West Ham are sitting second from bottom on 5 points. They could easily find themselves bottom after this weekend's fixtures. I don't think that many people had West Ham getting relegated at the start of the year predictions so why no talk? Obviously Pompey stole a lot of the headlines with their double ownership switch and losing streak. But West Ham's ownership looks none to stable. With Portsmouth putting in solid performances every week, there aren't a lot of people talking about us taking the drop. I would say that if I had to pick West Ham or Pompey to take the drop this year, I would take West Ham. I know I am a little biased but looking at the fixtures for Pompey & West Ham between now and December 5th. Here is what you get
Pompey
@Hull
Wigan
@Blackburn
@Stoke
United
Burnley
West Ham
Arsenal
@Sunderland
Villa
Everton
@Hull
Burnley
United
Looking at those fixtures I think that Pompey will get more points than West Ham. Also that West Ham could easily stay on 5 points until they play Hull (on November 21st). There also have ownership questions and may need to do some selling in January to keep going. There is a lot of talent on the West Ham squad and if they have to sell it and bring in a bunch of new players, you don't need to be a Portsmouth fan to know how that is going to go.
I think that after this weekend the focus of the media will shift from the South Coast to East London.
A shorter version of this was posted on Pompey Gossip. Apologies for those that read it twice.

I think you touched on the reason why. The talent on the team. I think most people are expecting The Hammers to wake up and pull themselves out of their funk. An '08 Spurs on a lower level. Looking ahead for both clubs (on current form) I don't see much seperation. West Ham has a real chance of going down. Still alot of football to be played and there are others that could contend for relegation with them.
I know it's annoying to have to spend more money, considering each HOW THE WEST WAS WON we buy now can cost up to $30, it's like paying for insurance on your HOW THE WEST WAS WON DVD .
