On the pitch Arsenal off the pitch Chelsea , West ham hate seems to have happened over the last 20 years .
Those of us who were battling them over 20 years ago would argue differently.

I couldn't believe MOTD showed all the "possible penalties" including the Sanchez block that was in no way a handball.They're not really talking about us on KUMB, more their own performance, subs etc. Most of them seem to think for some reason that they matched us all day though.
Kind of like how MOTD presented the game... if you saw that highlights package last night you'd think it was an absolute smash and grab from us.
Harry Kane. Scores two. Hits woodwork twice. Absolute MOTM performance. Let's see what West Ham Central thought, shall we?

Been a huge critic of Ogbonna lately but I thought he handled Kane well.
Seriously?
Now there are only three possible reasons I can see for this tweet. Either
(a) he has an incredibly low opinion of his team's general ability to defend - which is fair enough
(b) drugs - drugs are bad, don't do 'em, kids.
(c) he bumped into this guy as he left the OS

I'm going with (c).
Probably the only way anyone can bear to follow West Ham to be fair.

Yet failed to show Alli getting axed down which was the most clear cut penalty shout of the entire game.
Not to mention that if you don't actually know the scores beforehand (albeit that's less and less common these days) it makes it extremely obvious what's coming.Utterly predictable I'm afraid, I said it to the wife before they started that they'll end up making this look like West Ham were robbed.
Their main agenda with their highlights seems to be to tell whichever story they've decided they want to tell for that game, rather than try to reflect what actually happened.
There was a cringe-worthy moment in Guy Mowbray's commentary last night where in the aftermath of the third goal, he said "Well it should be plain sailing for Spurs from now until the end." Why would you even say that? Why are you trying to pass that off as something you've genuinely said and not something you've added afterwards to try and make yourself sound clever/dramatise the game?
Why they bother to add these kind of silly and extremely-obviously-added-post-game comments to the commentary track I have no idea. It's tiresome and patronising for viewers.
And if they show a bog standard yellow card you know that player is getting another booking later in the game.Not to mention that if you don't actually know the scores beforehand (albeit that's less and less common these days) it makes it extremely obvious what's coming.
Was getting weird vibes off this match. Wasn’t sure if it was just me being a spurs fan but the media seemed to really want West Ham to win this. They seemed actually disapointed that they didn’t.Utterly predictable I'm afraid, I said it to the wife before they started that they'll end up making this look like West Ham were robbed.

West hams hate goes back longer than that I'm nearly fifty and it's been like it all my life, they resent us but don't know why.

Nah I grew up in the east end in the sixties went to Upton park with my mates if we was away would have never gone to watch Chelsea or arsenal , spurs have always had a big fan base in the east end. Imo arsenal always the main rival and then Chelsea especially of the pitch . I hate arsenal but despise Chelsea but maybe it's because I grew up amongst West ham fans I have a kind of respect . Anyway that's my take on it ,someone else may see it different

Really really odd

Same as my old man. Lived in brentwood though (my nan and grandad from wapping and Stepney) and used to go and see West Ham sometimes.
Bethnal Green is Lillywhite
Don't forget this was the game last year where Rachel Riley and her little crew of Sky pricks admitted they were jumping around the studio celebrating when West Ham scored, despite none of them being West Ham supporters.
Right, because West Ham are such a lovely club, and everyone wants those nice guys at Chelsea to win the league at a canter, yeah? It was literally offensive to me when she admitted that and came out with the "legends" line.
The media should be praying on their knees for Spurs to be successful and win stuff given we're the only team competing at the top who actually don't pay obscene amounts of transfer fees or wages, who aren't owned by foreign criminals, who bring through young English players and actually give them a chance, who conduct ourselves with respect and maturity, and who play some of the best football in the country. They should be all over praising us as the absolute example for English clubs to follow.
And yet we're mocked, ridiculed, Sky spend every minute trying to sell our players, and everyone in the media seems to want us to lose every week. It's pure jealously because we've done things the right way that no other club has achieved and we're right on the verge of becoming something really special. It scares people and these people are also morons.
Honestly, football sucks and can literally go fuck itself. I was done with listening to any of them a long time ago.
That's the sort of post that would usually provoke me to compose a sarcastic, eye-rolling response about paranoid Spurs fans.
But most of what you wrote is actually true. Blimey.
[Except the misuse of the word "literally". That drives me fucking mental.]

The rivalry is what it is for different folk. No doubt the North London Derby is the best in London imo however between the two sets of supporters it's a healthy banter you never fill threaten physical.
Chelski and Wet Spam growing up was different. I personally felt a violent racial undertone and real hatred slightly less from Wet Spam, in a wired way with Wet Spam there was an appreciation of both clubs philosophy and style of football played between the two clubs.
I wonder how the dynamics are between Arsenal Chelsea West Ham. (address their correct names)
Noticed this as well. And also thought it was added afterwards - in the way a soap opera trailer will hint at a twist. There was no real controversy. The goals were clear, the red was clear, the pattern of play was fairly straightforward but they had to create some drama somewhere. Sky were, apparently, the same, with their penalty claims and Pardew/Redknapp commenting afterwards but the feed shown around the world didn't focus on any of this stuff.
