The ugly face of football, look at the grown men in the picture with their contorted faces and vile gestures. Never mind it was only John Terry. It seems the main focus now in England is on the downfall of Chelsea and the meltdown of Mourinho. They have taken over from Man U as the most hated club with the most arrogant fans so comeuppance is overdue. nb Our resident Man U and Chelsea fans are exempt from any criticism in that respect.

Don't think they've quite reached that level yet. :wink:

It's quite a mystery how they've gone from being such a good side to where they are now.
It's pretty much the same squad with a few decent additions.

Enjoyable nonetheless. :laugh:

Hold on, I think that may be going too far! :laugh:

To be more serious, for a moment, yes, I quite agree. Not exclusive to West Ham by any means, and not exclusive to derbies either. I wouldn't mind if there was an element of humour or 'ribbing' involved, but the pure hatred is one of the more disturbing aspects of football.

Fortunately the anger is relatively short lived, limited to 90 mins and possibly a few hours either side, . . . . . . . . for most anyway. :wink:
I would imagine that most of the people in this picture would struggle to effect that much anger in there normal daily routines. :roll:

I do like the way the ball boy has kept his cool and emotions intact though. :thumb:

Probably difficult for me to get my head around, as I'm far too sophisticated and refined to indulge in such crude behaviour...

The Spuds win 5-1 away.....Harry Kane scores a hat trick.....but no response from their "legions" of fans on the forum!

United v Citeh.....what a dour game......no shot on target from either side till 10 minutes to go ! :(

Aston Villa.....who would want that job ?.....they sold their two best players Benteke and Delph and have the look of a Championship side about them now.

Sorry Zidane - lost a lot of interest since you removed the lass with the sassy ass as your Avatar...........

Have to say of course that as a Spurs supporter it's great to see an away win with a 4 goal differential. About bloody time too! Also quietly delighting in the saga of the 'chosen one'.

Would just like to see the Arse slip up now - but that's not probably likely for a while.
All for now .............OK?

Tottenham win but not that impressive in my opinion, Bournemouth were shite, The mid-week loss at Anderlect is more a yardstick of where we are at!! It's a long way to Tipperary

Well,Chelsea seem to be making Moyes season at United a roaring success in comparison ! :wink:

Liverpool have a good manager now in Klopp and the future is looking a lot brighter for them.

Manchester United, one weak shot on target in 90 minutes against Palace. :( Why play the one player who offers a threat,Martial,wide on the left ? He should be the central striker.
Rooney looks completely fcuked and is playing like someone 35+.Hopefully Chelsea will sign him for 60m in January to renew his lethal partnership with Falcao ! 8)

Good away win for the Arsenal and Watford are,by far,the most impressive of the promoted teams up to now.

Very strange to understand what has happened at Chelsea. The pre-season was odd, played fewer games than any other team and clearly started the season off the pace and have never recovered. Plus we never bought anyone at the required level, which again, I don't understand and we are stuck in plan A, which as I said before is fine, when like last season, they are on top of their game, but is clearly failing when they are not.

A strength last season was the very rare changes made to the line up. This season, players come and go all to limited effect. And then there's Hazard - just what has happened to him? His only contribution yesterday was being substituted. Very, very strange.

Jose is clearly struggling and feeling the pressure and I sometimes wonder how much that has to do with his fathers illness, which Chelsea have been very supportive about. But either way, this season is pretty much damage limitation already and whilst all Chelsea fans were hoping he would stay for the longer term - and still hope - there clearly comes a limit to how long we can continue without an upturn in our fortunes.

Perhaps the Chelsea players are simply sick of Mourinho's abusive style, personality, everything. Wouldn't be the first time in sports a group of players simply didn't care and shut down. Pete
