    Not if Liverpool win both their games....we'd be 6th...but I'd go with that.

    I'd go with West Ham and Liverpool both dropping points today and tomorrow so that it is in our own hands to finish 6th.

    Given the way the last 10 days have gone, it's probably a bit too much to hope that both results today and tomorrow will also go our way. But just so long as one of them, we'll go into Palace with top seven in our hands. That's absolutely good enough for me, even though I would love it to be that top six was in our own hands.

    Although I really don't want it to be a draw tonight (we'd go into the Palace with slightly less than a one goal advantage, due to West Ham then having the better goals scored record - so a West Ham defeat tonight please), if you offered me a draw then I would take it. Too much of a risk that West Ham might win tonight, and therefore potentially leave us at the back of queue in 8th going into the last game with nothing in our own hands (albeit with the possibility of finishing as high as 5th!).

    I would have backed Man U tonight, however as it is the last game at West Ham's stadium (whatever you would like to call it), I think this game could be a lot more dramatic than one would normally expect. I see a draw. Will also be backing the away team in Chelsea tomorrow, that game is also very difficult to predict too.

    Anyway, none of this may matter if we don't beat Crystal Palace and our record against them in recent times at home has been rather atrocious, but again this is hard to predict as The Eagles have the cup final and we have been playing well. All too much for me!

    Game should be called off and both clubs deducted 3pts.

    My understanding is that man u need warm up time after spam fans surrounded the team bus delaying its arrival.

    I wondered why a large group of fans would surround a bus. What would give them inspiration to do that. Then remembered its west ham and week in, week out they watch Mark noble and there other beloved players gang up and surround the referee when they want a player sent off. Jerks

    Yea it's funny why the media have made such a big deal about it. I'm sure West Ham fans want to give t a good send off, but don't care about all the OTT publicity

    Di Canio's goal was good, but **** me it wasn't that good. Wouldn't get in a Le Tiss top 10.

    I thought Man Utd arrived late anyway? Not saying the muskets that attacked the coach are in the right, but they are not the Reason man Utd got to the stadium late in the first place. Apologies if wrong.

    It's almost like they're keen to suck up in expectation of the wonderful facilities and treatment one could enjoy next season if seen to be 'on side' as us footy chaps say.

    F**k knows what it'll be like when they have to go a few extra miles up the road next season.

    But really, this is twice we've had a delayed kickoff recently. Wouldn't hurt Man U to set off a bit early like.

    WHU Chairman saying that ManU should have arrived earlier...perhaps right, but that doesn't excuse smashing the coach. Saw a little kid crying in his WHU kit....that always breaks my heart...looks forward to it and some idiots ruin it for everyone else.
