Last time I tried that was Wimbledon...

Time before that was Bournemouth at home. One of the best was Swansea in the penultimate game at UP.

Best if I keep that miserable leer going....

This is a six-pointer - win this and we'll be merely 7 points from mathematical safety.
In March! :raver:

just so long as we don't go into it thinking it will be a walkover, we should win this, i don't care if it's a a big win, i'd be happy with 1-0. Bamba out will help.

Going for our biggest win of the season this game (in the league that is!). 4-1.

I'd start Arnie. He looks hungry when he's come on in the last couple of games, so i think he'll be straight into them if he starts to put them on the back foot from the off. I get the calls for Anderson to have a rest but this could be the kind of game where we see Anderson and Lanzini link up like we've all been dreaming they do.

I'm never confident, but we are long overdue a game where everything clicks, and every shot goes in, and we give someone a hiding.

Will it be against this lot? Who knows?

On paper we are in decent form, they are in dreadful form, we are pushing for 7th they are circling the relegation plughole, we have a top quality manager they have Colin. However we are West Ham and shooting ourselves in the face when we should be kicking on is pretty much our raison d'etre. We've had the chance 3/4 times this season to build on form and make ourselves comfortable in the top half/at least look at a European place as possible and every time we've played a team in this sort of position we've thrown it away.

I don't know what it is about us, but no matter who is in the dugout, who is on the pitch or what else is going on with the club we lose games like this. Rock up believing we've got the points before a ball is kicked and suffer exactly what we deserve after. It's been worse away from the toilet bowl this season as well.

When everything points to a comfortable West Ham win, that's when it goes to ****. We should win, but I just can't see it.

The problem with winning big is that it almost guarantees that we play crap and lose the game after. For that reason, I'm hoping for a 2-1 win

I hope we go there and be professional, didn't Bamba get injured at the weekend? Big loss for them if so, I reckon we'll nick a win.

Earlier in the season we had Newcastle and Cardiff back to back and racked up two impressive wins which was the start of an impressive four game winning run.

Same again please.

We have to go there with the same team and the same tactics as the Newcastle game, hard to justify a change really. I'd be delighted with a solid, professional, non descriptive 2-0 win.

Yes, and Yes.

Left the stadium on crutches after being stretchered off and if it is as bad as feared, he could miss the rest of the season. That said, it will have been far too early for them to tell yesterday and if it is 'just' a muscle pull he could be back in time.

As you say, that would be a huge blow for them. He is their joint top scorer as well as their captain and leader.

He also racked up his 5th booking since boxing day on Saturday. Not sure when the new 'window' for collecting cards started.

Same team as Newcastle (injuries permitting) I think we looked solid in defence and fluid in attack, no need for changes in my eyes.

For the way they play I would love us to quickly rack up a 3-0 lead and then play exhibition stuff, exerting our footballing superiority on them. This would then make them frustrated and resort to what they always do, fouling. It's at this point where I would just absolutely love to see one of ours kick the s**t out of them, I'm sorry but I just don't like their style of play, it angers me that, in 2019, in the top flight, there is a team lumping it up to a big lump masquerading as striker and it's kind of working, it just doesn't feel right.

That was us up until about 12 months ago.
