I was going to post to say I cannot believe it, but I can totally believe it. The ghost town this site becomes when we win.

Even if you can’t bare the manager, you post negative every day, the chance you get to post something positive you don’t.

It’s a new season, off the back of a cup win last season. I just don’t get it. The very least a day like today gives you is a great feeling. Be it workplace honours if you work with a Chelsea fan, next door neighbour banter, or if you just sat at home with your family.

Someone explain this to me. I just can’t get my head around it. Fair enough if you want to be negative and only post when things aren’t going well. However, this is West Ham, no one supports West Ham for the glory. We support them because we are either from the local area or probably have a family member who supported them before we did.

If you want to only post when we lose, or don’t sign a particular player - fine. That being said, please do it elsewhere because this site has died over the last 12 months because of it.

I totally disagree with the negativity on here so far, was going to post the same before I read yours, why no bloody praise on here for the team, absolutely magnificent performance, only watched on MOTD as travelling home from abroad and missed live game but getting updates at Stansted Airport!
Antonio’s goal magnificent, I have always been big admirer although hit and miss but my goodness great from him today! How can posters always be so negative when we have beaten Chelsea with 10 men for 23 minutes still to go! Great performances from all those involved, it’s a massive win and 3 big points⚒⚒⚒⚒COYI

Are you looking to wind People up on purpose? You bang on about negative posts yet you come on, and post crap about us fans again because we havnt posted. I’m sorry mate but you need to do one you really do. And again you say stupid stuff, you are basically saying you shouldn’t support West Ham unless you live next door to the stadium or unless your dad swept fag ends up 30 years ago.

The reason this site as you put it “has died” is because of the crap you put on here, you bore the life out of me. If you were in a room with anyone on this site spouting the crap u put on here you would probably get knocked out mate. You are a joke. This site has not died. But again people are going to react to your crap you’ve put on here, me being one of them and I really wish I couldn’t react but you are a complete muppet. IDIOT

You really are a piece of work Mike. Always seem to be looking for a fight. Not only have you obviously ignored or missed the posts on here about today’s game, but you take it upon yourself to be the self-appointed West Ham supporters’ spokesman. First you say unless you attend home and away games we are not real supporters. Then you say Oshee should support a different club. Now you insist if anyone wants to make any form of criticism they must do it elsewhere. This site is for all people to make comments as they see fit, not just the views that fit in with yours Mike.

Good to see you back on here Chelmsford, you weren’t the feller I was sitting with in the hotel bar last week in Fuertaventura were you! ?

Mike I chose to support West Ham in 1980 as a 10 year old, I’m Cheshire born and bred and live only 40 miles from both Liverpool and Manchester but didn’t want to be a sheep and support the clubs everybody else in the area did. My brothers the same but he chose Arsenal ….sad git! I like a lot of what you post on here buddy but disagree with that point you made.

Whitby, I haven’t seen anything Mike has put on here that warrants comments about wanting to knock him out ….

Tinlegs, you and your mates are glass half empty and have made many comments on here designed to wind people up. I get it a lot of you don’t like Moyes and his style of play but Mike is right in that the last 12 months on site have been toxic because of the constant moaning and whinging about Moyes, Sullivan, Brady, Kretinksky, Antonio etc etc . We are West Ham, The Happy Hammers, most people outside of Londons 2nd favourite team! Its bloody great following the Hammers! We’ve just won a trophy, have made a good start to the season, are playing in Europe again, will have some more signing coming in and life is good ……enjoy it boys! It could be worse, we could be Everton fans! ?

Come on Mike drop this bollocks about you've got to be chass&dave to support west ham I was born in tooting and lived most of my life in Chelsea my brothers support Chelsea and majority of my friends are as well I chose west ham and I'm delighted I did on MOYES i still believe he isn't the man to take us forward, also I said I didn't rate JWP and he had a good game but it's one win and if they had scored their penalty I think they would have beaten us comfortably but it's ifs and buts and you obviously think MOYES is the man for the job I think SILVA from Fulham i's the man or EMERY but it won't be changed but i would hold your views on us after one win but Mike everybody on this site wants us to win trophys and do well so it's time you took your gloves off as life's too short and I've been into disagreements with posters on here but afterwards you forgot about it, you take things personally and we should all be cheering us on as I'm excited if we can get KUDUS and MANVOPRANOS signed.

