Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

[TheChosenOne]

Rumours they’re in for Sami Nasri now...

West Ham and Nasri deserve each other.

Dopes and a doper. 100k per week. Madness.

The thought of Hernandez and Nasri on the pitch together. They'd be on the floor all the time.

Proper West Ham signing he would be!

Dunno what it is about them but they seem to sign more past their prime players than most teams that come to mind.

They're channelling* Allardyce and Redknapp.

*not a euphemism

On 14 April 2018, Tom Ince scored a last-minute winner at home for Huddersfield against Watford.

Since then, no Huddersfield player has scored a goal at home, their only goal coming from an own goal last Monday.

That's a record that has lasted 6 months, 25 days, 22 hours, and 14 minutes.

Today's opponents were West Ham United.

Alex Pritchard scored after 6 minutes.

I wouldn't bother mate, it's a shitehouse.

I'll save my money for our New Stadium buddy ???

West Ham are basically us 20 years ago.

True, which must be quite encouraging for them. In twenty years time they can expect champions League football and an amazing new stadium. That's assuming that they don't do something incredibly stupid like selling their ground and pissing off their entire fanbase.

Their fans cant really moan....In 20 years time they'll only have 70 odd more years left at the thunderdome.

I absolutely love how you describe these things, your delivery is always fantastic

Exactly, they should look on the positive side. In future years their great great grandchildren can see them become homeless at which point they can go back to playing their matches at the public park in Plaistow where the club played their first matches. Exciting times for a club that values it's history as much as West Ham.

I assume they won't have replaced Noble by then... They don't need another hero after all.

Very appropriate considering the films description "he is rescued by a band of feral orphans who have been looking for help for years"

Nobs is Mad Markx

 

[VegasII]

Rather than being mistaken for Captain Walker, Mark Noble actually is Captain Wanker.

Wilshere is their new hero.

Now THAT is a classic West Ham signing You couldn't make this shit up

My mate is a white collar boxing promoter. He had a show at York Hall in Bethnal Green yesterday in aid of Dylan Tombides 38 Foundation. Dylan was in & around West Ham's first team squad until he sadly died aged 20 I think, of testicular cancer. The event, for his charity foundation was a big sucess. I took my 2 young Son's aged 13 & 11,they are massive Spurs fans, but pretty much every boxer in the 15 bouts were West Ham & the place was crawling with their fans. Jermain Defoe & Declan Rice were there & both of them were a credit to their profession. The boys had their photos taken with them both & I'm very proud to say they badgered Rice into joining "a big Club in the Summer, best Stadium in the country etc..." , Defoe loved it. Like I said they were two top top blokes, and I echo my boys request as I'd love Declan Rice to join us this Summer on a free

It's truly their crowning glory moment on the road to becoming the most retarded football club of all time.

Apologies to anyone who may have mentioned this in the last 800 odd pages.

I was looking at their bubbles song; I've always found the following highlighted lines really odd:


I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams they fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

Why on earth does a sports team proudly belt out that their dreams soar high then fade and die??? and to top it off, they admit that fortune is always hiding... well... too right, West Ham's dreams are ridiculously high and their fortune always seems to be hiding... but they're proud of this?

I thought perhaps there may be some underlying reason so I had a wiki (which I appreciate isn't always reliable but should be for this):

Turns out that a former manager 'introduced' the song in the 1920s. One of the players had a nickname, Bubbles because he looked like a boy in a painting called Bubbles which was used in a soap advert. Some headmaster then began singing it when the players played well. It picked up from there.

So I can see how it formed as a bit of a joke between a few guys. But for it to pick up steam with a load of fans who weren't really part of the inside joke with those ridiculous lyrics is crazy. You'd think they would give it a bit more consideration before growing it in a big way.

And now, every time I go to Stratford as an away fan, or see them on TV, I can't help but laugh when they come out of the player's tunnel proudly to a song that basically says.... 'We're sh*t.'

What a club.
