50 years of West Ham, I ought
50 years of West Ham, I ought to be used to it by now... Well, at least it's never boring!!!!
Wouldn't have it any other
Wouldn't have it any other way bully lol no such thing as an easy ride being a hammer
Fans of other clubs must get
Fans of other clubs must get really bored!!! LOL
Sooner eat worms bully!
Yeah who'd want to be a Manure fan 20 times 20 times poxy scumbags
20 times 20 times i say ,20 times 20 times poxy scumbags
you would win "Eff-all" without the FA ;)
LOL I do wonder what it must
LOL I do wonder what it must be like to win stuff every year... they get blase and it can't mean much after a while.... kinda makes the whole think a bit pointless and empty....... If they suddenly went bankrupt and had to sell all their players I reckon they would quickly end up with less real fans than us!!
I think the difference
Between real fans (like westham) compared to the likes of the mancs,is they become suicidal if they have a bad (trophy-less) season....we are used to the ups & mainly downs of supporting our great club...manure-F**king glory hunters!!
I think, like all the rich
I think, like all the rich clubs, they have a smallish core of ';real' fans, and the rest are just good time charlies, who don't have any genuine connection or feelings for the club, who aren't really bothered when they lose, and who would swiftly move on if Manu/Chelski/ManC went back to being a normal club.
'Bootleg' highlights. Better

I liked the way Zarate took
I liked the way Zarate took his goal,the guy certainly has got ability,definitely worth keeping.Maiga has yet to convince me,but I think he needs more time with this new coach and style,it may click for him.Still would like another proven quality goal scorer like Hernandez to provide more options.Bilic will need to scrutinise the way Westham came under the cosh once Collins was sent off,defence looked exposed once Oxford dropped into the centre back role.The midfield cover definitely needs some positional discipline in that area.I just hope Bilic treats the second leg seriously because Westham will sail through if they play their strongest side, games in Europe are something fans have been waiting for a long time ,may it continue.Let the Arsenal game take care of itself,take each game as it comes,if we pick up an injury,there is enough strength in depth to cover.Like you state Toronto ,Arsenal will have to contend with the Charity Shield and what team to put out there.A 2/3 day gap between the Astra and Arsenal games will tax their bodies ,but these guys are fit and strong and I expect the majority to play in both,and if they are not up to it there are some eager youngsters knocking at the door,ready to prove themselves.
