City aren’t great

City playing at walking pace. Saving themselves for Madrid second leg perhaps. Halaand anonymous, as he's been for weeks.

 

[elyid]

That is a crazy stat

So if both teams did this, the ball would only be in play for 30 minutes

Look how COMPACT West Ham are. Absolutely NO spaces when defending, very resolute and organized. It is not difficult to do that, it simply requires some f**king fortitude and simple yet direct and confident messaging.

The camera angle in Pikey Park is annoying

Even if they win it won't be enough to save them from relegation when the 60 point deduction and automatic relegation is delivered at the end of the season!!!!!!!

Bets on Traore scoring a winner???

It might save us from relegation

Some coaching and attitude

 

[thfcsteff]

IF City can somehow win this, it would be a huge blow for West Ham who frankly deserve at least a point. I mean, they have been so much better than us for weeks, we have been probably as brick as I remember for 40 years, yet we would still be above them.
Madness.
It is the ONE thing which gives me hope, that we surely cannot...I'll stop...

I don’t think West Ham are going down, folks. More chance of Leeds fading.

Leeds are the ones
And Forest have struggled to get the points their performances have looked like deserving
But if we don’t somehow turn the corner

 

[Seedy Ron]

Michael Oliver presumably doesn't referee in the Championship? I've suddenly found an upside.

 

[hashegotthesackyet?]
