West Ham Online

"I use to keep an eye on Orient for years but was turned off when they got involved in the Olympic Stadium decision. I like to see Coventry do well, they’ve been through it over recent years. Stoke is one I always hope to see lose. Them and Millwall of course. Who do you keep an eye on?"

"Always look out for Bristol Rovers result as I went down to Eastville a few times as a nipper, and also go along to my local non-league side, Gloucester City..."

Soft spots for Ipswich and Norwich as they are East Anglia. Especially Norwich as its a lovely city and I like their colours. Soft spot for Bristol Rovers because I had the subbuteo team and they always seem to be in City's shadow. Hate Crawley Town because their supporters are such cunts. I went down there to see Chelmsford City play them a couple of times. Crawley used to be regarded as the scum of the Southern League. Hated to see them get into the Football League.

Oh and sort of look out for Barkingside as my cousins used to play for them. Used to watch Ilford as well when they were at Lynn road

"Hoddesdon Town FC my home town for a while, saw them beat Epsom and Ewell at Wembley for the first ever FA Vase trophy. It was the same year we won the FA cup v Fulham. It was a great year"

"Some of these are rational, some irrational Like: Blackburn- cousin's team and they beat Liverpool. Good kit Coventry- beat spurs and they've really been through it Ipswich Norwich Saints- best mate supports them Sunderland Blackpool Cambridge- lived there Charlton- One Grandad supported them AFC Wimbledon- great story Bradford- lived there Dislike: (a fair few will be because we were shit against them at various times or they played shit football) Birmingham Leeds Leicester Wall- obvs Preston Sheffield Wednesday- a kid I hated at school liked them Stoke Swansea Bolton Orient (spurs thing) Reading Salford- artificial club funded by hypocrite cunts Wigan It's probably poor character on my part but I do enjoy the schadenfreude of looking at that dislike list thinking about where some of those clubs are currently languishing. A year ago I'd have put Wrexham in the 'Like' column as the story was fun and I really like the two owners. However they could become a 'dislike' considering all the fawning and A listers showing up there for a photo op in that fucking pub. Slightly nauseating."

"I used to go watch Harwich and Parkeston as a nipper, so will always have a soft spot for them, and for that reason, I really fuckin dislike Clacton FC, who were their big rivals. I saw Harwich and Parkeston play West Ham back in 68, when they turned on the floodlights for the first time. Got Brian Dear's autograph, but Geoff Hurst was a miserable bastard and would give 8-year-old me his moniker."

"Soft Spot (Geographical reasons) Ipswich Town Colchester United Irrational dislike Norwich (I think because see above) Reading (Crappy team, but a bogey team in the past) Wigan (See Reading)"

Like Enfield Town my home town. Dislike Reading. That 6-0 drubbing on New Year.

"Always had a soft spot for the O’s and the Shrimpers as my Dad, Uncle & Grandad used to take me to see them when I was a youngster Millwall & Oldham on the dislikes list"

"Newport County, remember their old ground when going past it by train, and the old rusted orange corrugated iron, that held the place together. Was glad when they got back in the league. if Sunderland play Newcastle Utd, then I want the former to win, ditto WBA vs Brum or Villa, Pompey vs Southampton, but don't 'like' them as such, just favour them if their derby games are on. As well as the obvious dislikes, Wigan Athletic, especially after them jumping in with Sheffield Utd over the Tevez stuff. Luton Town, artificial pitch AND ban on away fans. MK Dons."

"Dislikes dirty Leeds and Millwall for obvious reasons Likes Orient occasional visits as a kid when hammers were not playing, all pre-Barry Hearn. Been a couple of times about 10 years ago with a workmate who supports them and enjoyed it. Charlton was my Godfather's team and again went occasionally as a kid. Enjoyed the trip on the Woolwich Ferry more than the football. My last visit a good few years back took my youngest daughter to a game there when she won tickets when she was at Kent Uni. Awful game against Bradford. Wycombe Wanderers - Grandson plays for under 10s."

Loved the QPR team of the 70's and have liked them ever since. Villa was always one of my favourite away days and have had a soft spot for them for years. Like PB I have a grudging respect to go along with the intens dislike of our real rivals. All the usual susoects on the shit list.

"The only clubs results I look out for other than West Ham is Glasgow Rangers. But there are clubs I have a soft spot for various reasons. Plymouth Argyle - A mate who’s a fan took me to a few of their away games and they’re fantastic supporters. Most southern club in the country and they travel everywhere in good numbers. Charlton - Used to get freebies over there quite a bit as a mate worked for them. No issues with them whatsoever. They’re not rivals, they are anoraks. Millwall. Our big derby. I hate and respect them equally. I can get on with a Wall fan in the way I can’t with an Arsenal or Spurs fan as I see us and them as the same, but two warring tribes. Leyton Orient - Did everything to block our move to the London Stadium (wish they had), but supported Spurs bid citing they’d lose local supporters to us when the wankers from N17 were in the Champions League."

....dislike is Milton Keynes. Total cuntshovels

"Wimbledon. Where I was born & brought up. My brother & many mates of mine are all season ticket holders & have been for many many years. I go to 1 or 2 home games a season for a monsterous piss up with them. Very glad they are finally back at Plough Lane. They've had a real shit time of it but are eventually ""back home"""

"When I was working I would always try and go to watch the local football team, at whatever level the game was. In Europe was generally worth the effort but once I started taking contracts beyond the reach of mother's apron strings it became rather ""challenging"". Indonesia, Dubai, Malaysia, Laos, Oman, Thailand & China all had local teams for me to follow but in those places I ended up in the bar within 15 minutes of kick-off, inevitably joined by one or more women who were certainly not there for the game being played on the pitch."

Stoke

Wrexham. - Hollywood Forrest Green Rovers - Green Accrington Stanley - Exactly Motherwell - Fine thanks

"Dorking Wanderers, Sunderland"

Cambridge Utd as I moved up here many years ago Charlton Athletic as I used to live in Woolwich and saw them when West Ham played away

"AFC Bury - saw a fundraiser thing on a Rangers forum to be a club member, so signed up for that as I thought it was gash the way they had been treated. AFC Wimbledon - shareholder to help them get back to their new ground after years of being stitched up. Milton Keynes - want them to lose every game due to how the above were stitched up... Special mention to Oldham - fantastic to see them languishing where they are after that blatant stitch up for the title all those years ago. Fantastic."

"Like: Orient (Used to alternate their home games with ours when I lived in Leyton) Birmingham (Late Mrs was a season ticket holder) Ipswich (Frequented a few games when I worked in Felixstowe) Tranmere (Good friend of mine is a MASSIVE fan) Dislike: Sheff Utd (Obvs) Wimbledon (Memories of a shit ground and pie) Swansea, Cardiff & Wrexham (Sheep shagging cunts, form your own league)"
