At least they still have an atmosphere at their ground
They are working on rectifying that.

West Ham have really only underachieved compared to their own overinflated view of themselves.
[-X[-X[-X I thought I'd copyrighted that joke. Outrageous.Woman walks into a bar and asks for a double entendre.
So the barman gave her one.
Couldn't disagree more, joke fans. The ultimate plastics.Man United shouldn't even be on this list tbh.
Couldn't disagree more, joke fans. The ultimate plastics.
But, when I talk to people and they announce they're Utd supporters their opinion becomes worthless to me. I have respect for West Ham supporters, of course they're dreamers, it's the nature of support, but cherry picking a team because they're winners as Man Yoo fans do rather than through any emotional attachment or for footballing reasons is the ultimate portrayal of a plastic fan. Nobody has ever accused West Ham supporters of being glory hunters, that gives them kudos in my eyes, nobody has ever accused a Man Yoo supporter of having a clue. :gav:But surely the meaning of a joke club goes beyond more than just the fans. They are anything but a joke on the pitch. West Ham tick every box when it comes to the idea of a joke club:
Owners
fans
performance on the pitch
history (or lack of it)
One of my pals FB thread, you have to love them
Him - Irons had 500,000 fans wanting tickets for the Play Off Final, but you have less than 2,500 tickets left for your first home game back in the PL. Don't want to see your the best supported club in England again.
WHU Fan - Bitter Yid
WHU Fan - No bitter and jealous yid
Him - Stating facts son!! Not bitter it's well funny
Me - We sell out every home game and have 40k on the St waiting list, how is Glenn a bitter yid because you cant sell your tickets, do kids for a quid again thats a wicked scheme ???
WHU Fan - Youve been lucky the past few years, you will be back bottom half of the season this year
WHU Fan - Are u still the second best team in north london ????
Me - Better than being the second best team in east london to leyton orien
Playing devils advocate for a bit here: Spurs can be a joke at times. Some of the DVDs we've released over the years are embarrassing. Sadly I found the goodness singing "shall we make a DVD?" to us in 2007 or there abouts quite clever.
Thankfully we're well run overall and there are some clubs who make odd decisions, but it's nice to have some perspective I feel.
Blackburn are fast becoming one; Jack Walker must be turning in his grave.
It's between us and Liverpool for the title of biggest joke club. I'd lean more to us at the moment. IMO a joke is one with elite status, CL or title pretensions but ultimately failing in some ridiculous barely conceivable scenario such as we did last season. Liverpool are certainly up there with us. West Ham are a scummy little club no one much cares about.
