People downplay all but the CL but winning any of the three European trophies back in the day was a major deal, whether it was the European Cup, Cup Winners Cup or Uefa Cup.
I just look on the present cups as replacing those.
Im made up for Hammers fans, great stuff

I agree. At this level a win in Europe is never to be sniffed at. A great achievement for any clubs fans.
I hope we are never in that competition, mind, but if we are I want to win it!!
Still a worthy pot to win :)

I think it will grow into a great competition, if only for the great away trips to far flung places. Hopefully less corporate than the CL. Well done to the Hammers anyway.

City and West Ham fans

I have always noticed that there seems to be a generally positive/more positive relationship between City and West ham fans than with other clubs. Just wondering if anyone knows why or when this started?

Fair enough, it goes back to before I was born then. Nice history lesson.

Actually my reason for not liking them isn't really a good one nor is it necessarily directly towards the club. I was born in Manchester but grew up mostly in London and grew up with a lot of West Ham fans, obviously they were young at the time too, so it's not like we had any sentimental reasons from decades ago. So I was always having back and forth with them and it kind of stayed with me that I liked seeing them get beat so I could have some ammunition as a kid.

Understandable
 
Occasionally drink in the Piccadilly central on match days and the lad on the door there is a Hammer, top guy. Happy for their fans, watching their celebrations last night made me 10x as nervous/excited as I already was about Saturday

Have to say, I was very envious of those Hammers fans last night. It must have been one hell of a buzz for them. I'd imagine there was quite a bit of ale sunk in downtown Prague post game. Hopefully, the blues who have travelled out to Budapest will have similar cause for celebration on saturday night.
