Was introduced to some new people last night and the conversation turned to football.


Why do people look embarrassed when they say they support West Ham.


Why do the others then look at him sympathetically.


Why do people try to convince said WH supporter that there is a lot of excitement in getting relegated and promoted randomly.


The west ham conversation always seems to go the same way.

in reality, West Ham are also seen as a bit old school and 'Essex', as with all these things there is some truth in that. No-one in SE22 gonna think those things of someone who supports Arsenal or Chelsea.


Plus Mick, you look like a Bushwacker so they are a bit wary in your prescense

Haha! I can't help shaking my head every time I walk past the ground and see those towers.

Because they know some nearby idiot will look all puzzled at why someone wouldn't support Man U/Man C/Chels/Arse etc.

Because they usually support Man U/Man C/Chels/Arse etc.

There is, THERE IS! We get a chance to go to Wemberlee and everyfing.

Only in certain circles (see above).

Maxii, hit's a bit of a note there. Northeners, and supporters of 'propa' teams tend to look as you as a proper supporter rather than a 'fan', when you say you support West Ham. Twats at work who 'support' Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea and live in Weybridge don't have a scooby

The towers ARE, rightly, a source of embarrassment and help with crowd control. It's hard to surge mob-handed up Green Street with intent, chasing the opposition who were let out early, when you have a giant play-fort at your back.




They also serve to keep us humble when get a bit of a swagger on.


Well, okay, IF we get a bit of a swagger on.

PD I was about to (and still will) post on here fair play to Arsenal. By far the better team today and thoroughly deserved the win. I don't honestly believe that Liverpool turned up and got beat though, I just think we were shit today.


That all said, I hadn't said a word against Arsenal this season, and after your typical reaction, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy watching them fade like a fart in a hurricane LIKE THEY DO EVERY YEAR.


Enjoy.

The same ref did the same thing when the same Arsenal player did the same 'tackle' in the game at Sunderland. At least he's consistent...

I ws being facetious even your own manager doesn't think you're a top team. He was saying AFTER we'd played you that we'd not been tested. Says a lot about what he thinks about his own charges. I have to say if AVB was born in a field of clues, had them for breakfast, lunch and dinner he still wouldn't have a scooby. Allowing someone possibly concussed to carry on playing is the equivalent of handing a blike his car keys when he's been out on the piss and saying carry on. Team progess Jah? A bit like us then. Good to see your top signings are banging the goals in though. That Soldado Pen bloke is proving to be especially effective.

And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. Arteta shouldn't have been sent off against Palace but he was. Love Red Devil questioning ref decsions, coming from a Yanited fan that is hilarious. Like they've never been on the end of favourable decisions.

Oh dear, hit a nerve haven't I? Us? You mean the usual suspects, RD, you and Alan Medic? Not as much we laugh at Spurs old boy. But I hope AVB stays on he's good for a laugh.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
