Aston Villa just scored. 1-0. Sheffield not abt to leapfrog Fullham yet.

SumOne SG

Must really admire West Ham's fighting spirit, in spite of everything that's happening (including off-pitch), they are doing everything they can to stay in top flight. Tevez in particular.

Westham 2 - Bolton 0 now, both goals by Tevez.

im sorry we have a stickied thread on this week’s epl. contd dicussion there

zocoss SG

I think Nvm lah, that one more for predictions. This one got a subject anyway… The relegation battle.

I sure din see any other West Ham vs Bolton thread around. Perhaps you ought to link us to it before closing the thread down.

Anyway, west ham playing so surprisingly well and Bolton defense is surprisingly bad.

I think now West Ham fate depends if Man Utd wan to give them chance next week Very Happy

SumOne SG

Too much internal trouble at the start. The arrival of the two Argentinians unsettled the dressing room, manager troubles.....

But now you can see the team is really working together having settled their internal troubles. This despite a possigle legal suit hanging over their head.

One thing is I always felt Alan Curbishley was a good manager.

SumOne SG

Don't think Man U would, no ties between them like manager is former player or something like that. At most Man U throw in fringe players because there's a chance title is wrapped up by then. But if Chelsea wins, it's a very different story.

But fielding fringe players in itself is a danger for West Ham, because they may want to prove themselves. Still, it'd be better than facing a Man U squad that needs the match in win the EPL title.

West Ham would probably prefer if Arsenal won.

Ya. If Man Utd have to beat West Ham to secure the title then West Ham will be in a very precarious position.

They must be secretly cheering Arsenal tmr. Laughing

SumOne SG

All these teams should let their football do the talkng instead of thinking about legal tussles. Then again, it's the board that looks into this kind of thing.

Sultans Of Swing SG

Bolton def is looking precariously brittle, y did Big Sam quit man?? Evil or Very Mad

and West Ham, on their day, is one of the most entertaining sides in the EPL to watch.... who can ever forget their FA Cup Final wif Liverpool last year??
One of the most exciting ever!!! Surprised

zocoss SG

I think they win this game they are safe already... 38 points could be good enough i think unless Fulham and Wigan manage to win their last match... since wigan goal difference better than WH.

Their last game of this season...

Middlesbrough v Fulham

Sheffield United v Wigan Athletic

Manchester United v West Ham United

Liverpool v Charlton Athletic

zocoss SG

Err... is this the same Bolton the drew with chelsea at Stamford Bridge last week?

West Ham 3 - 0 Bolton Shocked

West Ham and Charlton have it tough, but then again, their respective opponents may not even need the points by that time.

zocoss SG

Fulham 1 - 0 Liverpool

Wow Fulham... still got chance to stay up. Mr. Green

zocoss SG

Strangely, all the teams fighting from the drop play thier last game away…

SumOne SG

I think I will go and see the table again after the match is over.

zocoss SG

Roughly... WH should be out of bottom 3 now.

15 Sheff Utd 36 =38
16 Fulham 37 =39
17 West Ham 37 =38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18 Wigan 37 =35
19 Charlton 36 = 33
20 Watford 37 =27

SumOne SG

A draw for Charlton and they're done for, whereas a draw may do Sheff Utd just fine. Especially since they're last match is against Wigan and all they need to do is make sure they don't lose.

Btw, Fullham should be above West Ham according to latest points, easier to see that way.
