Oh, I'll probably laugh at them before that....that could be as late as December...Yep, not laughing at Spam until they play Lincoln. This is not done yet.
BBC now reporting on the fact that all Londoners will have to subsidise West Ham even more if they get relegated.

West Ham: London taxpayers could pay extra £2.5m if Hammers relegated
London taxpayers may have to pay an extra £2.5m if West Ham are relegated from the Premier League, because of the club's lease agreement for London Stadium.www.bbc.co.uk
The public got absolutely rinsed on this stadium deal.
By a miniscule and inconsequential amount.
Honestly, just filling space with absolute sh!t
Like so many things, there is this presumption that people give 2 fcuking big ones about sh!t. The BBC can fcuk off.
In this world of today, most stuff just happens, with Virtual Jo Public blissfully and ignorantly unaware but also beset by crap.

Honestly, I think a lot of it comes from the fact that rivalries aren’t always equal on both sides. Chelsea fans seem to view Spurs as one of their biggest enemies, while for most Spurs fans, Woolwich has always been the main rivalry above everyone else. That’s why it sometimes feels a bit forced from their side.What is it with their perceived rivarly and this notion from them that we are their biggest enemies? I'm been hearing this shit from loads of them for over a decade. I once has an argument with a bloke who said that I, as a Spurs fan, was talking shit, by saying the rivarly wasn't seen the same way by us!!
It's like they are without an opposite (such as we have Woolwich) so that have picked us out of the London clubs, and have now deluded themselves into thing we are a two way conflict.
It's terribly sad really, but where does it come from? The old holligan days maybe?
That IS GOAT!!!
It doesn’t and that’s why I wasn’t worried about relegation. Whether we got new owners was debatable but we would have changed the execs and strategy - but our revenue is 2.5x theirs so we have resilience and more players to sell eg VDV, Romero, Vic and Porro.As much as I dislike them, if they do go down, I have no doubt they will bounce straight back up , it might even make the current owners sell up , a season in the Championship, winning games and then coming up with new owners, hang on a minute that don't sound to bad does it.........![]()
Honestly our starting 11 is better than theirs even with our injuries. Their club has been run into the ground. They need lots of changes and a big bet on the club's leaders from the owner.It doesn’t and that’s why I wasn’t worried about relegation.

They need to half their costs and come straight up? Unlikely without a big cash injection / owner gamble

This is the headspace they all seem to be in.
Makes their final game that much harder.
Negative saturation and total resignation.
Will feed through to the players..
Good.

No wonder why Levy wanted the deal.Crazy to be able to rent that stadium for a pittance at £4.4m even at PL level.
Honestly, I think a lot of it comes from the fact that rivalries aren’t always equal on both sides. Chelsea fans seem to view Spurs as one of their biggest enemies, while for most Spurs fans, Woolwich has always been the main rivalry above everyone else. That’s why it sometimes feels a bit forced from their side.
Over the years, Chelsea probably looked at Spurs as the London club they clashed with the most consistently. Fulham and QPR never really had the same level, and rivalries with clubs like Liverpool or United were more about trophies than local identity. Meanwhile Spurs were nearby, competitive, and there was always tension in the matches.
The old hooligan era definitely added fuel to it too. In the 70s and 80s there was genuine bad blood between sections of the fans, and that kind of thing gets passed down through generations. Then the Premier League years made it even stronger with all the heated games, title race drama, and matches like the “Battle of the Bridge.”
But from a Spurs perspective, it’s hard for any rivalry to compare with Woolwich. That one is historical, geographical, cultural… it’s just different. So when Spurs fans say “we don’t really see Chelsea the same way,” Chelsea fans often take it badly because for many of them the feeling is very real.
So yeah, I don’t think it’s completely delusional from them, but I do think the rivalry means more to Chelsea fans overall than it traditionally has to Spurs fans.
