Hammers turn to the real God

Having been forsaken by the Gods of football for most of the season, Hammers fans bave returned in their droves to the one and only true God. The deal is simple today, we must win and St David of Moysie must vanquish the evil Spursian serpents.

Anything else and West ham will be thrust into the hellish fires of the Chumpionship. There was an unusually frosty atmosphere at the airport this morning as Hammers, Spuds and Gooners congregated afore the day of reckoning. 

There will be some sad heads at Stansted tonight as fans return home, in some cases to reflect upon a dismal season and the inevitable fire sale that awaits during the Summer.

With £100m debt, the Hammers have already squandered any potential parachute payments. We are 6 to 1 against to survive but....

Whatever else, we simply have to get behind the team and ensure we complete our half of the equation.

For those wishing to call upon the intercession of God, St. Rita of Cascia, St. Jude Thaddeus, St. Philomena, and St. Gregory Thaumaturgusare all known for their kindness on behalf of impossible causes.

COYI!!!

   

COMETH THE HOUR!

 

Cometh the hour…

West ham are truly at the hour of reckoning as they travel to Newcastle today knowing that anything less than a win will give Tottenham a chance to seal the Hammers relegation against Chelsea on Tuesday night.

After last week's VAR fiasco, the Hammers may well feel that they are due a dig out from the Gods of football, but sadly , that isn't how it always works , and they're going to have to dig deep to pull off a sensational victory away at the Magpies.

While it's quite possible that Tottenham could lose their final two games, meaning that a win next week at home to Leeds would keep West Ham up, the reality is that if Tottenham get a point then the goal difference situation is such that West Ham will need two results, including at least a point today against Newcastle.

In good news, Anthony Gordon will not be featuring for the Magpies, which should allow Aaron Wan Bissaka the freedom to push forward. While Kieron Trippier at right back for Newcastle may well struggle if Crystantio Summerville is in the kind of form he showed last week against Arsenal.

A big question for Nuno will be how to use Callum Wilson today? In a bold move, he could play him from the start, but in all likelihood will hold him on the bench and bring him on for the final 15 minutes to face his former employers.

It’s tense right now. 

So very tense…

COYI!!!
