    West Ham. Growing up in Ilford, all the other kids at school were Hammers. I used to enjoy visiting the training ground at Chadwell Heath regularly and meeting the likes of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, Billy Bonds etc.
    Later, on moving into my first house in Hornchurch, I learned from my next door neighbour that Martin Peters was once my next door but one neighbour, and Geoff Hurst's garden backed onto his.
    But my Dad hated the Hammers, so playing and hopefully beating them again would be fantastic.

    Seems like this Premier League relegation fight basically comes down to two clubs wanting to make it big getting tripped up and fall flat on their face.

    Of the two staying up I see Tottenham getting back into the top half next season. Same is not said for West Ham (Unless the spanners get up somehow and that kicks them up the backside).

    I have pros and cons for either team being relegated. Ultimately I don't really care

    West Ham have been targeting tourists at the expense of fans in recent years. If they get relegated that's going to be a problem unless they slash prices (which they're not going to do). 

    Have a close friend who is a massive football fan in general as well as West Ham fan. His dad was a young pro (not successful) but then big in the semi pro/non league scene in SE London. He was a group of eight season ticket holders at WH, their tickets well over a grand each. He was the first to stop going because of hating the (lack of) atmosphere at the new ground and the way the club were treating them to target daily tourists. Of his group, non of them have their ST's anymore and he knows many others who have stopped going not just because of this crap season. He now just goes to various non-league games during the week.

    Would love an away day at tottenhams new ground, but most likely think it will be the hammers
    Is it a new ground though ? Obviously it's a new stadium but it's still in White Hart Lane. They haven't moved anywhere just rebuilt their stadium. 

    If you built an extension onto your house & put in a loft conversion would you say you've got a new house????
    If you knocked your house down and then built something completely new from the ground up, completely different in every aspect, inside and out…I would say that’s a new house!  🤦🏻‍♂️
    Same address though. 

    I'm talking more about people ticking off the "92" and counting Spurs twice. As someone posted above about Wembley.....I've been to both but I dont count them twice.

    I would love it to be Spurs as their fans (in my experience) come across as arrogant entitled wankers. My experience of West Ham fans is that they are generally decent folk who have had idiots running their club (sounds familiar?), and I've never had problems with West Ham at all, I even enjoyed our spell there in the early 90's. It's Spurs all the way for me.

    Definitely Tottenham. Had a general dislike of them since the 80’s. Always had a soft spot for West Ham since our time at Upton Park  and the fact they also hate the shit down the road.

    If I could do some deal with the devil, I'd probably still choose Crystal Palace, but that's really never gonna happen.

    Tottenham would be funny, that massive stadium being a massive noose around their neck. But I think it's gonna be West Ham. I think they will get away with being in the champ as well, because their rent for the stadium is peanuts.

    What would happen to the fan bases of both teams would be very interesting. I think a lot of overseas Tottenham fans will probably just disappear.

    Although over the years West Ham have been predominantly Premier League, they regularly fall into the second tier for a season or two. Most Hammers fans I know seem to accept this as the norm and see that relegation is a cert for this season. Spurs on the other hand should never be near relegation which is why it’s so amusing to see it as a real possibility. West Ham fans will take it on the chin whereas Spuds fans will implode. Whoever it is they’ll both bounce back very quickly.

    It's not possible that both Spurs and West Ham can go down.

    Second bottom Burnley cannot catch either of them.

    Split feelings today, want West Ham to win and help relegate Spurs, but at the same time, would like Arsenal to win to help them to the title, and keep those cheating Mancs away from the top...🤷‍♂️

    I have three reasons for wanting Arsenal to fail:

    1) Arteta. Proper c***
    2) Arsenal fans have been unbearable this year. More so even than Liverpool fans whenever they get a bit of success. The fact they might choke on such a large lead would be fabulous.
    3) That fucking song they play at the stadium before games now. If ever a club wants to show the world how plastic they are, just manufacture a song and tell everyone it’s your ‘anthem’. It’s excruciating.

    Happy for West Ham to win today as long as Forest do too. 
    If after today it’s a shootout between West Ham and Spurs, (with a tantalising outside chance of Palace), that would be perfect.

    Admittedly it looks like De Zerbi is turning it around, but after the last six months it seems mad to make that statement with such certainty! Tomorrow is high pressure for them. I hope they fold under it and it goes to the last game.

    Can't see West Ham getting more than 4 points from the last 2. That leaves Spurs needing to win 1 of the last 3 to stay up with 2 still left at home. All but done now.
