The WHU game is massive, there...I said it.

It's now as big as the Arsenal game. I don't think it's ever a good thing to be snobbish towards any team.
It's not even close imo. If we lose tomorrow I'll be disappointed, but I know it's a tricky game, and a game we can afford to drop points in. If we lose to the goons, though, I'll be absolutely devastated. First of all, I hate losing to Arsenal. But more importantly, it's second vs. third, and possibly the biggest game in my lifetime. I can't see any West Ham game in the forseeable future coming even remotely close to that.

Three points at this stage with 11 games left is what it's all about, every single game is massive.... Regardless if it's WHU Arsenal Swansea.

The next game is the biggest that's how we need to look at things not bypass and just think Arsenal.

Fuck it.

This game is massive. It's as big as every game this year.

But sorry West Ham, it's not because of you. I couldn't give a shit about you this year.

It's massive because of us, because we are striving to achieve something special . Because we are fighting for something that many of us haven't experienced before and something your little club hasn't the slightest chance in hell in achieving, or even imagining.

so yes this game is massive. Every remaining game is. But don't kid yourselves that you're the important factor in this:

It's Poch, the boys, a dream and the situation we are currently in.

It's about Spurs.

I think that is what pisses them off the most.

Exactly. We could beat West Ham and Arsenal lose to Swansea. That then means we could lose to Arsenal and still be ahead of them. Why would anyone chose to wager it all on one game? They're all huge, no question

It's lasagnagate again. That wasn't about them either. It's never about them. Time to right the wrongs

It's funny, got a Forest fan in our office, probably the only person I've met not enjoying Leicester doing well. He was like, "They're a nothing team desperate for a rival - they always want it to be us, but we have Derby."

Which made me think that for them, Leicester winning the league is like West Ham winning for us. Then it made me want us to win the league more.

Not for us, you understand, but for Forest

With regards to West Ham and the 'rivalry', Jenas pretty much sums it up for me

https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/je...ottenham-derby-is-even-greater-121921202.html

Playing Tottenham seems to rile up West Ham like nothing else - something that when I first went to Spurs I didn't really understand.

I still don't in some ways. Tottenham's number one derby will always be Arsenal. If any derby intensified in the years that I was at Spurs, it was the one against Chelsea. But the players never viewed West Ham as one of the big derbies, and that's probably one of the things that infuriates West Ham fans.

I even remember having conversations trying to work out what the West Ham thing was all about. Granted, they were close geographically, but so were Charlton, for example. I didn't get the hatred they were trying to create, which I didn't feel ever materialised from Tottenham's end. The biggest derbies remained Arsenal, followed by Chelsea, and I don't think it's any different now.

Very true, I quite like Jenas now. I feel he would have benefited massively from a coach like Poch, good technically and a tremendous engine, would have fitted in well in our team now.

Jenas just gets better and better

Yeah I think he would have thrived

Almost deserves its own thread :p

Oh I dunno. I cannot stand that club and it's fans are amongst the worst type. For me personally, they are my no 1 dislike, West ham. There is literally nothing that is likable. Smashing them is joyous to behold.
