I’ve gone into West Ham hate mode. This happens periodically, when the hope dies and this defence mechanism kicks in. To be honest, most of my life has been spent in hate mode.
Currently fantasising about a wood chipper in the centre circle into which The Board and most of the squad are fed into alive, one by one. Cunts.
Remember going to watch a friendly at Exeter v West Ham around 2000.
They had a really good team
Di Canio
Suker
Winterburn
Ferdinand
Stuart Pearce
Joe Cole
Hislop
Sinclair
Only went as my mate was a massive whu fan. After the game he found the players coach and asked the driver if they were going for an after game meal.
We ended up fucking stalking the coach to the restaurant and went in.
Ended up speaking to redknapp who was at the top of the table with lampards dad
Quite embarrassing,but my mate loved it
Can’t find anything on it,but they played Plymouth a couple of days earlier
I had a season ticket then. I went into ‘hate mode’ shortly after that in 2002 when we were relegated with De Canio, Cole, Defoe, Carrick, Kanuté, Sinclair, Glen Johnson, Les Ferdinand etc,etc, having alread sold Rio And Young Frank. We were relegated because our only signing was Gary Breen on a free.
An entire generation of homegrown talent gone in a blink of an eye.
I’ve never renewed my season ticket, and after this debacle it was to get worse. Icelandic ownership, the Tevez/Mascarenas disaster when we were sued by Sheffield UTD. Then the dildo brothers take over, installing Avram Grant which got us relegated again.
The board have got a lot right commercially. The London Stadium on a peppercorn rent etc, but the football side is a never ending planless botch. At the moment there is no money, we’ve sold Kudus to the lily white scum for peanuts, the midfield is custard. Going daaaahhhn! Cunts.
Terrible defence. Tomas Repka, a walking red card, a past it Christian Dailly. A past it Stuart Pearce. A past it Nigel Winterburn. Garry fucking Breen. Sebastian Schemell and Glen Johnson were good but attacking…
Yes winterburn and Pearce were at the end,but was still a very good side…on paper. If I remember rightly,suker never gave his full potential,and was probably purchased on the back of that goal in the 96 euros
Seriously, the hammers are in the shit. That midfield is appalling, they can all fuck off. All of them. The defence… OMG. Kilman, quite skillful but shit in the air and turns like an oil tanker. Mavropanos makes a big mistake every time he plays, which usually results in a goal. Jean-Claire Todibo has three spliffs before the start and another three at half time…
No centre forward apart from a perma injured geriatric German.
Crysensio Summerville injured and no other wide players apart from Bowen.
As a fan of a lower league club I’ve just come to accept not really enjoying football. Get the odd couple seasons, then the manager will get poached and fuck off , or the players will.
Highs and lows. Mostly fucking lows. And you get to see fucking janners walking around in Liverpool tops convinced that they are actually scousers.
