How come so many of our fans like them?

I've never liked them

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.

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.

wait till one of the cartel get in it
major wont be big enough word

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.

Pleased for them and for Moyes.

Fantastic result for them.

Only one thing that could be even more fantastic!

Budapest?

Budapest?

I'm glad someone spotted the deliberate mistake, I was getting worried.
