There's an unsettling amount of our own fans who are pushing for us to lose to West Ham in order to get Spurs relegated. Personally I want Leeds to win every game, the consequences for other teams don't concern me.

Most of those wanting us to lose, justify it by saying Spurs going down is better for us next season. I actually think West Ham going down is better for us in the long term.

I did put the following as a reply to a comment in the general thread, but I'm curious to see if others agree with my thinking.

It will be better for us next season if Spurs go down. West Ham are in a financial mess, and I'd expect them to be just as bad next season as they are this season. Spurs however, will spend heavily and probably be in the mix for Europe.

The problem is, the teams coming up are favourites to be relegated, so West Ham being the same as this season may be enough to stay up.

Spurs are definitely coming straight back up if they do go down. Once they do, the spending will resume, and they'll be back to where they want to be in a couple of seasons.

We end up with both teams still in the league, both teams who could damage us and both sets of shit owners who ultimately are not suffering from their mismanagement.

If West Ham go down, they are in all sorts of trouble. Promotion is not guaranteed. I'd say another relegation cannot be ruled out. And every year they stay down makes it harder to come back up. But they may finally get rid of owners they hate.

Basically, if we send West Ham down, we are getting rid of a big club, and a threat to our own rise for longer than if Spurs go down.

Ultimately though, I just do want to win and be happy that whoever goes down, it isn't us.

So, I'll set the scene.

I was playing rank 4, and managed to reach Victor with a fully upgraded Requiem, plenty of ammo, and an RPG. I was feeling confident.

I got through his first phase with surprisingly little issue. At the start of phase two, I equipped the RPG, aimed for the big red blob, and fired.

I missed. I fucking missed something that takes up the entire fucking screen.

I don't know if I managed to find the one space he doesn't occupy, or I fired too early and he had i-frames. Needless to say, I was so stunned I didn't react to getting hit in the face twice, and died.

I fully blame myself. Which is probably a good thing, as I may have lost a controller and TV if I didn't.

And back to the start....