Dabber Hammer, no it wasn’t me mate in Fueventura, I was in Tenerife watching us against Bournemouth?
Whitby, I hope you weren’t referring to me by telling me to do one? I agree with a lot of your posts on here and have posted to say so? I was simply saying at well gone 11.00pm after the game on Sunday that no posters were giving any praise to the team for a fantastic win especially with only 10 for practically 30 minutes against a normally top 4/6 side?
I have never ever suggested ever that you can only ever be a fan because you are local to the vicinity or you attend games, because I don’t now because of age and health with the travelling!
I can remember posting to you how much I admired you supporting the ⚒’s travelling from Whitby to games, so if you were referring to me to do one, I take great offence to that, but hope you weren’t?
I will continue to be positive on here when I think we’ve done well and yesterday was certainly nothing to be Negative about at all in my view and I am not a DM fan at all but a massive win is exactly that in any shape or form⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒

I really enjoy this site and have a good read of everybody's posts let's remember it's a Banter page and we should just accept everyone's posts without getting rude about them and let's have a good laugh at the banter

Chelmsford I’ve got a lot of respect for you sir as I have a lot of posters on here. So no I wasn’t referring to you at all mate. Dabbed hammer, Mike is a complete wind up merchant, I was simply saying stuff like that gets a reaction, and for me he’s pushing all the wrong buttons. Clearly the bloke has a problem with people not being true supporters because we don’t have a london postcode. Yeah I am from whitby and yeah there are local teams to me leeds boro Newcastle but I chose West Ham as a 9 year old lad and took a hell of a lot of flack for it when I was growing up, but I spend a lot of money on a season ticket and travel and accommodation when I come down there between work. But look lo and behold, he puts crap on gets everyone all wound up. Of course we are buzzing with our team, but so what that we all didn’t flock to post on here, I don’t run to post on here when there’s bad things to say, if I feel like commenting, good or bad I will do it.

With just over a minute gone from ko, Antonio was on his arse. I thought to myself “here we go”. I was mistaken. He put in a shift and his goal was superbly taken.

Point taken Whitby. What a journey that is from Whitby to Stratford every other week, you must be knackered by the time you get home? Cost prohibits me from doing it as we have 4 teenagers to fund but once they all bugger off I’m putting my name on the season ticket list! ?

I’m going to wave the white flag of truce here as at 53 years of age I really shouldn’t be bickering with fellow Hammers on a forum. It’s after all a genuine love of the tribe, chosen through nature or nurture that drives all the comments on here, positive or negative. COYI ?

Not sure its NATURE or NURTURE my friend. Unless you attend every week your not entitled to your opinion, don't ya know. Only those that go to the games are allowed to express themselves on here! Well guess what IRONSMIKE, I can no longer get to the games for personal reasons, but I was going 55 years ago so I will say what I want and you nor anyone else will tell me otherwise!

Presonally, I don;t like MOYES and never have. Prior to taking over at WEST HAM, what did he ever win? He did nothing at UNITED, Sunderland he took down and his stint at SOCIEDAD was a disaster. Tactically he is very naive, he treats players disrespectfully (Benrahma, Downes are point in fact), he is indecisive in the transfer market and isn't the best morale booster, however, this is WEST HAM.OUR Club. It still will be when he is long gone, so we have to abide by the decision of those that pay his wages (GOD HELP US) . We want the best that we can get for our beloved club and when we don;t get it, we arn't happy because WE think we and the club deserve better. Sullivan is as much to blame. Yes he has invested in players, however, how many summers and January transfer windows have we sat by whilst we go through EPIC after DRAMA after EPIC every window and we have all seen it, again and again. INDECISION again and again by the board (SULLIVAN), Constantly TALKING about, PONDERING over, CONSIDERING a BIDDING FOR, MULLING and its every window. BACCA, ONANA, MAXI GOMES, VANAKEN to name but a few etc the list goes on and on. Fans are diapppointed and quite rightly frustrated and as such they have every right to say what they Damn well want to, even though they can no longer get to the games. What difference should it make?
