West Ham

I REALLY want them to stay down. Can't bear the media love in with them, plus I'm interested to see how they cope with the inevitable shedding of their best players. Also, it's a local derby.
Unfortunately, I can't see it happening. They've strolled past Cardiff without breaking sweat and Brum and Blackpool just don't look good enough.
Oh well.

    I'd fancy us against Cardiff if I'm honest.

    Absolutely. You know, that's the big positive from this game - they're supposedly the sixth best team in the league, but look absolutely toothless.

    Indeed, Cardiff looked very poor............... in both games.

    Very underwhelmed by Cardiff - thats one reason why i think we will do well next season.

    Birmingham ripped West Ham apart a few weeks ago. In the end it finished 3-3, but I'd say the game would be open at Wembley.

    Blackpool will squeeze past Birmingham and then beat the Hammers at the final. It will happen.

    Would like Blackpool to go up.
    Think West Ham would beat Blackpool but lose to Birminghim in the final.

    Nice to have another two "derbies" next season from a selfish point of view ( more chance of us being able to afford a local away game in November should we have the cash to visit the UK this year ), but I think the Hammers are the team that deserve promotion, all things considered.

    I think we'll have enough derbies, what with Palace, Millwall, Watford & probably QPR

    don't like West Ham but if they don't go up they could be the strongest team in the division next year, so hopefully they'll go up and come straight back down

    I think Wet Spam looked several classes above Cardiff who were poor. I'd prefer them to be out of our division next season.

    I guess the real question is who they will be able to keep from this season if they don't go up. They have huge debt levels, and all their players will be one year closer to the end of their contracts.

    Also Big Sam could be under pressure if they lose at Wembley. A new manager with half the squad moved on could see them struggle to make the top three again next season.

    Anywhere outside of the M25 is up North. Including Southampton, Portsmouth, Plymouth and Exeter. And Crewe.

    Whilst it would be good to play West Ham, they will definitely be a force next year so probably best for us if they go up.

    And Benson. But may well give Leon Clarke a miss.

    I hate West Ham more than any other club...used to like them, then they knicked Defoe from us & I have hated them ever since, plus every time i go there I see an example of racism from their fans (last time I went, i walked out of the ground and a group of 8 blokes were rocking a car with a terrified African Family inside, whilst spitting food all over the bonnet). If i had enough money i would buy them and close them down.

    Sadly they are miles better than Birmingham & Blackpool so would have to play very badly not to get promoted at Wembley...fingers crossed!

    I wouldn't have them promoted just yet, if only because you will have a long wait to see a more inept performance in the play offs than Cardiff managed. Very disappointing from them and, as well as WHU played, Cardiff just never showed up.

    And I'd be really peeved if our players were laughing and joking with the oppo halfway through such a poor performance like some of them were! They basically gave up after the first leg.

    WHU are the 3rd best team in the league but I'd still fancy we'd give them a good game as things stand.

    That was basically the view from and around Sunderland in 1998
