Surely Alex will retain his place in the first team.

Surely sophie07 will tell us Joe Cole is better than Pele.

Surely we will beat the pikeys.

Well if we don't we can say goodbye to our lingering hopes of winning the league.

I'm really looking forward to it as I shall be going to the game. However, I'm in the east upper with the pensioners (and G4) so there'll be no singing I guess...

[abramovich]

After City fiasco there's no more room for error left. Anything but a win against spammers will be disastrous. Carlo needs to prove his worth, because our run-in is very very tough.

[Gilvorak]

Predicting a Lampard masterclass against this vile lot

[PloKoon13]

We need to win this. Not only is it imperative we beat the scum, but we need to get back on top of the table.

We really should win, their away form is nothing short of terrible, and our recent home form has been great, apart from when Mike Dean beat us at the Bridge the other week.

[Cam]

Anything other than 3 points, and I would stake someone else's house that we will not win the title.

[Bridgeboy]

Not even worth talking about, we need 3 points.

chelsea will stroll this...we are awful at the moment. our only chance is putting hilario under pressure. but we wont have enough of the ball to do that!...apologies in advance for some of our fans...im afraid the tiresome abuse of frank will be as vile as ever. and terry is going to get it too.but im sure you already know this. i hope chelsea win the league,i can't stand the manc arrogance. regards

[Mod]

Blimey, a friendly level-headed West Ham fan, they do exist. Welcome to the site. I take it you are not in Andorra as profile says?

[S38]

thanks mod...appreciate it fella. no im not in andorra!!..lol. don't know what thats all about!believe or not, there is some decent whu fans. just the mindless minority make the loudest noise. they make me cringe at away games.dont get me wrong, i like banter as much as the next man,but the way our away following carry on at chelsea is embarrassing.i'll be in lower shed,i must be mad! 48 quid to watch us be ripped apart. still ill have a few :P to numb it a little.

[Mod]

Well mate, if there was a good time for a team to try their luck against us, it would be now. We done ok against Stoke but a few games prior till then, to say we were shaky would be an understatement.

[Mikstaw]

We have to win this game!!!

[clubhappy]

We have to win this game!!!

Absolutely , nothing less than a win or we can kiss goodbye to Premiership.

[WV2 Blue]

3 points via a 2-0 victory.......

We MUST win this game

[Chippy]

Games have been a must win for about two months on here..I've lost count of the times we have had posts saying if we don't get all three points we can kiss goodbyr to the title.

Truth is we could lose this and as long as we win all the rest nobody can stop us.

If we don't win this though its likely we will lose all the rest so lets hope we get it done.

I still think there will be points dropped by UTD and Arsenal as well as us in the remaining games.

Yuri Zhirkov, troubled by his own calf problems in recent weeks, returned to training with the first-team squad at Cobham today and may now be available for the visit of West Ham.

If we cant beat West Ham at home then i dont see us winning the rest of our games. This is one of the easiest fixtures we have remaining. It is a must win. We have to stop relying on others dropping points and focus on doing our job

Id like to see the same team from Sunday but to play with Zhirkov replacing Ferreira for the first 60 minutes or so if fit. Get a few minutes under his belt before the inter game. That is if Carlo bothers making a substitution this time :D

Oh, and can we please bring on any of Kakuta/Matic/Sturridge/Borini if were up by two goals with 20 minutes to go

Dont think im asking for too much

You aren't but I doubt it happens - especially the first two.

[Arq]

We definitely need to win this game. Yeah, I'm stating the obvious but this is still BC for me (Before Coffee).

It's time to put up or shut up. It's as simple as that.

I'm predicting a 3-1 result for the Chels.

[Zola]

We're gonna win 3-0

[sleepy_gonzalez]

i think we're very likely to see sturridge at some point, bearing in mind the need to keep drogs and/or nelks fresh for the inter game

[ws6blue]

for a start we need to do better than last season, but they haven't got bellamy now have they

zola plays 4411 with plenty energy and tacklers in the middle all of whom can do a decent job and press the play, sit deep and hit us on the break - yes like mancc last week

we have to play with plenty pace in our passing and get some decent crosses in - their fullbacks tad weak, especially left side

2-0 blueboys

then onto the next game

[icecoolguy22]

Needless to say we have to win this match. Considering we got Inter next week, Ballack and Carvalho may be rested for this one, Joe Cole and Alex should get a game.

I say a 4:0 thrashing.
