How much do you dislike West Ham

[Barry the bird boggler]

The big question is how suitable will it be for Premier League football and who will pay to make it so? There is around £50m set aside in the OPLC budget plus £40m from Newham Council to turn the stadium into what the local authority describes as a viable facility suitable for the community. That almost covers the estimated £100m costs. Come May it would be a surprise if West Ham weren't finally given the go ahead.

So that's how whoever moves into that ground are going to wangle paying for its modification. Disgraceful given the current financial climate and also where modification of a stadium should come in the overall scheme of local governement priorities.

Absolutely spot on - why the hell should Newham be allowed to spend £40m of public money on basically a new ground for the Sham - and I so don't buy the 'suitable for the community' line - it's an outrage and borders on misappropriation of funds.

Their thread full of not giving a shit about us is longer than ours full of not giving a shit about them. Disgraceful. Woeful support for Reading yet again.

I know one Reading fan & he is a complete lemon.

We'd better do these *****. Everyone should be properly fired up. None of this quiet ****.

I shouldn't say this but such is my contempt for these ***** I actually wish it was the 70's/80's so we could give them a dig as well.

Don't be a pussy hole Sam. Get those boys fired up.

If Kebe starts the crowd will get onto him straight away and his head will go down. He seems a mentally weak player and if one of our players puts in a strong challenge on him he will hide. I just watched what he did again and it is out of order, someone please smash him.

West Ham got heavy with him after Collison's sending off and Kebe didn't hide anywhere. He continued to rip holes in them. The real problem with Kebe is he goes missing for too many games and then plays a blinder. He's due a good game!

'greed, Foy will be wise to the antics and I think this is where a Prem referee might be an advantage. He won't be afraid to book anyone going in heavily on Kebe. We saw how much damage we did them when they had one full-back sent off last time round, they won't want that again. I imagine that as West Ham are weak on their right, most of our play will come through McAnuff though.

Hard to hate a team that's so generous with its points.

[brighton_royal]

West Ham are the only team I properly dislike in our division.

Epic day

[From Despair To Where?]

The egghead no longer ownes them. They are now owned by a couple of dildo salesmen.

I love West ham and this love can be explained in 6 easy to grasp points.

[Ian Herring]

I'd said previously on this thread that I didn't really dislike them.

I've changed my mind. I f*cking hate 'em.

Graceless, deluded bunch of c*nts.

Guy at work yesterday morning walking around wearing a west ham scarf, this must be the first Monday where I am actually looking forward to going in, hes going to get "hammered" and he deserves it for trying to wind us up.

[Victor Meldrew]

As I get older I just don't get all the stuff about disliking so many other teams.
Yes,I can fully understand Man Utd but we read so much on here about teams ranging from Liverpool,Chelsea and Wolves all the way down to Swindon and Aldershot plus just about every other team from the league that we currently play in.

As for West Ham they are a typical smaller big city club that looks enviously at bigger clubs in their own city such as Arsenal,Spurs and Chelsea but have had so little success and are more akin to a Charlton or a Fulham but for some reason can't see that.
Big Sam is right to say that there is no "West Ham way"-now and again in their history they have had the occasional good attacking elements to their sides but more often than not they have been terrible defensively-I remember them losing 8-3 at home to Blackburn once and of course 6-0 to a little club in Berkshire.

They are a yo-yo club like Wolves and West Brom and no better than that.
