Who's the best? Us or them.

They've got us, QPR and Fulham, 9 points, we've got them, West Ham and Chelsea, 3 points. We're better, they'll finish above us.

Why do we overrate them and underrate ourselves so much....

Fulham are a very good team at home, we've barely lost at home all season. West Ham should be 3 points for us and the stats suggest we're more likely to get a draw at Anfield than lose.

No chance they'll get 9 points from their last three games.
 
A draw v Liverpool and a draw v west ham could still see them finish above us though.

But we won't draw vs west ham. We draw at anfield and they'll be 5 points behind with 6 to play for.

I agree that if we lose the derby, they'll be in the driving seat but we just need to draw really and we're pefectly capable of doing that.
 
West Ham have a crap away record, with more losses away from home than any team other than Reading and QPR.

Everton have the best home record in the league after City and United, winning 11 games and only losing one.

West Ham's record against Everton at Goodison is poor, with us winning 62% of the matches played.

It's massively negative to say we'll draw or lose, never mind saying Fulham will also lose to Liverpool at home.
 
I hate this fixture more than any other. We always seem to bottle it at their gaff. We could have our preferred XI fully fit, and they could field their Under 18's B-team, and we'd still make it hard for ourselves.
 
The next 3 games are very much winnable games:

Liverpool away - Form goes out of window, we can win there trust me.

West Ham - Got nothing to play for, should be an easy 3 points.

Chelsea - A ground were we haven't done that bad in the past, could well nick it.

*Prepares for negative responses about my Derby comment*
 
You honestly think we'll draw against West Ham?

I honestly didn't think we'd lose to Norwich or reading after being in the lead. Did you honestly think wigan would beat us 3-0 at goodison? To assume we'll definitely beat west ham is weird considering the points we've dropped against poorer teams than them this season.

Wigan was in the FA Cup though mate, Goodison has been a fortress this season with only a very good Chelsea side leaving it with 3 points.

I honestly don't think a West Ham side with a very poor record on the road this season would do the same.

11 home league wins out of 17, including the last 5.

Cup games, sure. Away games, every week. But at home in the league, we're pretty reliable.
