"You might be needing this..."

I did wonder why there were suddenly so many new comments on this thread.

Now I know

The fans aren't special, they are just fans, like at any football club.

No.

Lukerz

Or maybe ALL fans of ALL clubs are special?

;hmm

I think all fan sets consider their fans are 'special', just like they think their club is special.

Objectively, I don't believe West Ham is a 'special' club. I don't believe it does much more or less than pretty much any other club.

I don't believe West Ham fans are any more loyal/committed/special than any other set of fans.

West Ham is special to me, because I love it, but that doesn't mean I expect everyone to feel the same about it.

SuzanneClaret

they are yes, to that club.

Charlton fans, clean, paint and repair the Valley every summer. They are special.

Lukerz

Exactly.

So Bilic probably considers himself having an affinity to WHU having played here for 18 months.

So he considers the club/fans special to him, like WHU is special to the fans.

It's the same for Gary Monk. He probably thinks Swansea fans are special, having played for the club a lot of his career.

Nothing wrong with what he said. It didn't come across as fake.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Luke ;ok

Who suggested it was fake?

Anyway, he's said the right/nice things, good stuff, long may it continue, should buy him some extra time if it all goes pear shaped (which I don't think it will). It's nice to see the vast majority of fans behind the Manager, it's been a while.

MrsGrey

Luke, I've not a clue whether he is being sincere or is he is saying what he thinks people want to hear as away of ingratiating himself. How would I know? I didn't venture a view on his motives.

My point is, it is not an opinion I share. ;ok

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Off Topic......(actually not sure it is)

Anyone noticed that when Ham posts a picture with 4 faces in it, he always clowns the 2nd from the left?

;hmm

SuzanneClaret

I'm special, but not in the way I think Bilic means ;biggrin

all this talk of being special just makes me think of this song ...

ASLEFshrugged

All this talk of special just makes me think of Animaniacs

"Our special friend....."

Alan Davies from 2:00 on being 'special'. (WARNING - adult material (albeit very funny...) on the earlier section.)

lgh

It's from the DVD of his Urban Trauma tour. We've got it, and it is hilarious.

He does a fantastic riff on cats.

The whole thing is on You Tube

@WestHamNews: John Hartson in line to replace Teddy Sheringham as West Ham forwards coach.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Excellent.

I suggest none of the strikers mess with him.

woosie

got us out of the mire ;bowdown

Slojo

Seem to remember Hartson being high on bulldozer and low on finesse would he fit in now ??

ASLEFshrugged

couldn't we get Di Canio then?

Gold, Sullivan and Brady all have Jewish roots, they've said that they can't work with PDC and his flirtation with fascism even if he doesn't really understand what he's said. No, no and no.. The boy needs to grow up a bit.
