West Ham v. Swansea Today - 12:45pm Here's some stats I've just worked out, which I'm going to cunningly disguise as a match thread. Premier League results against the top 9 clubs Played 12 Won 1......(Newcastle) Drawn 1...(Liverpool) Lost 10 Points Gained=4 Premier League results against the bottom 11 clubs Played 11 Won 5 Drawn 5 Lost 1.......(Cardiff) Points Gained=20 So, on this basis, I think today a win or a draw is on the cards. I'm going for 1-1. And as West Ham play at the Boleyn Ground, I say.....OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
At no extra cost to our friends in the relegation spots, here are their stats: Cardiff City Top 9 W1, D2, L9 = 5 pts. Bottom 11 W3, D4, L4 = 13 pts Fulham Top 9 W0, D0, L10 = 0 pts. Bottom 11 W6, D1, L6 = 19 pts Fulham have yet to take a single point off the top 9 teams and have lost 6 games to sides in the bottom11. West Ham Top 9 W1, D2, L7 = 5 pts. Bottom 11 W3, D5, L5 = 14 pts I would suggest the reason we're 11th and not 18th is our strong record against the bottom 11, i.e. we only lost one game to our fellow strugglers.
Critical game in our semi easy run of games . Take all 3 points here and the rest of the games will flow imo . I also think a 2-1 outcome in our favor . Very nervous though , hoping Dyer and Routledge start .
Tremmel, Tiendalli, Chico, Williams (c), Davies, Amat, de Guzman, Shelvey, Dyer, Routledge, Bony SUBS: Cornell, Rangel, Britton, Pozuelo, Lamah, Hernandez, Ngog
I guess ML is counteracting the aerial threat by playing Amat in front of Williams & Chico, hence Britton to the bench?
More height the better today imo ,aerial bombardment and not pretty to watch if you're a west spam fan ,hope we're up for it, a bruising day today and no more injuries .
http://www.coolsport.tv/stream27.html This seems to work ok if you don't have BT Sports. Howard Webb is the ref.
Chico will be critical in a game scenario like today , if he has a great game , we'll get the points imo.
For those without BT Sports http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=241716&part=sports The AceStream feed is pretty good. acestream://0a6329542da7d11695c8b09fb698fa0173d96606 You need to download AceStream from here first and need a decent internet connection: http://dl.acestream.org/products/acestream-full/win/latest The other streams will work in your browser but offer lesser quality.
