At the start of April 1977, they still occupied last place, but after a succession of draws they beat Manchester United 4\u20132 at Upton Park[1] in their last fixture to avoid relegation by two points, having lost just one of their last thirteen matches. Perversely, many of their better performances came against teams towards the top of the table: as well as doing a League double over Manchester United, they took three points off the champions Liverpool and also beat Arsenal at Highbury and Manchester City at home. Pop Robson, who had re-signed for the club from Sunderland, was their top scorer with 14 goals.[2]West Ham also struggled in the cups, and they were convincingly beaten by Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup.League table[edit]Source: World FootballRules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scoredResults[edit][edit]DateOpponentVenueResultAttendanceGoalscorers21 August 1976Aston VillaA0\u2013439,01223 August 1976Queens Park RangersH1\u2013031,668Paddon28 August 1976Leicester CityH0\u2013024,9604 September 1976Stoke CityH1\u2013219,131A Taylor11 September 1976ArsenalH0\u2013231,96518 September 1976Bristol CityA1\u2013128,932A Taylor25 September 1976SunderlandH1\u2013124,319Jennings2 October 1976Manchester CityA2\u2013437,795A Taylor, Doyle (o.g.)6 October 1976Leeds UnitedH1\u2013321,909Jennings16 October 1976Ipswich TownH0\u2013224,53423 October 1976EvertonA2\u2013323,163McNaught (o.g.), Bonds30 October 1976West Bromwich AlbionA0\u2013319,8566 November 1976Tottenham HotspurH5\u2013328,997P Robson, Bonds, Jennings, Brooking, Curbishley10 November 1976Norwich CityA0\u2013124,76220 November 1976Newcastle UnitedA1\u2013221,324P Robson27 November 1976Manchester UnitedA2\u2013055,366Brooking, Jennings4 December 1976MiddlesbroughH0\u2013120,18418 December 1976LiverpoolH2\u2013024,175Brooking, Jennings27 December 1976Birmingham CityA0\u2013039,9781 January 1977Tottenham HotspurA1\u2013244,972Brooking3 January 1977West Bromwich AlbionH0\u2013025,23622 January 1977Aston VillaH0\u2013127,5775 February 1977Leicester CityA0\u2013216,20112 February 1977Stoke CityH1\u2013020,160P Robson19 February 1977ArsenalA3\u2013238,221A Taylor (2), Jennings26 February 1977Bristol CityH2\u2013029,713Bonds (pen), Jennings5 March 1977SunderlandA0\u2013635,35712 March 1977Manchester CityH1\u2013024,974P Robson22 March 1977Ipswich TownA1\u2013427,315P Robson (pen)2 April 1977EvertonH2\u2013222,518P Robson (2)4 April 1977Queens Park RangersA1\u2013124,930P Robson8 April 1977Birmingham CityH2\u2013228,167Jennings, Pike9 April 1977Coventry CityA1\u2013115,816P Robson11 April 1977Norwich CityH1\u2013027,084Pike16 April 1977Newcastle UnitedA0\u2013330,96720 April 1977Derby CountyA1\u2013121,380Pike (pen)26 April 1977Leeds UnitedA1\u2013116,891P Robson29 April 1977MiddlesbroughA1\u2013116,500P Robson4 May 1977Coventry CityH2\u2013025,461P Robson, Pike (pen)7 May 1977Derby CountyH2\u2013232,079Pike, Jennings14 May 1977LiverpoolA0\u2013055,67516 May 1977Manchester UnitedH4\u2013229,311Lampard, Pike, P Robson (2)FA Cup[edit]League Cup[edit]Players[edit]References[edit]National teamsLeague competitionsLevels 1\u20134Levels 5\u20136Levels 7\u20139Athenian League (One, Two)Cheshire County League (level 7 only)Eastern Counties League (level 7 only)Essex Senior League (level 7 only)Hellenic League (Premier, One)Kent League (level 7 only)Lancashire Combination (level 7 only)London Spartan League (One, Two)Midland Football Combination (level 7 only)Midland League (Premier, One)Northern League (level 7 only)South Midlands League (Premier, One)Sussex County League (One, Two)United Counties League (Premier, One, Two)West Midlands (Regional) League (level 7 only)Western League (Premier, One)Yorkshire League (One, Two, Three)Cup competitionsEuropean competitions"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/1976-77-west-ham-united-f-c-season\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"1976\u201377 West Ham United F.C. season"}}]}]
