Leicester yesterday want the owners and the managers out conveniently forgetting the last few years have been some distance the best in their entire history.
Everton well because they are Everton have a devine right to be in the PL
Chelsea and Liverpool should be winning the Champions League, should have formed that Superleague when they had a chance.

It’s totally out of control. Fans seem to forget that the whole idea of a competition is that you win some you lose some. Really hope we dont ever get like that although to be honest Im certain we will.

We were the championship equivalent for about 15 years! Everyone always expected to be challenging for promotion despite having largely poor teams and not having the same financial advantages the relegated teams had.

In fairness to Leicester they have bought barely anyone for the last few windows whilst gradually selling their best players and the others getting old. You could definitely argue where their prem millions have gone. Particularly when you see every other club spending 100m a season

Didnt they build a £180m training centre? That'll be a nice facility to have in the championship.

Spence not even on the bench today for Spurs, is he injured?

Don't think so. 

I wonder if he's regretting being so set on moving to Spurs now and not staying with us. Yes they've got a stadium and resources we can only dream of, but he's not playing. Surely that should be more important to him. But if it isn't and he's happy then it's probably best we didn't sign him.

Ironic that we've found someone even better who was also rejected by Spurs.

Just looking at some of the upcoming fixtures. West Ham's next five games are:

Everton (H)
Newcastle (A)
Chelsea (H)
Spurs (A)
Forest (H)

If they fail to beat Everton and us they could end up in massive trouble.

Wouldn't be surprised if Moyes ends up back at Everton, think that'd be good for them though. They still have a very good team on paper but the longer it goes on...

I have more hope for Leicester staying down there after watching Sat, if Maddison stays out.

Palace play Man U this midweek. If they lose that they're only two points ahead of us having played the same number of games.

The more clubs get involved at the bottom the better.

It would be a bonus too if they could injure Rashford for a month.

Palace also have a really tough run over the next 8/9 games. They aren’t out of the woods at all.

I was looking at the Palace fixtures and they don’t face anyone below them till April

Obviously want to keep them involved, if Zaha went I'd have much more hope on them getting dragged in.
