Singing West Ham Are Massive When 4-2 down

[iphammer]

Embarrassing

[Fifth Column]

It's not serious booing of Rice.  It's banter.

It's not like Ince or Lampard or Defoe.

[Collins Wong - A Free Man]

too many teenage melts following us these days

you should only be going to away matches if you're prepared to do time for the club

[Hammer and Pickle]

All depends on what that purple-haired person has to offer the site, doesn’t it. Maybe they/he/she is/are here to tell you there is a market for responsible, well-educated professionals in a real world out there where pronouns don’t matter so much? Rather than just some emotionally triggered consumers lost in a meaningless social media narrative where pronouns are so important? Maybe they are here to release you from a collective cage of cultural conditioning?

[Cabbige Savage]

Talking of social media, has anyone noticed how it needs to be maintained like a garden or a plot of land otherwise the pikies and sundry social cases just degrade the space? 

wurse it juss get infectektid with all the transformers and peurple hair homosexalls

[Percy Dalton]

What is embarrassing is the constant booing of Rice everytime we play them.
He cost us fuck all and we spunked away the 100m+ we got for him now that is embarrassing 

[Leavemyarcelona]

I get what you are saying some will probably feel embarassed but all honesty it was tongue and cheek. I remember singing we're fucking shit, lets pretend we scored a goal. I tell you what was cringe, champions of europe we know what we are.

[Come On You Irons]

You're a right bundle of laughs aren't you, you fucking helmet.

I might remind you, we aren't the only team that does it.

Do you politely clap when the opposition score, "oh jolly good chaps"?

Actually when I first started going, the supporters would clap if the opposition scored a cracking goal. And we would always clap the opposition goalkeeper when going to their end.

Nowadays the vast majority of our supporters wouldn't do that as they lack class and are probably too focused on sniffing gear, sinking pints and updating their social media status.

When were getting smashed, usually by one of the top six, we used to sing "let's pretend we scored" and then proceeded to celebrate scoring a 'goal'. 

Not cringe at all, just a bit of fun.

That was always as cringe and small time as singing West Ham are massive when losing. As is singing 'how shit are you are, we're winning [at home/away]', as is signing 'carefree wherever you may be, you ain't got no history' to Chelsea, and singing gas chamber sounds and the 'willy hanging out' song to Tottenham in years gone by.

Let's face it, so many West Ham supporters who engage in these activities are complete and utter cringey cunts. Many are total scum.

I didnt think it was embarrassing has always been tongue in cheek. Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that I find cringe though.

Champions of Europe is tongue in cheek too.

It may be, but it still makes me cringe.. But as a club we are MASSIVE

It’s “fans” walking out before half time that’s embarrassing.

Embarrassing

Oooooooo. Look at me. I'm edgy.!

[mallard]

Obviously wasn’t at the Villa Park Semi-Final in ‘91

[fraser]

A West Ham fan moaning about the crowd singing and trying to lift the team when we're getting smashed, now that's fucking embarrassing.. Our fans were showing some backbone. 

[stubbo-admin]

I always think this song depends on the context of the term 'massive'. 

Does it refer to the team's ability to win games? I'd have thought not. 

Does it refer to the fans ability to turn out in numbers no matter where and when? That for me seems more the point.

With that context, "West Ham are massive everywhere we go" feels like a decent chant no matter the score.

[Mex Martillo]

Excellent. A bit humour in the face of adversity. I like that. 

[One Sunny Day]

I find letting in 5 first half goals far more embarrassing and needing of remedy

The whole stadium was getting behind the team despite the score, better than the normal library over there. We lost by 6 last season with hardly a murmur from the crowd... At least we tried to lift the team and the atmosphere helped soften what was a shit result.

You forgot your emojis??

Sorry about that , was having a bit of a black arm band moment  when thinking about the game

Do get the singing though, can't remember the game, not us but a proper shit side who hadn't scored for a good few games, bottom of the league and 4-0 down but get a goal at the end of the game and the fans go mental like they just won a Cup, made me laugh (could have been Sheffield Utd) so get our fans were maybe just having a laugh in a similar way.

Let's face it, was that or cry 

[Manuel]

Not sure its embarrassing, i can see the tongue in cheek manner it would have been sung at the game, funny if anything, fans just making light of a bad game, what do you think they should do, sit quietly arms folded looking pissed off and/or boo?

Get a grip mate, no one is happy we lost and in such a way but doesn't mean you can't have a laugh.....
