West Ham are complete failures! Let's all laugh at 'em!

I live in a nice part of East London, by Tower Bridge

Anyway, I understand that when we were on our to being relegated the media were plugging for us - but why not? We have offered a lot more to English football in recent years than you have (half the England team to be precise) - of course people wanted us to stay up. We used to play good football and be an entertaining team to watch, which is why West Ham, believe it or not, are a lot of peoples second team.

You should be aiming your angst at the media.

Yes - you're right - aiming our angst at the meeja - except that the West-Ham loving meeja tosspots are most annoyed/irritated when West Ham get relegated - so the best way to bash them is to wish West Ham ill-fortune - which is to bash you!!

(

whilst you were probably right the last time we went down, I think you'll find that times have changed, we are far from the media darlings you describe, and rightly so.

What interests me more is your hatred (seems to be on here), of a club with tradition and pride that has a loyal support base despite the shit that we are subjected to on a weekly basis?

We can sit here and sprout off bollocks about flat caps, pearly kings and queens, flat beer, shandy drinkers blah blah blah, but it's bollocks really. Lets keep this conversation football related and see if we can rid you of your irrational hatred (see it as a free councilling session with the word cnut thrown in a few times)

That last bit makes the most sense. But surely its 'cant'?

You have an inferiority complex, don't you?

As for big crowds.....don't Sunderland have bigger support?

You see....the size of your crowd means feck all.

it means something when your talking about loyalty especially in regards to West Ham. The point being that we take the good times with the bad, regardless of what it is we always put out a good support.

Which is the mirror image of teams that are performing well yet cannot get fans to come and watch them and result to corny (sp) american rubbish to get the crowd going, and with this I include Blackburn and Wigan.

And in reference to Sunderland - well I have the utmost of respect for them (or respec' if one of the idiots on here wants to continue to have a pop about me living in London), they were one of the best supports home and away I witnessed last season

y'see that's a great post - and just what this site is supposed to be about - it's why we're not on Rivals!!

I don't fully agree though...

Every time I have heard commentary on WH - they are described by the meeja as a "footballing team" - and every time I hear commentary on Bolton we are described as a "physical team"

I don't think that's true at all.. unless the definition of "footballing" has changed.

you are right if you say WH have changed (in that they are now simply rubbish) - but I don't think the Meeja view has changed a jot - you don't have to look much beyond the BBC hero-worship of Sir Trevor Brooking to see that...

anyway - as far as I'm concerned - you're most welcome on here - you have some humility and wit and patience under fire..

Gord Bless you mate!

I'm growing to like you, sir. Even if you cheat by living in Tower Bridge, nowhere dear the desolate badlands your team plays in

Your team STILL gets a lot more media coverage than comparable teams from elsewhere. So you've had a season in the Prem and reached a cup final; I don't recall Blackburn receiving such attention a few years ago when they did much the same, or even Boro when they reached a European final. You simply cannot deny that on a quantitative and qualitative scale West Ham get more coverage than they, er, deserve. Now, of late this has turned from last season's "ballsy newcomers" (as opposed to, say, the patronisation of Wigan as "plucky little 'uns") into intrigue about the Argentinian hire-no-purchases into constant banging on about Eggert Bloody Eggheadsen. Now I can sympathise with you that the attention is all on this peculiar little glove-puppet of a convicted fraudster - I lost count of the number of times we saw him slumping into his Madejski seat, although you chaps may have preferred it to the action on the pitch...

Here's an obvious newsflash: Bolton fans have chips on their shoulders. This season's slow-motion car-crash aside, you probably imagine that West Ham have been favourably viewed by football fans as a whole. Now imagine flipping that on its head. Imagine a media which often seems to be setting out to systematically destroy your image, which focuses on the long-balls we used to play three years ago and the long throws we haven't scored off for a season and a half, which harps on about foreigners while applauding Arsenal's League Of Nations ("no Englanders allowed!"), which analyses every time Diouf crumbles under assault while forgiving cheeky winker Ronaldo, which spends a year preparing an hour of prime-time "investigative" TV on utterly unfounded hearsay and entrapment ("Mr Unknown Agent, if we offer to give you £10,000 funding will you spout random names?") . Imagine that for a wee while.

Another good post sir.

And as for loyalty, although our support is a tad down this season (along with the majority of Clubs in the top flight), our home crowd has largely remained static for the last few years. If we were to get relegated, I doubt it would drop too much. But that into the perspective of our catchment area and conurbation against our close rivals (United, Citeh, Liverpool, Blackburn, Wigan, Everton etc etc) against that of West Ham's - and I don't think we do too badly overall.

That's what Manchester City used to say when they were in the 2nd Division. We all laughed at them then too.

Seriously, who gives a fook about crowd attendances and loyalty? As long as I support Bolton I couldn't care less who else does or doesn't.

We're an easy set of fans to wind up mate if you try a little harder, but you're way off the mark with this one.

Now, would you care to join me for some nice jellied eels?

DSB - Thats one of the best and most accurate pieces of writing Ive seen anywhere on BWFC. Amazing that someone linked with the name Dave Sutton can produce something so beautiful - sniff.

west ham matt...

you simply cannot claim to have provided half the england team. for feck's sake you are a SELLING CLUB and always will. How many of the current team are actually at your club?

NONE, the same as little Bowton

They are too big for you, so they move on. Even Glenn Johnston who is only just in Portsmouth's back line had to move on from you. Anton wants to. Nigel wants to. You sold the best players for a reason

I've lived in West Ham territory for nearly 6 months, it aint half miserable round here at the moment, and I'm not just talking about the crime rate..

good points, might be due to the bias towards London clubs as apposed to it being a West Ham thing, with the majority of fleet street hacks being London people.

The other issue at that time was that West Ham were known as a good passing side and Bolton were known as the opposite, ive got to say though that after the shit ive had to watch this year, your lot passed us out of the game where our desperation and lack of players who go looking for the ball have resulted in us pumping the ball 40 yards to noone, and what makes it worse is that we havent got any "bolton" type players to get the foot in
