mackem-tiz, I would love it if wigan and sheff u ("if they have any brains between them") played out a draw as that would see us safe. Thanks for your support.

I think its funny and radiculous. West Ham have actually bucked there ideas up, and have had an excelent recent run of form and are playing like the team they can be, like 2005-06. Now you have the Chairmen of the other bottom 6 clubs stopping their feet and throwing their toys out the pram. You can be rest assured if westham had earned 47+ points or were in the place of Watford, you would not hear a peep. Fair enough Tevez has played well....since the end of March. One Man does not make a team and/or a club. Not only that, if westham do go down, i wonder how many of these clubs will show an interest in our talented south american. They know if we go down we won't be able to keep him. It makes me sick.

Listen you daft Ammers, Tevez will keep you up and he is your most influential player but he shouldn't be allowed to play cos although he was registered he wasn't registered properly and therefore inelligable. Haway the Wigan you can do it. Cant wait for the weekend! and S.A.F owes you lot one for the time you stopped them winning the title and laughed about it. Deary deary me its looking bit dodgy for you innit?!

I am a Sheffield United Fan that has read many of these comments and found them hilarious! Fact is, West Ham Cannot be Innocent at all!!! The £5.5million fine clearly had some reason behind it, i.e You scammed the System with your two argie friends! £5.5million is a complete steal i'll give you that. To have an business man own the players, scam some documents to suggest he "might" be your player then pay the equivalent of £2.75 for them both to the FA is a great deal considering shevchenko was £30-odd million Fact is, take tevez's goals away, against Arsenal and bolton, thats 2 draws not wins, therefore 4pts dropped and you're down! All these who claim, "we are in the battle because we have been poor all season" clearly have no idea of football. A newly promoted team cannot walk their way to safety, Reading have been class, but United have battled their hearts out to take it to the last game only needing a point. Thats commitment, ill admit, we are poor, but no big names, little funds, we have done great, and to let West Ham put our position in jeopardy by Cheating is a joke. Maybe warnock and McCabe could weasel a thrid party deal for David Villa to turn out on Sunday? £5.5 for safety, fair price!

Couldn't agree more Johnkentzer! I too find some of the comments by Hammers fans astonishing to say the least. The three main comments i hear the most are the ones that get my back up. 1st-
The other teams at the bottom are there cos they are poor and not because of WestHam. 2nd- Tevez didn't play well at the start of the season and actually cost them points! 3rd- They want it to be decided on the pitch and not in the courtroom.
Yes i agree...but with elligable players!

I couldnt agree less johnkentzer

1. you lost any credibility in the matter
straight away with your "I'm a Sheffield United fan" tirade. You, like me, take the sterotypical lines behind where our clubs stand on this. You revert to type.

2. West Ham pleaded GUILTY. We are not innocent.
We pleaded guilty. The Premier League appointed
a commission and they decided that there was a breach of rules, looked at the evidence and the SPECIFIC circumstances behind the rules. And punished them accordingly.

People cite precedents, previous cases with points deductions and that this sets a dangerous precendent for the future.

I dont think it does, it is up to the commission to decide based on the specific circumstances and specific technicalities involved. It may be in the future another club could get a different punishment, depending on the specifics - I dont think any club will knowingly risk this crime.

I and you do not know the detail of the full story I am afraid. Im sure the commission do.

There is no obligation at all for a points deduction.
They decided they did not want to relegate the club given the evidence, the specifics involved. They set the penalty accordingly aimed at the circumstance of the defendant. The players WERE registered, maybe there were certain oversights in the Premier League's
own processes too in this sorry matter.

It was the commissions decision & punishment not West Ham's and it is certainly not Dave Whelan's justice or Sheffield United's or thanks the lord not yours or Mackem-Tiz's to make - fortunately.

3. As I have said before there are people in life who accept the decision of the referee / authorities. And there are those increasingly in the game that stand in the face of the referee and scream "it's not fair" (Neil Warnock!). Boo hoo hoo.
Whether you agree or not it is time for people to grow up accept the decision and stop screaming at the authorities.
Bleat.
Sure they can point out their objections and appeal to the football authorities in the correct manner, and then that's it. Leading on to related point 4....

4. It is not for the likes of the opportunistic and self-interested Dave Whelan to take
football to the courts on this matter. Where will that end?

Teams taking Man U or the League to court because that CHEAT and LIAR Cristiano Ronaldo won a "penalty" that scored a goal that relagated a team and lost that team revenue....
Boo hoo.
The relegated team taking Liverpool to court because they fielded a weakened team against Fulham. Bleat.
Spurs taking the league to court because they made them play last year with food poisoning and miss out on a CL place.
Can Man U take UEFA to court for allowing their conquerors Milan to play in this season's CL despite them gaining points last season by bribing referees....?
It would never end. Boo hoo hoo. Bleat bleat bleat.

5. Sheffield United have 38 points and Wigan 35 - most seasons both teams would have been down. Bleat.

6. Yes - how Tevez played IS irrevelant - once he played.

7. I wonder how interested Fulham are in "justice" now they are staying up? Strange how most of the other PL teams just dont give a monkeys and accept the PL decision.

8. Warnock what a lovely bloke! Bleat. Sheffield United have played like men though.
