Taken this from another website i use, A west Ham fan describes our 1-0 victory in December:
WELL DONE STOKE
I don't think you'll turn round and say you're a great team because you're not, but you had a game plan last night, stuck to it and every player worked their bollox off for the cause. You should be proud of your team, and the supporters who made it down on a freezing cold night and sang their hearts outs.
As for us, I'm absolutely livid. I'm currently working in Cardiff and travelled down to the game (skipping the afternoon off work) with the plan to travel back after the game. The engine overheated, I got back at 4AM...
Anyway, West Ham. What an absolute pile of shit. F*ck knows how them c*nts can be happy when they pick up their tens of thousands of pounds each week when mugs like myself, and the 25,000 other fans (lowest attendance of the season) have to sit through that. We were absolutely dire, really, really, really bad. I haven't seen such a poor performance for a very long time. Stoke were first to everything and right now I'd rather have eleven Akinbiyi's on the pitch, a player who played with his heart on his sleeve and never gave up, then our bunch of overrated, overpaid clowns.
I hope they took a long hard look at themselves in the dressing room, massively booed as the final whistle went with West Ham emotions running high. Stoke on the other hand got clapped off, a gritty, determined display that summed up all the qualities that make English football what it is. We're going no where if we play like that again, I'm still fuming now.
F*cking f*ckers, I'll still be there Saturday though.

Think that should be used in a summary of our season.
I think we are a good side however!
We're a bloody good side.

nice one smeegs - i'd say he was being pretty fair  my 6 year old was our mascot that night, and she had a great night, and west ham were very good hosts (going so afr as to ensure we got the 3 points  ). i've actually been keeping quiet about he being mascot as i didn't want to jinx the subsequent run, but it was great to be there. we were shown into the team's changing room before KO, where TP was giving it the old "now fucking cover him, right" - he turns to see the little girl and goes bright red, and apologises!! rudgey took her and introduced her to the team one by one. last thing we said was "good luck lads", and they then went and stormed it. what a night! |

At last, Akinbiyi gets some of ther credit he deserves. He does put in 110% and rarely any less. All that ever happened was his confidence took an extreme bashing upon his goal 'dip' at Leicester, but he has built himself back up and TP really has him fired up. Becoming something of a current hero last season and people calling for us to sign him can't have done him any harm. And so i repeat, at last someone puts the stereotyping about him past themselves. I must admit, when we first signed him last season, i wasn't sure, but didn't get on his back like many Stokies and look what good its done!

I think its good when other clubs praise a smaller team (compared to west ham) like us!
They're the sort of fans you could have a drink and a laugh with before the game. Top bloke!
