West Ham

I think there may be more twists and turns, but Soton and WBA look buried. I think there is one place left. It’s between WHU, Palace and Swansea for that.

I'd be amazed if Stoke get out of it particularly if WHU beat them and they have also got to play Spurs and Liverpool.

When was the last time all 3 promoted clubs stayed up

I find it odd how often Huddersfield are left out of relegation talk. Do they have favourable remaining fixtures?

Do you even read these articles DM? The whole point of the article is that West Ham fans were comparing it to their incident. When it was WH, it's scumbags, when it's Liverpool, it's passion

Sorry to jump in like this. I don't think "typical" but they probably would identify as WHU fans. A lot of fans are relatively loose supporters or have to resort to the barstool to watch their football. I was at the BG for most games that year, and as it got towards the end more and more fans without tickets were showing up, which muddied the waters a bit.

I don't think they would be "typical" in that like most clubs the fans show up to the game, enjoy it, or don't enjoy it before going to the pub or going home. They are the exceptional yobbos that every club in the UK has, who see football as having a rough edge to it. The same type of fans would always be there for the 3rd Round of the FA Cup when the tickets are cheap and available, and those games are never fun to attend.

No more ICF?
