This tread is hugely depressing. They put seats in our ground, for our own safety, and charged us far more to attend games, we just shrugged and handed over the dough. They sold our game to TV companies and moved the games around to suit the schedulers because of "demand", we signed up for the TV c...

That's exactly what you're suggesting. I'm sickened by your prejudice.

Btw do you charge by the hour?

Nice one.

I had seen option #6 but I thought common sense would prevail. Whatever moral gymnastics you need to pull to make yourself feel better about it. I don't doubt that the intent of the majority is not in a homophobic way, but I am surprised that so many don't see and/or accept how it's commonly perceiv...

Yeah I know that Joe, but how it homophobic?

Well in a sense because its derogatory towards gay sex. My opinion is, you know full well that that's the case as well.

How is calling someone a rentboy even homophobic? I understand it being offensive for suggesting they have no morals as to sell their bodies/services for money, but homophobic? Someone care to explain??? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rentboy The common usage of it and the strongly...

HOW DARE YOU assume i'm straight.

I'm proper offended now.

OK Boomer

Your use of the term "homosexual" is offensive. Its members of the LGBTQ+ community. You also seem to suggest that members of that community are unable to stand up for themselves and are somehow weak and unmanly. Overall you've had a blinder. b*llocks to that. Why does anybody stand up for anything...

Because they live in cities which aren’t in the U.K. and can therefore arrange meets to watch the game together. What’s your point?

Maybe homosexuals don't feel safe in a football stadium and would feel more comfortable travelling in groups and therefore arrange meets to watch the game together.

We've got on his back for a lot of poor spells of form but he has worked out to be an excellent signing overall, mid way through his 5th season with the club. He's popped up with a few important goals for us too!

Love his little innocent looking face.

Why do we have a gay supporters group?

What relevance does it have to West Ham?

Why do we have Boston Hammers, Kiwi Hammers, Sydney Hammers, Hong Kong Hammers etc.

Absolutely amazed at some of the posts here. Of course it’s homophobic, and a group that represents gay fans has every right to feel offended. I’m absolutely astonished anyone would think otherwise.

"We've always said it, so its OK"

Totally agree with you Wildkard

David Martin's tears & hug with Alvin is right up there with Adrian's gloves off in cementing himself as a West Ham cult hero, for me at least.

Geezer is proper West Ham and thats good enough for me, especially as 2nd choice.

He's the equivalent of a 34 year old footballer.

As soon as something goes wrong his legs have gone.

Crouchy it's not about whether Obiang was good or not, it's the simple fact that the manager, in the press stated that he intended on replacing him, but we didn't, why the **** was that? Dress it up however we want, but you and I both know how this has played out. I'm not excusing Pellers of anythi...

Unfortunately it only seems to get "nasty" when we are on a poor run, which to outsiders just makes it look like sour grapes. We, however, know what these mgbs have done to our club and it stinks. :thdn: It wouldn't exactly paint us in the best light if we were 3-0 up against Tottenham and being "n...

Yeah Sullivans been **** but I wonder how many clubs fans are actually happy with their owners? We go on about mid table mediocrity etc. But how do Everton feel? Watford feel? Newcastle feel? Man United? Is it that most owners are out there are terrible or do fans just expect too much of clubs? Edit...

Fans sit at home and watch. Supporters invest time and money in following their club. You are a fan, I'm a supporter. Does that make me better than you. I'm afraid so. In the same way the likes of Doc, TPP and Phil devote a lot more time than me on aways games, making them all better supporters tha...

I live in New Zealand and have done for 10 years but I'd be a bit pissed off if Winnie played for the All Whites next month.

I know the article states that he'd travel with the squad regardless, but if he got game time and risked aggravating the injury that'd frustrate me.

There's no doubt Pellers is stubborn and sometimes makes puzzling decisions (not starting Yarmo), but this description fits nearly every other manager in the league (and definitely Greenwood!). Sometimes it appears that managers are being deliberately awkward, but to be fair none of us really has t...

Fine for what, yet another ambition-less mid table finish? :asleep: I tell you what I am ****ing fed up on this "We're fine" attitude. We moved to the new gaff to push on and you think our fans are going to be fine at sitting midtable year after year getting humiliated in the cups year after year? ...
