Is there some way both sides can lose? This ought to be another cracking London derby, but I suspect that West Ham just don't have enough up front to put Chelsea to the sword. Say it quietly but Chelsea were probably the better team first half against Tottenham, sure maybe Conte was a bit tardy with his tactical changes in the second half but even with that taken into account they still done okay.
Before the handsome home win against Southampton, Spam had taken some heavy beatings, I'm not really convinced that Moyes has improved the team that much. Chelsea to win by the odd goal.

Chelsea 3 West Ham 2

Not often I want Moyes to get a result but it would be good today. Chelsea missing out on the points (with a loss preferably) would mean being 11 behind with only 1 game in hand. Even though they're still to play us again that would surely mean top 4 is in the bag. Even a draw would mean 10 points with a game in hand and 6 games to play for them and 5 for us. We'd need to seriously fuck up to allow them back into the top 4 mix.

Shame they've just scored. Cnuts. Come on Spam, don't let us down.

 

[Pagnell]

Come on Spam, hold on.

 

[Pagnell]

Cheers Spam. Massive result for Liverpool and Spurs, leaves us breathing space. Surely the top 4 is now wrapped up.

it was wrapped up before this game

More than likely given how they're playing recently. But with us still having to play them and them having a game in hand even after today, had they won and beaten us that would have been just 2 points in it. This makes things more secure.

 

[Abertawe]

as imminent CL winners you need not worry about finishing in the top four

 

[SALTIRE]

Cheers West Ham, always liked ya! Done us a big favour there.

Haven't seen the game yet, just the goals/highlights, A good result for us as I was expecting zero points.

Been in shit form since the beginning of the year, if there was to be a coupon buster that was it.

 

[Pagnell]

They'll still beat us. Fucking guarantee it. That's why this draw is such a great result.

 

[Pickleman1967]

Well ditto to the above, well done West Ham, you actually delivered for once. It would have been handy if you crocked Hazard, we may play Chelsea in the cup final if we get there. Still, not complaining...

We've won at theirs the last two seasons, I wouldn't be so quick to write us off.

 

[Pagnell]

That is why we would lose. Because we're expected not to. It would be just fucking typical.

 

[SALTIRE]

They were lucky to scrape a point at Anfield earlier this season and that's when they were playing much better than they are now. We keep Hazard and Willian quiet, we should get something out the game.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

There's nothing to fear from us. We're not completely awful (been a bit unlucky in a few games), but neither are we very good and we're painfully bad at taking the chances that do come our way. A few of the players (Hazard included) already seem to be on their holidays and our record vs top 6 teams this season is horrible. Comfortable win for Liverpool I reckon.
