West Ham are definitely the club I despise the most in London mainly because their fans are utter amoebas who think they’re hard...

... but often lost when scraps started. What’s your opinion of them @Yid4life? Don’t mind Spurs by the way, but it’s not the best for a pint.

It's alright for a pint if you are with me.

West Ham were fearsome in the 70s and 80s and correctly regarded as top dogs in London and maybe even England.

Now they are a shadow of their former selves. Plenty have taken liberties over at their new place including us in the cup game last season.

But they still persist in the 30, 40...50 years (I lose track) undefeated nonsense which makes them look ridiculous.

Taken liberties... boss

The London rivalries baffle me. Spurs/Arsenal I can get. But Spurs hate West Ham and Chelsea as well, vice versa I assume. Chelsea and Fulham should hate each other, but dont seem to. They might I guess. Everyone ignores QPR, who probably hate Fulham.

Millwall and West Ham is bad news, and Charlton hate Palace, who hate Brighton, who arent even in London.

And everyone hates Arsenal. Even Orient.

Am I close?

When I say us I don't mean me, I'm ancient. I mean our 'Yoof' lot.

West Ham's main rival is Spurs
Chelsea's main rival is Spurs
Woolwich's main rival is.........Spurs.

Chelsea and Woolwich even have an anti Spurs sing song together at their matches.

Basically, if Spurs aren't involved it isn't a real London Derby.

Brentford and Fulham hate each other
Millwall despise Palace rather than hate them.
Rest is all true.

I see a pattern: have you ever wondered why you (as a fan base) are generally disliked?

Genuine question by the way as it’s not really about success. Again, the latter isn’t a jibe but an observation.
