Even so, after 47 years as a fan of this great club I have to disagree with your sentiment as being somewhat outdated now. It is true of course that during the sixties we were preoccupied with changing the way the world played football under the guidance of the legendary Malcolm Allison and Co. and gained the reputation of Academy rather than Champions and that as you suggest quite rightly has been with us ever since. Now I feel we have not only the right men in AC and BG as guardians of our fine traditions but also as likely future champions. As for Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea we do not want to be like them, why would we? BUT we are WEST HAM UNITED and feelTHREATENED feel really THREATENED!!!!!!

Being a West Ham fan sets us apart from the herd. It's about doing things the right way and appreciating the journey and not just the arrival. Nice to know that Mr Lorenzo reads these responses too. Interesting to see Dave Grohl listed among our celebrity fans. That's made my day! Good article. Being a West Ham fan sets us apart from the herd.

What a side we were, many of those players are legends now. West Ham have always played entertaining football & i hope we continue to. I have a lot of mates from other teams who have an underlying respect for us. A lot of people think Curbs has done well but can't take us to the next level. I disagree. I think he can in time. I reckon the good days are going to come back. Booby Moore was the best player i ever saw. He was so calm & his tackles were timed to perfection. I used to go to the Odeon movies to watch Buck Rogers for sixpence all morning Sat. then football in the afternoon. Ah, those were the days. Good luck. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vk0A9KLxXFY Hello Matthew, i remember the sixties too. What a side we were, many of those players are legends now.

Most neutrals love the way we play. The same way Newcastle fans will be happy what great footbnall - if not title-winning football - under Kevin. I reckon a few of you are a little too young to remember five-alls against Chelsea, and nearly double figures against Newcaslte. That's the West Ham way, and it makes me happy. So don't go for the idiot Statto approach,- don't put yourself with Arsenal, Liverpool and United. Instead remember what Ron Atkinson told me in 1986 when my dad died. I said "The sad thing, Ron, is that he'd going to miss West Ham's title year." He looked ill at ease for a while and then said "I'll tell you what sunbeam, you'll f***ing miss that one..."

Even my favourite game, when THE Frank Lampard scored with a that banana-header and ran over to me(?) and frolliked with the corner flag! Outnumbered three to one we were, by Evertonians, but what an evening; lost my voice forever, but it was worth every second, despite never fully regaining it. figuritively and literally! There is far worse, however, than being accused as being a QPR fan, that I can assure you! SJ I’m with everything you type, Matthew!
