Thumbs down Another typical day for a West Ham fan.

After the way they`ve mucked us up all season and strung us along right to the end to snatch a play-off place when one seemed (to say the least) unlikely (though with a better manager we would probably have got AUTOMATIC promotion, anyway), it`s almost predictable that Hammers would go 2-0 up with home advantage in only 13 minutes against the tractor-boys, to throw it away and draw 2-all. I despair, but let`s just hope in the away leg.......

Re: Another typical day for a West Ham fan.

Nick Hornby had a whole book-full to say about the frustrations of supporting a football club through thick and thin times. I'm trying to remember what he called it. Fever Pitch. Did you read it? Was it a fair likeness?

Re: Another typical day for a West Ham fan.

Not wishing to stoke the fire at all but I hope Ipswich win the play offs. I don't support them, I don't really like footy to be honest.
The way I see it is they finished 12 points ahead of west ham in third place, it would be justice done if Ipswich went up.

I don't agree with the play offs, it's the same in rugby Union. They ahve a play off now to decide who are rhe premiership champions.
I always thought the team who finished top were the champions but obviously not

Can you imagine what the reaction would be if for example Chelsea and Arsenal were asked to have a play off even though Chelsea are a zillion points ahead of Arsenal? Not fair is it?

Re: Another typical day for a West Ham fan.

Floncey you are right, Leicester finished top by several points and get done by wasps, same B******s that did my mighty Glos a few years ago, although I did enjoy Back flattening Worsley.
John, I hear that Mr Rennie had a hand in your defeat, it will be a struggle against the Tractor boys but come on you irons, what about the baggies, outstanding, Boing Boing.

Re: Another typical day for a West Ham fan.

I was very surprised that West Brom were the survivours but well done to them

It's Saracens for me by the way Nice to find someone else who enjoys rugby.

Re: Another typical day for a West Ham fan.

What did you make of Neil back's punch on Joe Worsley, although I hate both Wasps and Leicester with an equal passion I thought it was a cheap shot.
On Saras I though Hill had a great game I hope he stays fit for the lions

Apparently Worsley needed 13 stitches following the punch so he must have hit him quite hard.
I only really saw it on the news, as I didn't watch the game on Sunday.

I'm sorry I seem to have turned this football thread into a rugby one, I'll go and start another about rugby.
