Had a quick look, first reply I came across

Top four done I’m afraid, tears won’t stop.

This is the end.

Wow, absolutely amazed how much West Ham fans hate Arsenal and many of them were actually rooting for us.

Kinda proves that it's a bit of a manufactured modern rivalry between us and them tbh. No way would so many of them be saying that if it was a true traditional rivalry.

I don’t hate West Ham. I used to actually like them. I’m 53 and it’s only recently where they seem to hate us that has made the rivalry worse. I hate Arsenal, I also hate Chelsea’s fans ( most of them) but West Ham, no , I’ve got good mates who supports them and they’re fine about Spurs. I enjoyed their European run, obviously didn’t want them winning it though.

Today was perfect actually, win by 1 goal which was scored by a VAR awarded penalty. The perfect trigger for the haters.

Yeah this is exactly what I was referring to. I don't remember it ever being a proper rivalry but in the past 10-15 years West Ham fans seem to have decided that we're their 'scum' since they don't have any other natural rivals.

All feels a bit forced to me.

West Ham don't like us largely because we had a great record against them. They've got their share of wins in recent years though so maybe settled their hate a bit. We were their bogey team for a while so they always hated playing us.

Haha salty gooners. They again manage to completely ignore the two ridiculously soft penalties they got vs. Chelsea and Man Utd. This balances it up except both of our penalties were actually correct decisions.

I wonder if the lasagna-gate game shortly followed by the ridiculous 4-3 Stalteri comeback stoked something in them. That match was a bit of an all time classic and must've hurt a lot.

I take lots of comfort from the fact that even the pikeys are starting to realise what a bunch of arseholes the goons really are. Maybe the worms are finally turning...

Yep for years they hid behind Arsenal, as they couldn't take us on themselves
Now they're coming out a little on their own two feet, still in our shadow mind, ?
Hope they put Utd in the Conference

 

[soflapaul]

Just spent a few minutes in the Arsemnia forum and quite a few of them thought it was a penalty. A couple of the morons who create bulletin board material for the likes of us were firing back at the sensible ones accusing them of not being true Gunner fans, etc. When it comes to a sports team, you really can't pick who you will be associated with.

 

[DJS]

I can't believe they've censored Sonny ??

Just as pathetic and juvenile as their censoring of the word spurs.

They’re like children honestly.

They don't like Millwall at all... Only get a 'derby' with them, when they visit the championship every now and again.!

They also don't like us because we have signed several of their best players like Carrick, Kanoute, Defoe & Parker.

Such a shame we didn't get Bobby Moore who wanted to join too. They didn't like losing one of their own Paul Allen either ?

West Ham are 3 miles away and we share a fan catchment area. It’s natural.

I was wondering why Defoe isn't playing for Harry in Soccer Aid but probably not allowed in the London Stadium

There’s nothing natural about West Ham

I agree, but it’s about 7 miles to the Enormodome, Upton Park was even further mate.
