TBH reading the west ham forums it seems quite obvious that there is a distinct dislike for us and us them.
I have never really had any particular dislike for the hammers. I was born in rush green just down the road (about 4 miles) from upton park and my dad is from manor park and mum from stratford. Both my grandparent lived for years in plaistow.
By rights i suppose i should be a hammer. In all honesty in all the years (20) i have been supporting southend united it has never once crossed my mind . Even in the darkest under little and martin did i consider it and have never visited upton park other than when watching sufc play there.
I was raised in leigh and the first game i watched was sufc and have loved every minute since.
What has always irked me some what is that there are so many hammers that harp on about the east end or talk like danny dyer on a matchday whilst slating the likes of southend and live in hockley or the like.
These same people pore scorn over essex the county where they live whilst bigging up east london a place they visit every other saturday and have never lived.
Whats that about?
Then theres the " We won the world cup" statement. Yes you have had some cracking players of the years and yes you did have players that played and won the world cup but it was england not the hammers that one the world cup.
Also there seems to be a huge amount of west ham fans stuck in the 80's. Please can someone tell them that gold chains soverign rings and track suits have no place in 2012.
So lets get real
We (I) dont see you as a rival as we have hostorically hardly met except in the cup.
I am not a fan of people who **** on there own doorstep. Dont slate essex and southend fans as you live in essex and these people are your neighbours friends work colleagues.
I bear no malice to the hammers. You do your thing in the premier and we will do ours , but dont roll up at our ground and behave like arseholes because thats how you will be treated.

(ps) I still laugh at 30k grown men singing im forever blowing bubbles . Unique , but so bent.
