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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
