West Ham haters forced to eat humble pie
My favourite tweet is from Niall Harbison posted on 1st July last year.
“Football chairman are egotistical idiots. (West ham + Leicester sacking Big Sam + Pearson). I’d have both odds on to be relegated”
Well Niall, Leicester City lead the Premier League by five points and could well win the title while West Ham remain in fifth place just two points from fourth place and a champions league spot. We remain in the FA Cup just 90 minutes away from a FA Cup semi-final with Everton at Wembley.
Yesterday’s news that there are less than 500 seats left at the Olympic stadium brings a new set of opposition fans that can now find fame and be forced to eat some humble pie. They said we would never fill it, they said we were a small team, that we would be relegated before we got there that it would all end in tears!

“West ham board know that they won’t fill the stadium though, arsenal will never have that problem so they can keep upping prices”
“West Ham are going to be championship/league 1 by the time they move in, and will never fill the stadium”

“Don’t understand how West Ham got it. Small Club – they will never fill the stadium, because who really wants to watch a pub team???”
Sending some West Ham humble pie to over to you all soon to swallow with pride!
If you find any other amusing social media posts of yesteryear about West Ham let us know we would love to highlight them too.
