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
Player view:
- Bowen: absolute quality, great finisher and such a smart player. For me he is close maybe equal 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.
