Hammers survival on cards…..apparently!

|

It’s always a good idea to take these things with a large does of salt as computer predictions on where clubs may of may not finish at the end of the season can be entirely unreliable.

However, it’s always fun – if you are on the right side of them -to read what they have to say and that the latest predicts the Hammers will finish in 17th place gives a bit of heart however we may feel in general terms.

In declaring our fate, the supercomputer reckonsVilla, Watford and Norwich will be relegated as reported in the  Mirror per  footballwebpages.co.uk.

Apparently Watford will finish 19th on 30 points and Villa’s on 18th with 31 points whilst Norwich are doomed, which seems pretty nailed on.

It’s regularly been claimed the Hammers run-in will possibly make the difference between survival and relegation although we have all been supporting this club long enough to know that it’s more than feasible that a couple of surprise wins against the likes of Chelsea, Spurs and maybe, more probably, Arsenal, could be on the cards.

Wednesday night could tell us an awful lot more about our chances – win or lose at the Etihad.

There has to be passion, determination and hopefully at least two or three creative chances moments. Absolutely nothing is out of our hands and as reported earlier, with results going our way over the last few days, let’s hope the build up to the game will bring much positivity from the 12th man too.

We need it big time and with a few political problems affecting City all our fingers are now truly crossed.

    All predictions are predetermined by the underlying assumptions.
    I believe we will not be relegated because the newly acquired players bring better attitude and desire. Competition for starting spots always improves play. Do not know how a computer can quantify that.
