James McCarthy

[Robertor]

To be honest, I do hate playing you lot. You have some sort of hoodoo over us. I'm not sure I would call it a jealousy, more just a dreading of playing you. We can almost never win, and we seem to be picking up a fair bit of injuries the last few times we've met (not saying this is due to any challenges, just bad luck). You lot could become a conference team, and Lukaku could become a quadriplegic, and you would still beat us and still Lukaku would somehow score against us. It's the same thing with Anfield for us (not comparing the two teams, just our results against both teams).

Social media is a terrible place to gauge an opinion of a fan base, especially twitter. I use twitter for transfer news, so have to wade through all the so called "banter" between all of the child-like fans of every club, Everton and West Ham included. Every fan base for the most part has a group of fans that have an undeserved sense of delusion, and West Ham is no exception to that rule. Twitter especially is an awful place for that.

For the most part, West Ham fans know their place at the moment. Most of us break the table up into a few sections:

1) Top 4: City, Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea (although Chelsea are doing their best to ruin this, and long may it continue!)
2) 5-7 (usual suspects): Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton
3) 8-10 (and potential newcomers into bracket 2.): Southampton, Stoke, West Ham, Leicester, Palace, Swansea
4) The rest

Now of course there are some teams upsetting the apple cart at the moment (Leicester, Chelsea, Liverpool), but for the most part, this is the blueprint I see the league in for the most recent past seasons. The top 4 is near impossible to break into, there is too much money there. It looks like there are some new teams coming in and trying to compete for the bracket 2, including ourselves, Leicester, Palace, and Southampton. In my opinion there is a fine line between ambition and delusion. We of course would like to eventually become a team that can gate crash the top 4-5, and that could happen with the move to the new stadium and the ongoing rumors of investment that will follow that move. You lot will probably believe that you should be able to break into that group as well, which is entirely possible. It will certainly be interesting to see how things develop over the next few years.

Of course, in no means was I basing my opinion of a whole fan base from social media, because as you say it's full of idiots. Especially that WestHamCentral account on Twitter. I was just interested in hearing your general thoughts on it.

Massive overreaction after the tackle, though. From tweets to McCarthy about IRA to people saying McCarthy targeted him out of jealousy of what a good player Payet is. Jesus Christ. Lads bringing Howard Kendall and Maddie McCann into it aswell. It's a shame that football fans of that ilk have a platform to spout horrible comments like that, it seems as if there's loads of them from each club, I've seen Everton fans do the same plenty of times.

not forgetting the childish tit who decided to mock howard kendall's death as if it had any relevance whatsoever. Twitter should go up in ball of flames, i can't think of one good purpose it has. Who really gives that much of a fudge if someone semi-famous favourites your post, or whatever goes on. All this hashtag rubbish, makes my blood boil. We've seen the disgusting vile treatment raheem sterling and his family has received from them, purely for wanting to make something of his life instead of being bogged down at a nothing club.

the same chairman who last week? shared a post looking for a "missing" person who turned out to be a midfielder he'd bought recently. Idiot, stick to the apprentice lord gold.

I've played my part, as small as it may be.

With a bit of luck McCarthy will see the dildo brothers walking down the street and take them out


Gold seriously looks like someone that goes on sex holidays to Vietnam looking for young boys

Don't think I've ever seen a fanbase moan so much over an injury before. Bunch of utter cry arses.

Indeed. In my experience, if they look like a paedophile they probably are. In conclusion, David Gold is almost certainly a paedophile.

Everton forum. Wow.

 

[dholliday]

James McCarthy tho'...bit like a less-attacking Thomas Müller in that it's his use of space that catches the eye more than anything.

 

[LAToffee]

I am now looking forward to West Ham coming to Goodison.
