Devastating news, brace yourselves...
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 4:06PM In an interview over at West Ham Till I Die, Scott Duxbury has once more reiterated that they will not sell any of their players to us. Their fans do not want to see their best players sign for their most bitter local rivals. Nothing more sickening apparently.
What a melter.
The day a player of the ilk of Palacios or Modric turns us down and signs for them instead is the day that the word 'rival' can be used with much deserved acclaim in response to what we think of them. That and if Chelsea and Arsenal suddenly cease to exist.
I know what you're going to say, the very fact that I'm mentioning this is giving credence to the fact that I must care enough to mention it in the first place. I guess I'm only doing it to once more remind the people who do care (guess who) that they are the ones who perpetuate this demented obsession.
We're a bigger club than West Ham much like we are bigger than Fulham or Pompey. It's not arrogance, it's fact based on about a hundred different things (talk amongst yourselves). Much like Manchester United and (unfortunately) Arsenal are bigger than us. That's life as it currently stands. I'd say it to any Fulham fan too. Not with abuse or disrespect. But with a factual nod and hug.
I guess I'm now perpetuating the stereotype that the 'ammers see as our demented obsession.
I guess by virtue of this type of banter, we are rivals of sorts. Like the neighbour a few doors down with the smaller garden claiming that his is better than ours because he has more garden gnomes than we do...with us shouting back that we never said we've got a better garden but now you mention it...
If that's the case, I'm getting my suit measured for the Cup final.

Sorry spammers but we are not looking for another 'rival', have you tried Dagenham and Redbridge, more your class I think, Daggers and Hammers, has a nice sort of ring to it, and they are a bit closer, no inter city required.
Spooky,
Can we return to caning the home shirt next, this donald duxbury post has drawn the lunatics out of the asylum. It must be half-term, since every 12 year old, wet spam window licker and his deranged auntie, have turned up on your site to defend their honour. I'm not sure if it's mildly pathetic or tedious, bigger than us, shit they aren't even bigger than southampton, and about as solvent. Dream on dreamers, back to school monday on the special bus.
Thy're a funny little bunch the whammers, dragging their knuckles along Tottenham High Street to announce they have "taken the manor", presumably from the saturday afternoon shoppers. I quite like west ham. In the same way I quite like next door's little mongrel although he yaps aggressively at me a bit in the morning too.
SCOREBOARDS don't lie, end of.
"To all West Ham fans, just to let you know once & for all the reality of things, I live in Spain, and as a Spurs fan it's a bitter pill to swallow my team being down the pecking order of big clubs, but it's still a big club, enough for the Spanish to recognise. West Ham, they've never heard of, get real, your not a rival, your not even in the pecking order, it's a fact a life."
I live in Germany and can only second that comment. Mind you, in Munich they have fond memories of West Ham.. the local second division club 1860 Munchen beat West Ham in some kind'a final way back in time.... hahahahah
