When I warned a few weeks back that we still faced a battle to stay up, the optimists scoffed. We were sitting comfortably in mid table. Reading had started winning but wouldn't keep it up. Villa were useless. QPR couldn't hope to catch us. Wigan were doomed.
Well it's looking very different now. The gap is down to six points. Reading will end up with 36 points at least. Wigan have begun their annual Great escape. Allardyce played Villa back into form and they looked decent at Arsenal.
Norwich's victory at the weekend was bad news too and whilst Newcastle's win meant Southampton lost, I would have much preferred a draw and two points lost to both teams.
Tonight's game takes on an ominous significance. Lose it, and we will be up to our shins in shit. Where is our next win coming from? Wigan at home? Remember the Capital One Fan Cup? Reading at home? Do you know our record against Reading? Southampton away? Bloody unlikely! And so it goes on.
These are dangerous times. Allardyce may have lost the plot. Please God Bale has a quiet night and we pull off an epic victory, otherwise...well remember what happened to Sheffield United during our Great Escape season?

Been saying this myself for sometime. I was not a fan of Allardyce to start with and he's done nothing to prove me wrong. I dare say Roeder could have got that side promoted and I really wish he'd stop bringing in his old Bolton mates. They were crap then and they're old and crap now.
There is definite cause for concern, however i think we might just pull it out of the bag tonight and scrape a win, long and short of it is the same story, no creativity in the midfield and a packed out mediocre strike force!
Scoffing at relegation??
I'm not sure I heard too many West Ham fans scoffing at relative safety....
Points on the board are vital and that is a consolation, but given the remaining fixtures, the return to fitness of some key players, 40 points is not unreachable, and that should be enough yet again...
A point tonight will be OK...
you might use bigger words now, but you still spout the usual bulls**t.
100% garaunteed that if the worst did happen and we got relegated, then you will be the first to write an 'I told you so' article.
all you do is slag us off, go and support someone else if your not happy. Will you be there tonight? Mr negative? Doubt it. Come on you irons lets turn spurs over ! As for you mr negative ,try and get behind the team or stop writing your crap.
Just sliding eh! Those blind enough could see this coming and the Allardyce "Bang it high to the forward" Tactic is now out of date. We need and have done for a long time someone in midfield who can pick the ball up and run at defences and create, Not Mark Noble who is out of his depth in Premier league sorry to say
13.36 i bet you don't have much luck with the lotto and football coupons? Seems to me like you couldn't tip rubbish,although you tried to last night. As for armchair hammer,Leeds fans tol you months ago that w,ham would struggle and or go down. Remember?
