Their supporters had to give up their beloved home ground for a stadium designed for Athletics and devoid of any atmosphere. They were promised that the stadium move was to help them finance a bigger push so they could compete for European places, but this has failed to materialise. Hence fans think this is a cash grab that has left them in the dumpster. The overwhelming majority of West Ham fans did not want to move from the Boelyn. Put it this way, imagine if our owners had got rid of Filbert Street then moved us into the middle of nowhere and installed David Moyes as manager! We'd all be irate! Fair enough but actions like today helps no one. As fans you get behind your team for 90 mins. Especially when your in a relegation battle. The timing was wrong imo and slightly disturbing to view.

The way they just reacted you'd think the owners had some all their players, driven the club in to bankruptcy, got them relegated through the divisions and made a personal profit for themselves in the process. Where as what's actually happened is they got the club a bigger, major stadium for peanuts, made some shrewd additions to the squad, hired a manager with loads of top flight experience and, uh, well. Totally agree! The reaction was way over the top!

You've undersold that, they've moved to a soulless bowl that's not a football ground nor is it really their home. They signed a load of over the hill players and appointed a footballing grim reaper as a manager. Gold and Sullivan are toxic, clueless chancers that are only going to get them relegated again. 2
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 11 March 2018 Posted 11 March 2018 Tbf any three of West Ham, Stoke, WBA, Southampton and Palace is happy days as far as I'm concerned. Really want Stoke and ****ing West Ham to **** off.

If we're being honest, it's Drogba by a bloody mile isn't it? Yaya and Essien up there. Oh it has to be drogba. He could do everything. A phenomenal player he really was. Very under appreciated by some. An immediate family member produced some program he was on for charity and said he was the nicest person you'll ever meet too. Probably the last player in the prem that could do everything.

Draws. And loads of them, as we should know..

Yaya Toure's 13/14 season was immense, 20 goals and 9 assists from centremid is ridiculous. The few times we played him whilst in the Championship he absolutely ****ing bossed us.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 11 March 2018 Posted 11 March 2018 the reaction to Knockaert's challenge was ridiculous, he barely touched him

Drogba had three or four seasons where he was consistently insane though - that's what puts him ahead of Yaya for me. Both class acts mind. 2

Im sorry but youre talking absolute rubbish. The West Ham fans reaction today was absolutely pathetic and significant number of them need to get their lives in some kind of perspective. There are actual clubs like Coventry that have been unquestionnably ruined to the point no one even goes or games are having to be played in Northampton, The Oystons at Blackpool or Leyton Orient who watched their owner piss away their 100+ year football league existence. West Ham has not been "ruined" by Gold and Sullivan, throughout the course of my lifetime they have been a mostly insignificant club who have had a number of relegations to the championship. They arent doomed this season and could finish mid table. Yes they lost heavily today but to a Burnley team having a great season themselves. That season with Bilic in charge had a) the Payet factor and b) the closing of Upton Park galvanising what was a pretty modest team anyway. They overachieved massively, and towards the end of the season barring a couple of freak results like the Man Utd 3-2 win, they were shipping goals and playing poorly. Blaming a better, bigger and more modern stadium as part of their failings is a woeful excuse. Its the same size piece of grass for fvcks sake and If the fans can make lots of negative noise, they can make lots of positive noise if they choose to as well. Fact is they dont and thats their fault. As for the investment into the team, theyve invested a bit, but whos fault is it if the players coming in are absolute wank? managers and their backroom team are sanctioning the likes of Masuaku, Simone Zaza, Callieri, and such like, and theyre not good enough. As for appointing Moyes, why would West Ham get anyone better? its West Ham, why the hell would Ancelotti pitch up at West Ham? who was the mythical manager they were meant to get? And no one was criticising Moyes when they went on the mini run around christmas that had them beating Chelsea and being in the top half. And as for investment as well, whats realistic to expect? Everton have spent a quarter of a billion so is that the benchmark? Burnley have spent less than West Ham, We have more clout because weve won the league and had a champions league season, the top 6 are all mega rich. Theyve invested enough to be slightly more decent than they are and not much more, and their investment is about what youd expect relative to the rest of the teams in the league. The reaction of grown men today making kids cower away in the dugouts was a farce. Grown men running on the field to wave corner flags about. Theyre absolute twats and wouldnt know a serious life problem if it hit them in their brainless faces. Edited 11 March 2018 by Donut 9
Stadt Posted 11 March 2018 Posted 11 March 2018 I've not seen any highlights or whatever but did the kids have to go into the dugout? Maybe it was a bit over the top but why should West Ham accept having dodgy as **** owners that have ripped the soul out of the club?

kushiro Posted 11 March 2018 Posted 11 March 2018 Danny Baker nails it again: By the way, the best pitch invasion was at Upton Park: Spurs probably included that in their 'shots on target' stats. 1 1

Clubs like Portsmouth, Coventry, Blackpool etc. have more right to be pissed? They were all in the Premier League not so long ago. The rot that lead to where they are now had to start somewhere and maybe more fan action at the start would have prevented things going so far. Often fans of other clubs dismiss supporters of other clubs as having delusions of grandeur etc. When they do not see the full story of what has happened to that club. We should know this as much as anyone in our recent history. I am sick of anyone who shows any sort of passion for their club being treated like hooligans and thugs. As a collective football supporters need to stand together against the likes of the Venkys, Ashley, Oyston etc. The money men who are taking the game away from its true supporters. I don't think going on the pitch during the game is a great idea and this was the catalyst for the ugly scenes in the stands. The chanting towards the directors box, however should be applauded. Anyone remember doing the same at Filbo over the years Pierpoint etc. For what it's worth West Ham supporters were sold a dream and they see Gold, Sullivan and Brady lining their pockets and taking them away from their home, ripping the heart out of the club and that's not ok! 1

Yeah they do have more right to be pissed as their clubs have been legitimately ruined, whereas West Ham are not being ruined. Sold a dream my arse. You aint sold anything in sport, breaking into a champions league spot NOW would be an almost impossible task and you dont start coming to a football club because youve been "sold" something, you go because its in your blood and handed down through generations. So take it however you want, the West Ham fans today WERE acting like brainless thugs and there is no "rot", its a transitional season where one manager was doing a poor job and another has had to pick up the pieces.
