Not sure how your lot are in the relegation zone if you can play like that. Good game and I was far from confident we'd turn it around.
after 56 years watching the Hammers I can tell you that we can manage it quite easily! 
You're too good to go down

Fab, why, of all nights! FFS what could have been if he could just pick up or parry a football.
It would be a miracle if we got out of this, the only chance I can see is that Villa have a horrendous run in and play away to us final game of the season. Their next three games are City, Leicester and Chelsea. They also have Liverpool Man Utd, Wolves, Everton and Arsenal.
That's quite a tough run of games for them but if I can dust of an old cliche, there are no easy games in the Prem It would be a miracle if we got out of this, the only chance I can see is that Villa have a horrendous run in and play away to us final game of the season.

I’ll second that. Please don’t anybody say were too good to go down. That statement is the kiss of death.
West Ham United are too good to go down. Though Southampton will be a difficult game on Saturday, so who knows how things will go. A good effort against Liverpool though
For me there have been too many key moments this season that have doomed us. Its too late to turn it around, I would love to be wrong though.
The amount of times we have given away really soft goals like on Monday night or Martin kicking the ball out to their striker to score then the marginal handball in the same game just throwing points away through poor mental toughness. Just seems too many moments haven't gone our way and quite simply the effort in some games hasn't been good enough. We are just lucky there are so many other terrible teams this year which is still giving us a chance.

Game management throughout the season's been appalling as well. 3-1 up to draw 3-3 is unacceptable, Moyes idiocy in fixed times for subs & constantly making the wrong subs. Pathetic cup performances (again) etc. etc. etc. The amount of times we have given away really soft goals like on Monday night or Martin kicking the ball out to their striker to score then the marginal handball in the same game just throwing points away through poor mental toughness.

Absolutely, I can only assume some players do perform magic in training who continued to get game time. When the likes of Lanzini, Masuaku, Sanchez etc. who are no where near good enough continued to play game after game. The clear and obvious issue of playing Haller up front on his own. The lack of investment of any sort in the defensive area of the field for two years. It's all so bloody obvious but for some reason people at the top get paid a lot of money to make bad decisions and sticking to them.
king rail replacement again (and through all of March) though.
