Have to agree to disagree. There is a strong rivalry between those two clubs and Chelsea would like nothing better than to help send Spurs down.

We were long overdue a win against Chelsea but still lost at home to a Rosenior team.
As for Spurs and Hammers, they'll both give it a go in their remaining matches to try and avoid being the team that go down. Chelsea are now in freefall - 6 losses on the bounce - they're easy pickings for the teams yet to face them.
Hammers only need to draw with Arsenal to have a chance of overtaking us on GD. We could take some heavy hits against Citeh and Arsenal and defeats against Everton (very likely after Thursday night's game) and away at Brentford together with a couple of Spammers' wins will soon close the gap in Spammers' favour.
Spurs can easily overcome our GD (Only 3 worse off than ours currently) so they only need to win 2 of their remaining 3 games to catch us.
We have the hardest run in of any PL team.
A win on Sunday against our bogey team will allay all fears but with just 1 win in the league against them in the last 23 attempts, that doesn't look likely. Even when we outplay them (as we did at their new stadium) we still manage to lose.

I believe presently Spurs and Westham both have a couple of wins in them. I just hope it’s not more than two as I don’t see any points for us in our last 4 matches. Westham v Arsenal is the match this weekend that will either mean big trouble for us or safety. Playing this Thursday is great provided we get through to the final as we know what Europe does to clubs like us that then play on a Sunday after. I’m worried big time :-(

Is correct.
We must lose all 4 games - admittedly not unlikely - but West ham must win their last 3 games given the goal difference between us.
Unlikely in the extreme.
And spurs only beat a team due to asymetric recovery time. They are not getting that break for their last 3 games.
Scrape an unlikely draw on Sunday and neither spam nor spud will catch us no matter how well they do.

I think I'm more worried at this point of the season than I've ever been, but should still be fine.
A couple of weeks ago there was a lot of distance, and all of the chat was around there being no way teams dow with us significantly upping their form. But
Leeds have won 11 points in last 5 games
Forrest 13
Spurs have won last 2
West have have picked up a couple of wins
It would be lovely to get some points this weekend and so we can all just relax a little!

I dont think thats going to happen Robbo, Glasner is going to put out the B team again against a very confident Everton because of " Fatigue" and the fact that he doesn't give a flyng duck . Excuse my spelling.
I don't think we'll get any points this weekend. But I don't think West Ham will either and the threat of relegation will be over... For this season.
I can see us finishing 17th though which will be a stark reminder to the decision makers of how much work there is to do in the summer. If we do our usual faffing or keep overspending on fairly average players then we'll be scrapping with the 3 promoted teams to avoid relegation.
Agree, with £3m a place the difference of say 5 places is worth more than our entire European earnings, even if we win it.
Our league form has been pretty woeful for 6 months now and it appears Leeds and now Forest will watch us.
I suspect West Ham will now go down after the weekend results, especially as they have Arsenal at the weekend, however, i'll be surprised if we get more than 1 point for the remainder of the season.
Sunday's performance was unacceptable, but also shows that a number of our squad players are just not Prem quality
