Bookies have Irons confidence but what about the fans?

The nation’s bookies are offering long odds against the Hammers being relegated with early defeats not denting their confidence at all.

It’s possible to get as long as 15/2 against the drop but what do the fans think. Here’s the response of some at the ClaretandHugh Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/

O No problem at all we will be fine.
17th maybe?
O Will Pellegrini last the season? Good bet two games in and talk of MP going, get a grip.
O I didn’t think we would struggle like we have done in our first two games ahead of the season. We have time but it’s easy to get left behind in this league.
O Still sticking to my original prediction. Seventh.  After 64 years as a fan can’t stop being optimistic now.
I’d be happy with 16th – this is going to be a transition season, change is never easy, massive change is painful and difficult – keep the faith!
O I  have read words like “pivotal” and “critical” used for this week’s fixture with Arsenal,so it would seem that the other 37 games are of less importance.Anyway as I recall did we not lose the first 3 games of last season,albeit away from home?
