West Ham Online

Hangover thoughts after yesterday’s embarrassment.The heart and soul of West Ham is gone. The atmosphere at the ground was tepid; even when Judas had the ball, the booing felt panto-like—nothing like the hostile reception he’d have got at Upton Park. After Souček’s sending off, we were down to ten; the first goal goes in, there’s resignation in the stands, the Spurs muppets are having a party, and I’m thinking, now it’ll boil over. If ever there were a time for the supporters to let the board know how they feel, it was watching Spurs stroll around as if it were a training match in the second half while their fans took the piss in the stands—but nothing. A mass walkout—no doubt to avoid the stop/go signs at Stratford—and at the final whistle: no booing, just silence.I hope Hammers United can drum up some passion and fight, because it felt dead out there in an important London derby.

David Sullivan and Karren Brady are worse than cunts. Resign you pair of parasite cunts. 

cunts like you are why (bar bilic) we've had a succession of shit in the dugout since those scum turned up

as I've said before, jarrod needs to make his feelings known and get away from this shitshow. what talented player in his right mind would waste their career playing under this clown, or any sane fan would continue paying money to watch this shit?

I was hoping that ‘Apathy’ was a new 35-goal a season centre forward we’re signing. 

Nah, agree with what’s already been said. 
The pressure needs to be ramped up on the leeches, starting again with the march/walk next week. 
One way or another, we need to force them fuckin parasites out of our great club.   Greedy bastards.

Our bit yesterday (near the away lot), was lively at first, then everyone gradually lost interest. Even on the concourse at HT, we agreed we were playing some decent football (but get  a couple of subs on to go at em!)  Cue the same team out 2nd half.    Still, that’s for the Potter out thread.
Oh and Sven, i’m always resigned/devastated when I see the giraffe’s name on the teamsheet.    Fuckin useless, slow,  ball watching, pointer.      

Said the same thing yesterday 
The booing of Kudus was all a bit half hearted & pantomime 
Nothing like the utter hatred for the likes of Ince & Lampard in years gone by
Once Soucek went off & the second goal went the crowd was just  subdued and resigned
Mass leaving once the 3rd goal went in & the ground was a waste land at full time 

Only stopped once by stop & go on the way out & easily got a seat on the Elizabeth Line
Small victories eh?
Had to laugh when they announced the fire in Westfield car park C and that people couldn’t get their cars
What a day

I am stating the bleedin obvious here I know but.......nothing will change at OUR club whilst the parasites are still at the helm.

I go past the souless bowl twice a day on the train and it breaks my heart to see what they have done to line their own pockets.

Upton Park may have been a shit hole but it was OUR SHIT HOLE!

As for the players.......l am lost for words!

 

I was there. Don’t agree it was dead. At least not in the first half. But do agree that it has lost its edge. I was near the away fans and the kids on our side trying to give it large across the gap are an embarrassment to us. 

But it's not just West Ham. This is modern football. Every club is like this nowadays. It’s role playing. Muscle memory. Whatever you want to call it, it’s not alive. The chants are not original or funny. Tottenham have problems too. They have more tourists than fans and the atmosphere is sterile as ours. 

I would go even further and say it’s not just football. Working class life in England has died too. This is the underlying cause of all this. The working class has no culture anymore, it just shops and books holidays and washes anti-depressants down with novelty alcohol brands. But that’s one for the “off topic” thread. 

It’s depressing. If we can’t get riled by hidings from Spurs and Chelsea, there’s little hope. I know somebody who’s on a ban for a few games for giving it to Sullivan at the end of last season from his seat. They don’t want any dissenting voices over there. 
 

I’m at the stage now where I can’t even be bothered to check the results, 50 years of support and this is the first time that I have thought why bother

I wouldn’t mind us getting relegated, might win a few games and visit some proper stadiums plus see a few youngsters play.

It’s all very depressing.

Modern CCTV, policing and heavy handed approaches to dealing with football disorder are largely to blame. No one wants to get nicked, banged up and lose their livelihoods anymore at the football as Starmer and his merry gang are desperate to bang up who they seem as undesirable.

This doesn't get recognised enough.

Is a soulless arena full of tourists and newbie fans who haven't got a clue about passion or history.

What is the hardcore support now?

15-20k ?

Half of those present haven't even been to Upton park and as we all get older and more pissed off and eventually snuff it that figure will get less and less and so the whole culture of being a West ham fan will be lost.

We are referred to by the club as consumers or customers rather than fans and everything  seems sterile and americanised (we might as well be at the baseball)
.
I decided not to go yesterday as knew we would get beat and didn't want to shell out good money for the privilege.

A depressing state of affairs all-round both on and off the pitch.

I've never been a fan of Mourinho but would welcome him now just to stoke things up a bit as I sometimes wonder if Potters even got a pulse 




 

There's reasons it won't get better mate and we've been nhere a few times before.  A poor team with no leaders, mismanagement in the boardroom, a coach in  who the players seem to have little belief, and, on top of all that, fan protests planned for future games which will inevitably have an effect on a shambles of a team that already looks resigned to accepting relegation as an inevitable fate.

It's got to the stage with me , and I suspect a lot of otherb people as well. that I just can't be bothered with all the drama that following this bloody club involves.  I can't remember any sustained period in all the years I've been a supporter where there hasn't been some sort of crisis, protest or generak shit show waiting around the corner to kill any optiomism for the future.

Even before my supporting years we had 3 bloody World cup winners at the club and we had a couple of cup wins but never made any sort of impact in the league.  The team that , imo, was the best the club has ever had, the 1985/86 season won, was allowed to disintegrate after narrowly failing to win the title.  A few short years afterwards and I was genuinely ashamed to be a West Ham supporter at Anfield thge night we were beaten 5-0, and relegated,  and our most succesful manager, John Lyall, was subjected to the most vile abuse from a large section of the away support .

Then, as now, the underlying problem was in the boardrrom.  It has always been that way at West Ham and in all likelihood always will.  It's not so much that the club is run like a circus, more that it's run like one of those trailers parked up in lay bys selling burgers and hot dogs to passing motorists.

I'm just glad I decided to stop going and parting with my hard earned the day Sullivan and Gold bought the gaff.

Where I stand it was vibing for half an hour. 

winning generally produces a better atmosphere.

There's apathy everywhere, not just west ham. It's just magnified by 60000 apathetics in the same place at the same time, all would rather be shopping, watching tv or looking at the phone. 

the players don't care, so why should the fans

Loads of the old school have given up
the football has been dire for years
its a chore going over there and has been for a long time
the players don't care, so why should the fans

I'll admit I couldn't be arsed to go yesterday.  Let the wife take the boy to the game as I knew exactly how bad it would be and frankly disnt want to put myself through it

It’s the same every game there.  The is no atmosphere before, during or after games, which considering out form there is inevitable.  We are the easiest away game in the prem.  current and ex players have said as much in recent weeks.    It ain’t getting any better any time soon.
