Seriously though, I'm starting to warm to Dexter's idea of giving all the kiddy on EPL fans there own forum. I was under the impression this was a FOOTBALL message board that was for all things connected to football, but mostly Hearts of course. I'm not as you say a "kiddy on" EPL fan. I have a soft spot for West Ham United due to family connections. I don't consider myself a supporter as I believe you can only "support" one club which is of course Hearts, many others on here have similar affinity with other clubs apart from Hearts.

Do we really think as many English fans adopt a Scottish team? I doubt it somehow. Beyond diddy behaviour. Yes. My entire anglo based (West Ham supporting) family all look out for our results. When talking to English people on holiday I find the majority of them have a "soft spot" for at least one Scottish club, although they tend to be a bit clueless about the game in general up here. As I've already stated you can only SUPPORT one team but where is the harm in wanting a team in a different country to do well in their league.

Yes, but it's a bit irritating when folk continually talk about it on what is supposed to be a HEARTS forum, whilst hiding behind the "Football related" rules. These, and other threads, have really dragged KB down over the past few months and I'm glad the mods have started to take action.

gorgie_rebel Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Already got tickets in the bag for Blackpool away in November and Sunderland away is looking like a possibility this season. Will also get down to Upton Park but not sure when yet. Try and get to see West Ham a couple of times a season. Great opportunity to hook up with freinds and family and have a good old fasioned knees up me old china.

It's possible (probable) that a few people don't like these topics but I hardly think it can be considered demeaning.

As I've said, the number of people hiding behind the "general football" rules in order to wind up people whose principle/sole interest is HMFC has multiplied over the summer.

It would appear that you are the only one on this thread that could be considered on the wind up. I, like most others am not obsessed with any other league (overrated or otherwise) I just take a healthy interest in football outside of Tynecastle. doesn't make me less of a Hearts fan.

Del1812 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Loving West Ham right now. Rolled over in the 2nd half against Bolton to help me win a coupon at the weekend. Sneaked past Oxford to keep my midweek coupon going another night. Who they got on Saturday? Away to Man Utd? Man Utd handicap. (-1) is 2/5. (-2) 21/20. Thoughts folks?

I P Knightley Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 No. They're much better that that, even going by recent performances There was a time when I kind of tolerated them, with a couple of good pals being Hammers but I really hope West Ham go down this season. I've hoped it for the last 4 or 5 seasons; ever since they paid ?5.5million for Premiership survival with the Tevez hoo-hah. If that was justice, then I'm a banana.
