Does West Ham losing actually ruin your week?

Shearer said today in one of his arsehole interviews on BBS "Newcastle fans love their football club through thick and thin. It's their life. It's what they work all week for. It depends on the result on Saturday if they have a good week or a bad week..."

I've supported West Ham my whole life, went with my dad and brother, now my kids and niece / nephew come... three generations...

...But I can't say it ruins my entire week if we lose. Maybe when we lost the Cup Final to Liverpool or get relegated but my week's mood does not depend on West Ham. Am I unusual? Or do Geordies just have nothing else in their lives?

Usually pissed off for an hour or so after the game and whinge to whoever will listen. if its a big game or we concede a 90th minute equalizer then usually ruins the day. I remember losing to Birmingham in the league cup semi definitely ruined my whole week though.

It used to ruin my weekend, but not now. Although I still avoid MOTD and the Sunday papers after a defeat.

Worst feeling I've ever felt as a West Ham fan was the FA Cup quarter final v Luton when Pottsy trod on the ball and Oakes went on to score to put us out

I was around 13-14 when that happened though, as the years have gone by it gets less painful as you have over things to worry about

When we lost to Millwall 4-1 ruined my year

Only a few games we lost proper kills me that was one and the FA cup defeat another both took a while to get over

Re: Does West Ham losing actually ruin your week?

I usually start getting angry when I see the team sheet. That usually tells what to expect so I have a few beers to watch the game. Before Christmas my mood got better and better each week and SA started to look human.

After Christmas it has gone back to getting my mood worse for a few hours. I run through my mind how it could have been so different without a Walrus running the team.

I know that's animalist but I don't care. I hate all Walruses...

Pisses me off big time an hour or so, also if we lose a big game, feel it again waking up on monday morning, for a couple of minutes,

Last time i cried about losing was ECWC Final vs Anderlecht 1976, was only 9 at the time in my defence.

Tears in my eyes a few times after winning, PNE, Blackpool

And Lionel Scaloni pissed me well off in 2006, remember leaving Cardiff in a daze, that game I've never watched again, even though ive got the DVD

From being the be all and end all when I was a kid, I'm usually down to being slightly miffed for about half an hour now.

I think the late injury time opposition equaliser is almost worse than losing sometimes, especially when it's Tottenham.

Well, it looks that way.

I couldn't get a ticket for the game, so plumped for my lounge in the suburbs of Brisbane.

You couldn't get a ticket for the game, so decided a McDonalds car park in Manchester was the next best thing??

We had a French exchange student staying with us. She may have learnt some extra vocabulary that weekend.

I was sitting in a car in a McDonalds car park in Manchester, rain on the windshield, listening to the radio commentary. It was one of life's low points.

Re: Does West Ham losing actually ruin your week?

I do remember where I watched that game and was naturally gutted afterwards. I seem to recall that we had a keen interest in another game, but cannot remember the exact mechanics of what combo of results we were looking for to stay up.

I was particuarly gutted as I hadn't long been in Asia, and knew that I wouldn't be able to see us play until we came back up again.

Re: Does West Ham losing actually ruin your week?

No, but that game does stick out for some reason, finished 2-2 and remember seeing the camera on a fan crying (maybe it was a young huffers?) and a banner with "we will be back", and then that cunt Bruce celebrating, then the broadcast ended and i was left sitting in the dark on my own feeling very dejected about football.

Dark days, but fuck knows what was for dinner!

Sydney - Do you also remember what you had to eat that day?

Re: Does West Ham losing actually ruin your week?

About the worse I have had in recent years was watching that game against Birmingham when we got relegated, its was about 4 in the morning, freezing cold and pissing with rain and I had a stinking cold and felt like shit but got up to watch that game in the faint hope we could survive, at the final whistle I remember thinking why the fuck do I bother and decided that was it with football, surely there was better things I could do with my time and get more enjoyment from and logged out of WHO for ever.

A week later I was back on WHO, looking forward to the next season

Not a week but it takes the edge off a day or two where i feel slightly low.

Re: Does West Ham losing actually ruin your week?

Not really, pissed off for an hour or so, then get over it, just got used to it to be honest and let’s face it, supporting West Ham it’s something that happens on a very regular basis.

One of the things in life that can never be changed supporting your team, even if you try and change loyalties its nie on impossible, not that I have ever tried.

Re: Does West Ham losing actually ruin your week?

If im honest the only time west ham losing has bothered me for more than a couple of hours after the game was when we lost to Bolton away when Roeder was incharge.

I just shrug it off, better things to worry about

Re: Does West Ham losing actually ruin your week?

When I was in my teens through to my early twenties it did.

Having grown up and assumed responsibilities, a West Ham defeat ruins the 2 minutes after the final whistle.
3 minutes if it's against Tottingham.
