Reasons FOR being a West Ham fan
Great home support
Best away support in the league
Exciting, attacking, on the gound football
Great youth prospects
New owners are billionaires
Eggert Magnusson is the chairman, possibly the only newcomer with credible history in football
Tevez
History
Bright future, with 60k seater stadium being planned and Europe on the agenda in 5 years
Reasons AGAINST being a West Ham fan
Media hatred
Terrible defence no matter who is in the side
No game is comfortable viewing, with the oppo always looking like scoring
Old fashioned in terms of how the club is run (about to change with new owners)
Mascherano (one of the painful examples of what being West Ham is like)
Everyone wants to sue you
You forgot the anti-semitism and having Bowyer in your squad. The history of racism, etc.

pumps, what is your reasons behind your racists slurs everytime you mention west ham?
if you have good reason then i will back down,but let me know what it is.
every time you accuse west ham of being a racist football club you slight me ,my friends and 99% of supporters who follow west ham united.
every team has a small minority of ignorant people who's political views are not shared by you and me,even manchester united.
so come on United Pumps speak up or shut up.

This is the first time I've heard of such chants being heard in the Premiership. :)

Sure I could. But than you'd think that I care anything about you or your thoughts. Hey there slugger, keep your head up.. the Intertoto Cup is PRESTIGIOUS.

I know, I was just hoping to get rid of one of the many Chelski plastics we have around here.

Villa are just a more solid club than the others. They've been in the first division the longest outside the big 4 and Everton.

More solid at being mediocre is what you surely meant...

Villa are in a much better situation than they were last year at this time. They have a new owner willing to spend, a new state of the art training ground and an excellent manager. I think they could easily be up there with Everton and Spurs fighting for the UEFA Cup every year, and the same could be said for Newcastle if they bring in the right manager.

thats my point,every club has a small minority of mindless idiots. maybe you have never been to a manchester united game if you have never heard them sing songs of hate against scousers,cockneys or the blue half of manchester.
that does not mean that the vast majority of man ure fans are not nice people or that all west ham fans are racist.
think before you accuse people of racisim, it is the lowest thing to be.
and good luck sunday.

No. West Ham were quite well known to have racist roots and this is the only instance of racism I've even heard of in an English football ground for over a decade. Hatred against scousers or cockneys is not the same as anti-semitism.

oh well i stand corrected. we must have the most racist following in the whole football world. how do i know?
because you told me.
this coming from the person who said "there have been far too many wallets and hub caps lying around recently" when talking about robbie fowler in the man ure forum.bigotry in any form is wrong.

Yes. Anti-semitism is clearly on the same level as anti-scouserism. One is racism and the other is regionalism. Every club can be accused of regionalism, however not every club can be accused of racism.

Well never mind. Perhaps if one day you get to go to an actual game, that will change. Although it has to be said, until then you look a bit of a prat.

No, but United are one of the ones that can.
