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

I remember being at Upton Park this season and last and when Cole's name was read out by the announcer person there was widespread booing - not hard to imagine this then developing into racialist abuse.

Southerners eh, what a set of bastards

I'd imagine that's because he's shite, rather than because he's black.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Indeed, but as I said it's not a stretch to imagine some people taking that abuse onto the next level, such is the intellect that we're dealing with here.

[boltonboris]

Can't argue with that... Pikey bastards

[FozzyII]

I know I'm on a rival board where West Ham isn't widely admired/liked but it's unwise to treat unproven allegations as fact.

And Cole is our boo-boy - never heard anything worse than 'c*nt' aimed at him.

I'm not buying that. West Ham fans are not booing Cole cos he's black - it's cos they think he's shite. I've been to upton park several times recently - when Cole comes on - there is a collective groan - and then some boos....

[Lofthouse Lower]

Good for you!

It's funny then that the club have brought this charge up out of thin air

very amusing, I'm sure.

PS - read the article - there is no charge related to the booing of cole.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Thanks for the reply

A lot of my mates are West Ham fans. They are not racist. Some West Ham fans are. All football clubs have an element within them that are racist. Even ours.

Cole gets booed because, like some of our fans, they like to have a scapegoat for their poor form. Think Matty Taylor for us.

[Lord Kangana]

I'm thinking its because Cole is shite. So if they're making him a scapegoat for his own shiteness, then I'm in agreement.

Matty Taylor is black ??!?! Fck me, I'd missed that.

[Lord Kangana]

Its quite easy to miss him. He's usually where the action isn't.

Have you seen the vidoe of the asian bloke on Green street? 500 or so Hammers all throwing things at him and shouting racist abuse, he dared answer back.. Mayhem ensued. It's on the internet.. I don't think you'd see that at any other ground with the exception of Millwall and Luton

Need to find some new friends then!

west ham fans are no more inherently racist than bolton fans.

[boltonboris]

west ham fans are no more inherently racist than bolton fans.

Based on what?

based on that fact that all fans are human.
