    The result of the w. ham game will be a draw. why?

    We are unbeaten in the capital this season, and that looks likely to continue against the relegated team. After draws with spurs, arsenal and fulham, and the result of the season at stamford bridge.

    But we have not won the final day fixture in the top flight since 1984 with a 2-0 win over leicester.

    Hence if i were a betting man, a draw seems most likely.

    1984, god that was a long time ago. How many of them years have been in the top flight?

    Think we will get beat.
    Garbage at home against Fulham & Wolves then superb win away at Bolton. Problem being when do SAFC ever deliver 2 away wins straight off. Bloody hell when do we ever deliver 2 consecutive wins.

    West Ham have taken all the spoils in their past six encounters with Sunday’s visitors at Upton Park, an effort from Brazilian forward Ilan providing a vital 1-0 victory last season as the Hammer’s successfully fought to beat the drop.

    Sunderland have failed to win at Upton Park for over a decade, with their last triumph in this fixture coming in a 2-0 victory on January 13 2001
    .
    Despite remaining undefeated in the capital this season, the stats continue not to bode well for Steve Bruce’s men, with the Black Cats having failed to win on the final day of a top-flight season since a 2-0 defeat of Leicester in May 1984.

    A 3-2 defeat at Wigan last Sunday condemned West Ham to Championship football next term; however, if only the first half of games had counted this season, the Hammers would be sitting safely in 15th place with 42 points.

    Sunderland have dropped 23 points from winning positions this campaign, but only need one more to record their best Premier League points total in 10 years.

    Heres hoping.

    Remember when we clinched the championship down there with a stephen elliot winner. Was in a sports bar in belguim (strange I know) and we went mental when that goal went in. Landlord was going to call the police but we bought him, his staff & the locals, approx 10 people a pint, and all was well. Doing the conga etc the locals joined in, thought we were mad but didnt have to buy another beer for the rest of the night. Good memories

    I was at that 2-0, Hutch scored a mint free kick, just took it quick and dinked it over the wall into the corner.

    Hutch was mint.

    We will lose tomorrow, they will want to win for their fans, and we will play like dogs who can't lick their own balls.

    0-2. There's some optimism for you lads <ok>

    (i'm suffering from a manic bout of alcohol induced depression, so maybe i'll be more positive later...)

    I had a nose bleed earlier this season. Didn't last long, if you know what I mean!
