Fans' Favourite
I lived in Essex for many years, and most people I knew were Hammers. I have to say, they were really all right, with none of the pretensions and arrogance of the other major London clubs. Far more likeable than Chelsea, Spurs or Arsenal, surely ? Plus, they've made a vital contribution to English football history and culture.West 'Am are a funny club. Not one I have much issue with [ no idea why we would upset some of their support so much to be honest ] - but I do have a real grind with their horrible one song about bubbles....its a terrible dirge...on a par with Wendy Saints as the worst football chant of all time. And it's all they bleeding well sing! For that alone....that should be a Room 101 entry.
As others have said, there's a strong DNA link between WHU and AFCB. I recall that for a while we were nicknamed West Ham On Sea !
