⚽ West Ham Utd 1-0 Southampton: (2/4/23)

[Up the Junction]

The crowd will not be up for it. The atmosphere will be terrible and even worse if we’re not winning within 30 minutes.

If that's your attitude and you're planning on attending, can I request that you stay at home.

The team needs support, not people whinging the first time a pass goes astray. Plus you'll be playing right into Soton's hands.

[Colours never run]

We're the only PL team not to have scored in the opening 15 minutes of a game this season.

Who knew ?

I raised a similar point before that we tend to go behind first before we start playing. We are shocking at starting games well.

[Doc H Ball]

I’m looking forward to it. We’ve won all the ‘must win’ games in the League and I expect us to do it again.

If not, makes the Newcastle game even bigger and gives us the chance to take a bone saw to their ambitions.

Better this than being on the beach already.

[hammerman11]

totally agree. we the fans have a big part to play tomorrow to whip the lads up and get them moving. a full on atmosphere will see us increase our performance levels. however if it is silent and awaiting the first saints goal we will get stuffed.

all those attending have to support the team and moyes for the full 90 mins.

lose this and we will go down

That isn’t my attitude, but as someone who has been every game this season bar 1, it’s pretty obvious it’s going to pan out the exact same way it has every game.

I am someone that desperately tries to get some form of atmosphere going, unfortunately the majority of others can’t be arsed.

[Shabu]

Massive game tomorrow.

Do we want to be relegated or do we want to stay up? We need fight from our players.

Lose & we stay in the bottom 3 with a very very rough looking month ahead.

Win & we're 14th & the only team in the bottom nine with a less than -10 gd

And we'll head into the Newcastle game on a high.

Game is at 6am my time & not on telly here so I will let fate decide whether I wake up for it or not.

I'm still in two minds as to whether Ings should be a starter for this one? He'll understand the relevance of the game plus he'll have a point to prove.

More power to your elbow in that case, BFS. Have a good one.

[hammerman11]

There is an element to that. people just staring at the match not involved. get shouting singing and get the lads moving !

we will play into saints hand if there is a negative atmosphere tomorrow. moyes will do his best to suck the life out of the players, we as fans need to reverse that !

have a few beers beforehand and get shouting !

get that god damn bowl rocking !

Games being on a Sunday really doesn’t help the atmosphere either.

My ankle has swollen up this afternoon somehow, can't put much weight on it, it is better for tomorrow, really hoping I don't miss this

Nice try, Maxwel, but you're playing!

[Geoff Hurts]

Just had a cup of tea and mystic marge looked at the tea leaves (yes I still use loose leaf tea) ... She says Southampton will set up to win, West Ham will set up to not lose. The match will be a very nervy 0-0 draw that suits neither club and that both are doomed.

I have been wrong before

[One Peter Butler]

3-0

Bring on the geordies

[Ironing Board]

3-0

Bring on the geordies

That’s the spirit. 4-0 for me.

FJ’s “we should try and win this one” is as relevant now as it ever was.

[Danny's Dyer Acting]

Piece of piss. 2-0 at a minimum.

Moreso when it's early Sunday......

[Samba]

I could be wrong but this might be one of those must-win games..
