knocked down by "Even though I live in Australia, I support Man U because they win a lot " posts.

I honestly can't see us staying up.

I diddn't support man u cause they win , butcause they have great players. BTW More people in aus go for liverpool

You've got to be joking. The two most supported sides are Man U and Arsenal, then Leeds and Liverpool. 3 years ago, Leeds would have had more supporters than Arse, but look at what success and failure does.

I'm one of about 3 West Ham fans..
