Another reason why I hate Wet Spam

Just reading the first two lines of this article

Unfortunately when i was a kid, this was what I heard in the playground time and time again. In my opinion a lot of our 'local support' went in this direction.

Of course anybody can support who they like, and most kids are influenced by who their parents support. Maybe we would have a few more regulars at Roots Hall if 'locals' supported us.

He followed the sheep and became a plastic spammer instead. I didn't even live in Southend and I saw the light.

Nob end.

 

[Kevin Hogg]

That opening line? He will just never know how it feels to support the greatest football club on the planet..in good times (rare) and bad (often).

Always a SHRIMPER!

 

[Streaky]

agree - nob end... this bit did make me laugh

Julian Dicks - My ultimate West Ham hero, he had everything you looked for in a footballer, skill, passion, determination, aggression and loyalty.

All he was good for was some pretty awful tackles...

ah man, this is too funny.... for me.

My (ex) flatmate penned that article, didn't realize it was going to be this far reaching :hilarious:

 

[thenobster]

who is the originator of this blog?

 

[chapperzUK]

Didn't bother reading past the first paragraph. What a knob!

"No I don't want to support Southend United! Liverpool? No I don't want to be a plastic fan or sheep ..... I'll just follow West Ham like everyone else at school!"

To put it simply .... :finger2:

I'm intrigued as to how all you guys stumbled on the article anyway, it was published on a West Ham site for starters.

I remember at my junior school there were pretty much no Southend fans on the playground, I actually supported Spurs as a kid.

Apart from me having to look at posters of Trevor Brooking and Frank McAvennie during the washing up it was a harmonious flat share so don't give the lad such a hard time.

I'll have you know I forced him to sit through our game against Gillingham on Sky last season and he may have even enjoyed it.

Is that why he is an ex-flatmate? :winking:

I hope he isn't being given stick, he made a choice as a 7 year old and , in fairness, he has stuck with it despite what many fans of "superior" teams would call lows .

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

The error of his ways is sticking with the wrong choice of clubs once he was old enough to know better. As a young kid I was influenced to support Wet Spam by my older cousin who lived a lot nearer to the Spammers in Hornchurch and went to most home games. But after 3 or so years of going to Roots Hall at around age 10, I decided it was SUFC who I really loved. However, if I was'nt actually going to Southends games who knows what might have happened. Got my Dad to thank really !

He was an Ipswich Town season ticket holder!

You never see anyone in a West Ham shirt that isn't clinically obese unless they actually play for West Ham.

Even 'playing' if you count Razor Ruddock !

Shame they're no longer sponsored by XL.com - it did rather make the average fan look like they were advertising their weight loss aspirations...
