I am Italian, and I feel the same about Portuguese language (with Spanish, completely different, even if I can't speak it)It's the wierdest thing, as a Spanish speaker I can read Portuguese without too much problem but can barely understand a word when it's spoken. African and Brazilian speakers are a bit easier but those from Portugal itself sound almost Russian, as you say
I remember having to get of two stops before west ham station. Sometimes i would just change platform and get on the first train back. I just couldn't deal with it.It's all very enjoyable laughing at their demise and remind them that they are not west ham anymore, but i's also disappointing that this fixture is such a pile of shit as well. The day of this game in the past used to be a real intense day, the atmosphere in the air was always immense.
The ultimate dare used to be walking round their ground without getting noticed or spotted as a Spurs fan now you can walk in amongst them and freely around the entire area unchallenged. It's totally lost it's edge and is a bit of an embarrassment from their side.
That said, I will continue to take the piss constantly and remind them that they sold their soul.. That chant along with you're not west ham anymore annoys hem more than anything..
They really are a pathetic, sad shit stain of a club and an embarrassment to English football..
Rot in hell Pikey Boys..
Shot zones has gone from the majority outside the bix to inside the box. Why? No more patient, tedious build up play and playing out trom the back. It always gifted the other team time to set their defence up. Under Poch we were dependent on ability. Under Mourinho we also get tactical advantage.For the fans of stats:
These were the average playing positions against Sheffield:

It’s on a bit earlier tonight. 10.20.Talk about bad luck. I have two Liverpool supporters who flew over yesterday to share the weekend with me. It was going to be a boozy day with Spurs, then Liverpool match followed by the City game.
Hit the pubs at 12 noon....fucking power cut everywhere. No internet or TV . Came back on just before Liverpool game started. I was bouncing... just arrived home and trying to stay awake to watch MOTD.
Oh thanks for that mate....It’s on a bit earlier tonight. 10.20.
I'm having a good chuckle trying to picture how someone could possibly mime "where's your foreskin".Had a couple of hitler salutes, and just the two where’s your foreskin signs.

' you sold your soul. For this shit hole' you could see the collective wince from space
My day just got a whole lot better...cheersAnd we’re first up.
YepWere you there today Paddy?
Our stadium is out of this world prooer class. The olympic stadium already showing wear and tear. Its stranded in the midddle of nowhere. I remember going to highbury and always thinking no matter the pricks inside its a proper stadium. Well WHL is now the with out doubt the best ground in london. West ham is fucking awful.Were you there today Paddy?
I was in 119 behind the goal and the place was completely absent of tension. Its not west ham any moreWere you in the lower section or the Stevie Wonder stand?
I was in 119 in the lower.. How shit is the atmosphere, especially as this is their BIG game..
I was delighted to see:
- No Eriksen set pieces
- Hardly any playing out from the back or passing around the penalty area with onrushing attackers.
Why was it so hard for Pochettino to give those up?
Aye good. Adjusting to the new era. You know how it is.I’ve been in the pub all afternoon so I’ll try to give you a better answer later.
You ok?
