Stoke v Spurs match thread: http://talkingballs.uk/index.php?threads/stoke-v-tottenham.38384/
Well it's only right that the old Upton Park (What's all this Boleyn Ground bollocks about? I've been a football fan for 40 years & have hardly ever heard it called that,even by Happy Hammers I know,until this season) should bow out in the same way we always remember it...as an intimidating shitehole inhabited by knuckledragging wankstains looking for a fight.
Isn't that the whole point of these occasions? Celebrate your history & traditions as a chapter in that history closes? They were probably just re-enacting the bricking of some rival firm on Green Street Market in the 80s.
Clubs always like to waffle on about "doing it for the fans" on these occasions so here we are...West Ham fans doing what West Ham fans do best.Mindless violence & intimidation.
Got to love tradition.Brings a tear to the corner of the eye.
The only time I have ever been beaten up at a football match was by West Ham 'fans' back in the late seventies. Seems that for some of them nothing changes.
