Please Pep, the league is over, let Diaz & Foden start the game.

I am sure the team is good enough to win with them.

Pep will only start them if he feels they deserve it. I'm sure both will get plenty of minutes over the next four games though.

Would prefer them to get minutes in the home games that are left , away games against relegation strugglers are always battles , but both should be ahead of Yaya .although i would be tempted to start Yaya against Brighton and make him captain , a fitting farewell

Can’t imagine anyone’s really arsed but did a Q&A with a West Ham site ahead of Sunday’s game if you want a quick read:

Some great comments on there from West Ham fans.

I remember in the 90s, City and West Ham often got mentioned as “everyone’s second favourite club”, you certainly couldn’t say that about City now, but I’ve always had a soft spot for them as a club. Seemingly a lot of their fans still feel the same about City.

I think because they don’t have the glory fan / keyboard warrior element to their fan base like the other London clubs and the Shite and scouse shite do, their fans are made up of traditional match going lads, much like City’s, so they recognise the loyalty we’ve shown the club through the lean years.

I hope we beat them of course, but wish nothing but the best for West Ham in the future, proper football club and proper fans.
 
Met a young Hammer on the bus in London last week , he was on the way to the Emirates. Really nice lad , very self effacing and complimentary of City.

A mutual respect grew between us after our relegation game there plus they hate the rags like we do.

Like us they have stayed loyal without winning a trophy for years and on the whole have stayed fairly good humoured and don't appear to have that cockney arrogance about them. Their downside is the big mouthed Karen Brady, she really should be kept in the background.
 
Quality comments from the ham fans, respect sent the opposite way as well. I hope they stay up and do well next year.
But down to business, 3 goal win for city if we keep up our energy levels.
I'm sure the team won't drop down any gears, these records are there for the taking and within their grasp. The only thing better than winning thr league is to break records along the way.
I would like to see mendy start this one, let's see him in action. I would really like to see foden in as well.
Possession for city will be in the high 70's I think, ham will be playing for a counter goal or set piece, it's their only hope really.

The eldest young This! chap was asking me last night who my favourite other prem team is. Despite occasionally watching neverton when I was a student there and walking to Highbury when I worked in London, I said West Ham. From the relegation game when they were on the pitch and goading us. We started singing "we'll meet again". They joined in. All happy chums with the cockerney cowboys since...
 
--------------------Ederson--------------------
Walker----Kompany----Otamendi----Delph
------------------Fernandinho-----------------
-----------De Bruyne----Gundogan-----------
Sterling------------Jesus-----------------Sane

Bench: Bravo, Danilo, Mendy, Laporte, Foden, Bernardo, Diaz

This is the toughest of the four remaining games so i'd go with our strongest available XI, assuming that D. Silva has been given the weekend off. Now that Fernandinho is back, i'd leave Yaya out of the squad for this one. He can start as Captain against Brighton. We're better off using the bench to plan for the future.

Ideally, i'd aim to give Mendy 30 minutes as he builds his fitness back up. Foden gets another late cameo and while i'm less sure this will happen, i'd personally like to see Diaz given another opportunity to impress from the bench too.
 
Match day at last, it seems an age since the Swansea game.

West Ham will be motivated to stay in Premiership, have home advantage and fewer layers worrying about pre-World Cup injuries. So it may not be easy, but expect we will win it. Expect Pep to make a few judicious rotations.

Go City.
 
In Arnautovic they've got a cracking player (when e can be arsed) who can always score a goal. Think Carroll is fit as well which gives them another option up front but Vinny will relish that battle.
Depending on Moyes set -up this could be a tricky game, although Mad Pab will not be looking forward to Leroy rocking up.
I wouldn't be too arsed if we drop points as the Hammers need em more than we do. But given our general brilliance this season i hope too see more of it today. 2-5.
 
Got a lot of time for West Ham. But these final four games are an opportunity we may never be fortunate enough to have again- a chance to make a name as the best season by a team in English history. For that to happen we need to beat WHU today and probably score at least 2. Hope they stay up though, they're a club with a personality and belong in this league.

This will be the test of how seriously the players are treating the last few games.

Easy to put in a display at home in the 1st game since becoming champions.

I thought Silva was in Spain this weekend.
