Which is a pity for such a boring, crappy team - even we trashed them the other week...

Just over 12 hours to go B4 the big game - everyone wish for a West Ham victory...

Enter the AD-FREE zone

I hope West Ham stay up. They do play attractive football and they have one of the better team songs. Manchester United and their supporters are a pack of glory hunting ****ers. The Arse are clearly the lesser of two evils (unless you're a Spurs supporter, and who in their right mind would be?).

This season turned out pretty well for me: Newcastle played well and look to be improving each year and Sunderland were relegated.

Sunderland were relegated!

I did hope in my wildest dreams that Newcastle could simultaneously win the league and relegate Sunderland when they play in a few weeks (I think it's at the Stadium of Shite too, even better )

Yes, but none of those have blatantly racist overtones...

As a Fenerbahce fan, I like seeing Jay Jay get a goal, but the Hammers have left themselves a mountain to climb.

I see Crystal Palace and Gillingham have finished the first division with another season of mid-table mediocrity. Well done lads, us fans can't stomach the stress of nail biting relegation/promotion battles.

Hope the Hammers stay up. They have been in the premiership since at least 85? Longer?

I wanted to see them play the first time I went to London. (The decision was influenced by a hot NZ bird who ran the local coin-op laundramat and was a West Ham supporter. ) Unfortunately West Ham were away that weekend, so I went to see Arsenal instead.

yeah 2-0 to arsenal away from home today at middlesbrough shame about united winning at blackburn, but you can't have everything.

congrats to liverpool for winning the mersey derby. i wouldn't laugh too loudly btw FP, spurs losing 2-0 at home to man city yesterday

i'm tempted to say west ham have had it, they really need to win all their last 4 games, which is a hell of a task.

Well we're well and truly screwed now...

Not only did we lost, which was a very, very, very bad thing to do but ALL the other teams we were hoping to catch won as well...:cry:

Aaaaargh!

And the worst bit of poetic justice will be watching 'Arry Redknapp's Portsmouth get promoted as we slide into obscurity in the opposite direction - WAAAAAH!:cry:

Leeds will be in division one next season anyway as they are going into administration. That makes a team drop a division. get relegated? Then they'll be in division two as a result.

It's like being bankrupt, as their finances go down the proverbial toilet - they have up to £80 million in debt IIRC...

The pressure to succeed in the Premiership is so huge that clubs have been paying astronomical sums such as £30m just to buy a player - not including his wage, which are easily £40k/wk these days.

Too many clubs walk a financial tightrope of barely balancing the books and if you're not successful enough (Cup competitions & European football etc) you can't cover the costs of failure.

When West Ham go down at the end of the season, it will cost us about £15m in lost TV rights - we will have to sell some of our best players just to stay afloat.

Hopefully Leeds are in as bad sh*te as Nimmy says and maybe we might stay up after all with this precedent...
