There certainly is from a handful of posters, not everyone mind.
Absolutely! That’s better than we usually manage. It’s been a while since we’ve had a group of players who play with pride in the shirt, baby steps for us.
One thing that is important to us is having a go in the FA Cup. Probably one of few fanbases who would rather win that than the league. We have a bit of a romantic affinity with it, probably due to it being the only competition we’ve ever had a bit of (minor) success in.
You’re thinking of Spurs

But then why stipulate 6 games, and not three or another number? That's what mislead me to thinking you are looking at their tough schedule over that period
Yes I suppose you can see a similarity to his early years here when in 2005 he guided us comfortably ahead of Liverpool at a similar stage of the season, eventually finishing only fourth.
Liverpool, who finished behind us, did win the CL and as would be defending champions claimed to have more of a right than us (fourth) to be one of the four champions league entrants for the following season. In the end England were allowed five in the following years competition.
Similar could theoretically happen to West Ham this year in the event they were to get fourth, although the five club rule is still current.

I initially said the next 6 games they'd sink down the table...
You wrote that theyve had good results this season and gave examples
I then said that theyve never done anything and are chokers (if they even get into a position to choke)
So, yes next 6 games look tough for them and i think they'll sink because
Its only Wham.

Every side has periods of meeting tougher sides and relatively weaker sides in their fixture lists.
Most will look on the periods of meeting the top sides as likely to be the most difficult time, when a side who is perhaps performing better than should normally be expected will be 'found out' and reality hit home.
Over the next 6 games West Ham have such a 'tougher period' of meeting some of the better teams.
My reference to past results was from a similar 'tougher period' from earlier in the season when pundits were also expecting the sky to fall in.
It's why the SIX held significance for me as it almost coincides with this stretch before they meet the slightly 'easier' Newcastle.
We know ourselves results don't always follow this pattern and we have lost some 'easier' games - or at least they were on paper.

He's definitely looking more lively and vibrant. The colour has come back to his cheeks.
He looked like death incarnate after the United job, and he carried it with him into the Sociedad and Sunderland jobs.
It must have taken him this long to recover.

Yeah, I know some people give him a lot of flack but I have a lot of time for Moyes. Good to see him doing well.
Don’t give a crap.
He must`ve bought a sunlamp to put colour back into those cheeks.
Count Dracula has got more of a healthy glow than Moyes.
If he was any paler, he`d be translucent.

lol lol lol Either that, or he's still FB friends with 'Suntan Bob' Elstone and he hit him up for some the prime suntan parlous around.
