View from the opposition

[Bazali]

Is this the international break thread we were all hoping for?

Or is it some chancer trying to sell us pegs and a go on the dodgems if we engage with him?

The jury is out.

Or white heather for your lapel’s

Player view:

- Bowen: absolute quality, great finisher and such a smart player. For me he is close to the level of Saka and Palmer but doesn’t get maybe the respect he deserves.
-Paqeta: really fucking good, amazing on the ball.
- Kudus: great player, but room for growth when playing the big teams.
- Lack of depth, you guys when missing the top 3 players dramatically drop quality.

Stadium view:

- What the fuck did you guys do leaving Upton Park!!!

It was a nightmare to play in, fans in touching distance of the players, outside the ground lots of pubs, a pie and mash shop, proper east end tradition, and then go to that soulless shithole called the Olympic stadium where you need binoculars to watch the game. Our new stadium is immense and thankfully keeps the design of how a football stadium should be, it’s everything the Olympic dump is not. You guys should buy the land and build a proper football stadium. Upton Park was your soul, sold it for magic beans. You never had the resources of United or Arse or even us but that was your gold and like Gordon Brown it went cheap.

Fan view:

We are rivals so no love lost but you clearly have passion, I won’t ever take that away. However our real rivals are Arse, the whole rivalry that really grew in the 90’s mostly came from your side and feels like we are a surrogate Millwall due to Millwall not being good enough to be in the top league that and I guess buying a lot of your players like Carrick, Parker and Defoe. For most fans Arse, Chelsea (Neo-Nazi issues that go back decades, they used to do gas chamber noises in the grounds) are well ahead when thinking about rival games and that is not meant as disrespect by the way just history.

Quality summary, my man

I'd just add that they have developed some pretty good local talent over the years...Rice, Noble, Ferdy, Fat Frank, think Joe Cole started there too...their academy and the pathway to the first team is one thing I do envy and wish we replicate here at Spurs.

Re the ground - 1 zillion % with you. I was involved with the launch of the Olympic Stadium and I remember during one of my last visits there, when it was nearly ready, thinking my oh my it'd make for such a shitty football stadium. Thank fuck Spam got it and we've got our marvelous WHL2 instead.

I’m truly humbled that a fan of the current champions of Europe has posted on our forum.

They won the World Cup too.

Even if they didn’t really.

West Ham that is.

But England didn’t either, did they?

Never crossed the line and scored another during a pitch invasion. VAR would have had a field day.

Anyway……

My driveway is fine for tarmac thank you.

Yeh for me I could never get over that stadium move. Can’t think of anything the Dildos and Brady could do to fix that short of becoming as good as Man City, even then its a high cost for what you have lost.

Moyes:

I understand why there's conflict but what do you fans really want? I think he's probably the best manager for you for your standards because another manager won't get you as high up in the table or to the latter stages in Europe consistently IMO. Last 3 seasons he's reached the Semi of Europa, won the Conference and the QF of Europa, Id stick with him if I were you.

Fair question. Would we accept a Conference League or Europa League and stability for years and years of Joseball. A gamble either way. Be interested as to his response.

 

[Jaynola]

What ever happened to that academy hot prospect who went to the Netherlands for a tourney with West Ham u13s, fingered a bird and she shat down his arm?

A few years ago my neighbour had his driveway tarmaced by ‘travellers’

He made the mistake of parting with his cash before properly inspecting it so when he did A row ensued so I went over to help and I’ve seen thicker sheets of filo pastry than his driveway tarmac!

Plod came out as my neighbour had blocked their van but nothing they could do as it was a civil matter

As my neighbour was a Gooner it brightened up a dull afternoon for me!

I remember when they secured the deal and the Spammer fans on that Footymad site were crowing about Brady being an amazing businesswoman etc and how all the top players would be itching to play there

lol

I had a field day

While I was reading that the doorbell rang. It was an Irish fella offering to steam clean my drive.

They use Mint Imperials instead of stone chips in the tarmac,

You're probably better off somewhere like Spurs Commuity, where they ban posters for having inappropriate thoughts, let alone full on written abuse.
If you hang around here, make use of the ignore function

Morning Ladies and Gents,

West Ham fan here. We are introducing a "view from the Opposition" on one of our forum's. Done it before and it is nice to see the insight of an opposition fan. All light hearted fun, bit of **** taking from our side and hopefully we get a bit back.

Looking for a fan to answer some questions before the game and just a few after.

Anyone up for answering?

TIA
Matt

Fuck off

Bobby Moore really loved us you know!

Funny thing is that our fans would have absolutely killed for that type of run in Europe and that sort of stability, in their 3 years we've played the same type of football under Moyes for maybe half the time as well - the difference is though we finished 4th and will finish 4th/5th this season but if you think about it on the surface you'd take their last 3 years over ours TBH - the only difference is the quality of football is better and the potential of our project is miles better.

 

[Coys1955]

Fuck off

Why did that post take so long?

He had to Google if fuck had a ‘c’?

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

Q: You're trapped in a room with a Lion, Cobra snake and an West Ham supporter. You have a gun with two bullets. What should you do? A: Shoot the West Ham supporter Twice.

Proviso. Only if there are no Chelsea or Gooners in close proximity.

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

Serious question.

How do you feel about WHU sharing their biggest rival with Woolwich and Chelsea?

Do you get a warm fuzzy feeling inside when you hold hold their hands and have a little sing song about Spurs in your 'derbies' with them?

How did feelings change towards the ICF when they got into bed with Brady to put the frighteners on the 'GSB Out' group and get the protests stopped?

Exactly how far can a West Ham fan throw an apple?

 

[Jaynola]

Be honest, Matt...would you twat Danny Dyer if nobody was watching?

Also, did Carlton Cole really bang Karen Brady?
