Being a team that perennially need to sell their big name players due to our regular dalliances with relegation, I have compiled a list of ex- Hammers and my attitude towards them. Normally these opinions are formed by the terms they left the club, with honour, putting club on a par with their own interests or slinking away in a vile self-serving cowardly manner.
Paul Ince. HATE FIGURE – its been so long I don’t even remember why but it was a reflex to boo him whenever possible
TEVEZ, love. single handedly saved West ham last season (with Mark Noble). Even though it took eight ninths of the season to get the engines running.
Jermaine Defoe. HATE FIGURE. When we were relegated, “no one came in for” him. We soon got wind something was up when he withdrew from an early round of the FA Cup and then snuck off to Tottenham, where “sadly” he has spent most of his time warming the bench. HA HA.
Paolo Di Canio LOVE. A real pro, (fascist tendencies aside) ” I keel myself for West Am” a phrase often used prior to his departure.
Lamps.HATE. smug self satisfied , couldn’t get away quick enough. Who ate all the pies?
Michael Carrick LOVE in a neutral kind of way. Stayed with us in the Championship, played in a play-off final then left with honour intact.
Nigel Reo Cocker HATE. Snivelling coward, Wouldn’t speak for the team as captain last year. Didn’t galvanise the troops instead slunk in the background biding his time to make the leap. Gutted we avoided the drop as it made his wish to leave all the more transparent
Joe Cole Love.
Luton Town FC. HATE. Still haven’t forgotten those semi final defeats in the Milk Cup in the late 80s. Bastards.
Rio Ferdinand LOVE. Made to go by Arry Redknapp. West Ham tru and tru.
Trevor Brooking. Everyones fave uncle. the boss, the best, the dogs. LOVE LOVE and thrice love.
Hey fans, any others come to mind?
different point entirely, from different comments.
Hmmm, slagging off Ardiles and Villa for being Argentinian yet bigging up Tevez for saving your skins last year. Can’t deny you’re a West’am fan…
