With 45 points after 25 Premier League games, it means that West Ham’s Points Per Game (PPG) average is an incredible 1.8 per game.
With just 13 games remaining this would give the Hammers another 23 points and an amazing season total of 68 points.
Last season 68 points would have been enough to earn third place and a Champions League spot.
If we look at the current form this year then West Ham have earned 22 points through 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss since New Years Day.
That gives an improved Points Per Game of 2.44 suggesting that the Hammers could amass another 31 points if they can keep their 2021 form up.
A total of 76 points this season should all but guarantee a Champions League place and would have guaranteed a third-place finish last season.
While this would be unthinkable at the beginning of the season, West Ham players must really believe they have a real chance for qualification of Europe’s richest league.

Can you do the maths of points we have already taken from the teams remaining on our schedule to give us a clue of what to expect in reality?
I’m too lazy…thanks.

So if we replicate results from earlier this season: 21 additional points
we would finish on 66 points
Last season we finished with 39 pts. If we managed to hold out and actually win the games we took the lead in, we would have amassed an additional 24pts. That would have five us a grand total of 63 pts. That would have seen us finish at least 5th (you’d have to deduct the points from those teams we lost those pts from)
Bearing the above in mind and the fact that we have been entirely better at keeping our composure, surely we can dream a little……
It’s unbelievable that we are even considering it, thanks for the post Sean, have to say am not believing it yet, Chelsea are starting to play well, City are flying, Utd will benefit from more dodgy decisions and Leicester are a handful.
