Not true. Guys like Foye, cgf(RIP) and Nathan have a lifelong hatred of HSV.

Possibly but your posts are the salt in the fire. So blame yourself and your incompetent club. No wonder why you were hiding your team for months.

Where's that Fener avy man?!

I agree, I think most people on this board don't care about HSV one way or another, but No_20 just made it fun to pick on them. Same goes for West Ham, it's just mainly Baph who hates on them, I think most people however are just really annoyed at how much coverage the Boleyn Ground is getting the last couple of weeks.

(For years I thought it was called Upton Park, that's how little I personally cared :lol:)

A lifelong hatred against HSV? Certainly not.

Actually, I don't even hate them. In terms of personal feelings HSV is completely irrelevant to me. Not positive, not negative. I just laugh at them when they show their incompetence which has been literally every week these past few years.

Although, at least they managed to improve a little this season on the pitch.

It's true, I'm the only one here who actually dislikes them, I think.

There's no respect there, either. I have a grudging respect of Chelsea and Arsenal's achievements, but West Ham's only claim to fame is Bobby Moore, who spent part of his career trying to engineer a move to Spurs, before it was vetoed. They're just tragic.

I don't have anything against the players or manager, mind. Just dislike the club.

Hiddink is making it really hard to find a reason to watch any of Chelsea's recent games. Team has nothing to play for, Hiddink has nothing to play for, team has tons of promising youth dying for a chance to play and he still trots out the same vets week after week. Injuries and suspension to key vets the only thing keeping him from playing them over some of the youth. Today he once again starts Mike at center back (where he was rather awful last time he was played their a few weeks ago) rather than youth. Pedro is playing with a broken nose in a mask, rather than some youth.

Keep telling that to yourself.

It was just incredibly easy to make fun of them (and you with your homer posts) over the last few seasons. At the end of the day, though, they are a club that deserves better management to become a club that this city deserves. And I hope that happens one day, I just don't really see it.

Sunderland 2-0 up against Everton.

Newcastle down as it stands. Imagine being relegated by your local rivals... brutal.

And Boro getting promoted as well.

Who do you think will replace Martinez at Everton? Rumours about Hughes, Pellegrini, Koeman, De Boer. Even Benitez.

I don't know, I think De Boer ruled himself out of the running but I can't be sure. Pellegrini seems to be paper talk.

Martinez has been thoroughly overrated for years. People were talking about him like he was a tactical genius a few years ago, surprised it took this long for the bubble to burst. I like Everton and they have a talented team, and Martinez himself is a nice bloke, but he is an awful manager.

Because they hate Spurs who consider themselves as a Jewish club(large Jewish following and they are also called 'Yids''). So West Ham sing antisemitic chants to wind them up.

Funny thing is that West Ham's joint chairman David Gold is a Jew himself.

On a different note, looks like Martinez' sacking is official now.

I like the fit should it happen.

Fans in London:

Arsenal - Blacks, Muslims
Chelsea, QPR, Fulham - Tories, posh, well-educated, rich
Spurs - Jewish people
Millwall - Working class, far right-wing(BNP)
West Ham - Working class
Palace - Also working class but more left-wing

As someone who has spent a lot of time in London, most of this is a bunch of nonsense. I'm sure treiz will back me up here.
