West Ham

[Newport]

I think a lot of people are following football so they can hate other teams/players these days more than for the love of a club. It is the only explanation I can see for all this shite written on social media and chants at gamed more focused on mocking the opponents than supporting their own club.

[kemskem]

But we haven't won anything yet. Its completely different to us dominating in the 70s and 80s, for me. Much less understandable.

 

Tottenham fans, Arsenal fans, Newcastle fans, West Ham fans, etc, that would prefer to see Chelsea or City win the league. Its fucking weird. If any of those clubs were in a title race with the two rich cunts, and we weren't in with a shout, I'd always want them to win it.

But if the likes of Chelsea or City win it, nobody really takes it seriously. It's the thought of Liverpool rising to the top again that provokes the jealousy. Give it a few years of Scouse rule and normal service will resume.

Agreed. I don't have a problem with other clubs hating us, it means they're afraid. Chelsea and City effectively play in their own league so I'd always rather they win it than a United, Arsenal or Spurs.

For fuck sake, even the West Ham fans don't want to win.

Some idiot "hopes they get beat in the 96th minute by a dodgy penalty or an og having given a good account of themselves".

He's not all bad that Sam fella

 

Sam Allardyce says West Ham will do everything to beat Manchester City on Sunday because "everyone would like to see Liverpool win it".

 

Manchester City need just a point to be sure of winning their title in six years, but if they lose to West Ham at the Etihad and Liverpool win their game at Anfield against Newcastle, the Reds will be crowned champions.

 

West Ham have little to play for having already secured Premier League football for another season. Yet Allardyce insists that won't mean they will roll over.

 

"From a neutral's point of view I think everybody would like to see Liverpool win it, and from a personal point of view I'd like to see Steven Gerrard win it," said the West Ham manager.

 

"It's the last thing for him which he hasn't quite achieved at Liverpool. He's been a one club man all his life. Obviously they've let it slip out of their hands. They had it to take, but they've now left it in the hands of Manchester City.

 

"We all know Man City in full cry are very difficult to play against. We've got to go out there and give a fantastic performance to stop them trying to grasp the title on that day."

 

The 20 most shocking moments of the 2013/14 Premier League season

 

West Ham's record against Manuel Pellegrini's side this season is terrible. They've played them three times, conceding 12 goals in the process, including a 9-0 aggregate drubbing in the Capital One Cup semi-finals. Allardyce is well aware of the task facing his side on Sunday.

 

"Of course that will be hugely difficult - this is the best team at home in the league. They've only lost once, against Chelsea, their goal record is fantastic and they've got great, great players."

 

Allardyce would like to see Steven Gerrard lift the title

 

He continued: "So every player on top of his form, every player can go out and give everything they've got from the basis we're already in the Premier League next season.

I think social networking has taken footy spite to the next level, people can brag and take the piss at the drop of a hat. I'm guilty of it myself but I enjoy it.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Mrs O'T is a West Ham fan and she's off to Manchester tomorrow, while I'm at Anfield.  Last night she had a dream that West Ham won 2-0 and Liverpool won 4-1.  I've told her that if this happens, when she gets back to Lime Street in her West Ham scarf, she will be carried shoulder-high through the streets, like a conquering hero.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Incidentally, you notice that we can't even keep a clean sheet in dreams!)

 If west ham lose or draw, do you have a plan B? The greats would have the divorce papers waiting to be handed to her should that scenario arise.

Just watching Football Focus now. Love this crowning of City a day before the final day. Let's just hope their players turn up at the Etihad in a similar frame of mind. Their fans certainly think it's done and dusted, so a few murmurings could creep in if things aren't going to plan early on.

[Tony Moanero]

It's unbelievable how many teams have came out of the woodwork hating on us.

I can only think you have never spent any length of time in other towns and city throughout the country. Lots of people dislike Scousers, many of whom don't actually know why.

[Kevin D]

Annoys me to be back under the great Andy Carroll conditional factor, afuckingain.

 

"If" he's fully fit."

 

"If he fancies it."

 

"If the ball is put into the right area"

 

" If he's trying to impresses Hodgson"

 

And so fucking on it goes.

Ive been aware of clubs in London's dislike of lfc but some of the things Ive seen on forums recently has shocked me.

 

A spurs fan on glory glory said they would prefer arse to win the title then us and on arsenal mania most wanted Chelsea to win it ahead of us.

 

The level of dislike towards lfc is far higher then I thought and as Ive been saying for weeks neutrals wanting us to win is bollocks.

[Ronnie Whelan]

The anti-Liverpudlian sentiment is nothing new. Where you have thieving drunken irresponsible Scousers now, you might as well be talking about Victorian attitudes to the Irish in the past. We are an immigrant city and will never be loved by Middle England.

[Russ Atmosphere]

How would a striker with 2 goals this season impress the England manager? Who are the other guys Vassell, Phillips, Andy Johnson?

[Russ Atmosphere]

The anti-Liverpool thing is easy. Everyone is convinced we're their rival. Man City? I struggle to give a flying one, they've been on the scene about five minutes, I didn't even know Manchester had a second team until two years ago.

If Joe Cole keeps his mouth open all  game could cause a vacuum in the stadium. 

[Bjornebye]

If carroll wins it for us we should resign the mad drunken geordie shore bastard

[Boss]

If Carroll saves the day take Victor Moses, Aspas and Cissokho's medals away from them and give them all to Big Andy, pick him up from the Etihad immediately and send him out with the rest of the team for the open top bus parade.

[Ronnie Whelan]

I actually hate having to rely on big Andy, stewey, joey cole and fat sam to give me hope that I can have one of the greatest days of my life. I feel like I've been told that I've a 2-3% chance survival rate from a disease and I just want to have the operation straight away rather than wait another day.

[JermainePennant]

If Joe Cole is on the pitch at any stage the dream is well and truly over.

Scored more than Carroll though.

Don't give a toss what fans of other teams say about us.

 

I've never subscribed to the revelling in others failure or 'supporting' another team over another when it does not affect us mentallity - if we don't win things i am totally indifferent to whoever does when we aren't in the running.
