If this doesn’t motivate the players for tomorrows match to put in a performance tomorrow, then we deserve to go down!

 

This has happened for the last 4 or 5 weeks whenever some results have gone our way.

 

And we've not capitalised at all.

 

We deserve to go down regardless what has happened in the last few weeks anyway, let alone whatever happens tomorrow. So many bad things this club, staff and players have done throughout the season mean we deserve to go down, not what happens this game week.

Don’t do it to yourself.

Re added time, Pickford claims it’s negotiable with the ref and that he persuaded him to give so many minutes yesterday 

 

Still cracks me up how Nacho ran off when subbed late vs Wolves, we just don’t do it like everyone else

West Ham should sign a player called Long Grain or Jasmine to play beside Rice in midfield. Or maybe Pudding.

 

His Dad's initials are E. F. Rice.

Surely Top could bung the useless gimps 1m each for the starters if they stay up as incentive 

Our match winners stand to lose a lot more if they get injured exerting themselves. Expect another entirely pedestrian performance of faux effort as per the last few weeks. Anything more will be a miracle and a bonus.

If Southampton don't win today, we mathematically can't finish bottom!

This isn't directed at you personally, but this sort of comment really confuses me.

 

Cags has barely played this season, Tielemans has been woeful pretty much all season, and Madders it overrated cats pi55 who hasn't performed at all since the world cup. Barnes for all his contributions can't put a defensive shift in (same as Madders). They are all part of the problem that got us to this point.

 

If (IF!!!) we stay up, we can cash Barnes and Madders and rebuild, and get Tielemans' stupid salary off the books.  Its an opportunity to rid outselves of the deadwood that caused this problem. 

This. 
 

Plus it’s much easier to rebuild on the prem, more financial flex to sort things out. I’d happily see Madders and Barnes go and sell the fringe players to raise some funds.

I swear people think you get deducted points if you lose a game 🤣 it doesn’t matter what everyone else does, we can’t win football matches so it’s irrelevant  

 

We are down, sack Rudkin, lose most thr mercenaries, start again 

[dylanlegend]

So you’re telling me there’s a chance

I’ll remind you if this when we shithouse a win against Newcastle tomorrow. 

[filbertway]

Assuming nothing wild happens on the final day, Everton have somehow survived another year. Couple of guaranteed Friday night games for us with Leeds I imagine.

[kristianity77]

West ham under normal circumstances would batter us.  However, if we come out of the traps flying, going in hard on the 50 50s they will soon back off as none of their players will want to miss a major euro final.  If we go in to that game all guns blazing then I think we would win in by virtue of the fact that all their players interests would lie elsewhere.

 

The problem with that though is that all our players interests lie elsewhere, and has done for months. 

 

Swings and roundabouts.

Results were lets say mixed from our perspective this game week, however they could have been a lot worse in the circumstances.

What

[Les-TA-Jon]

WW = guaranteed stay up

 

WD = stay up if Everton & Leeds both lose or if Everton and Leeds both fail to win 

 

WL = stay up if Everton lose and Leeds fail to win 

 

can someone sense check that? 
 

[MPH]

Win both games and we stay up. It’s totally in our hands.
