West Ham ? The club with the bubble machine and pre recorded crowd noise ? They are certainly coming at this from the moral high ground !

The song is absolutely horrific but, quite frankly, it is entertaining.

It's a misguided attempt at showing their commitment to the club and their investment, and at least we can see that they are here and involved. I'd take that over the uncertainty of Anton any day.

At least we have a rich consortium of experienced business people in charge who are able to do this. I imagine a fair few clubs are jealous of the resources we potentially have at our disposal.

Sorry I actually like it and while there is a certain amount of cringeness brought on by the fact it's the corporate arm of the club doing it, at least it shows they care enough to do something that will increase the GLOBAL brand

Still need THE FANS to pick up on something by way of a club song though...

Nameless Not much point analysing it as if it was a serious piece of art ! It's a light hearted bit of nonsense and Eurovision is about the right comparison.
But the fact that our 70 year old crazy chairperson put it together does kind of bring a tear to the eye. Salina sure has embraced the club in a big way, let's indulge her and sing along (metaphorically). I'll live with this if she keeps giving us the likes of McShane, Vydra, Sa, Quinn etc etc etc


No doubt it'll be a number 1 in Thailand, isn't that what they're after though?

I note that West Ham fans are laughing....

How many football songs are NOT cheesy?

The woman's heart (and wallet) are in the right place.

Is this any worse than Delia's drunken call to Norwich fans?

IfOnlyWeWereRoyal Oh come on. Cutaways to clips of half-empty stands.....the rapping.... all that is missing are the FOAM HANDS.

It is cringeworthy. Fans across the country are laughing at us, and with some justification.

Yes, at least she had the excuse that she was drunk. This is much much worse.

But it's been and gone now and I doubt we'll ever see it again in the stadium. And the one time it was played nobody was taking any notice. So it's all harmless just so long as I never ever ever have to see or hear it again.

I take West Ham laughing at us with a pinch of salt, I never get how their song is supposed to be inspirational:
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams,
They fade and die.

Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

Particularly the bolded part, how the oxf*rd is that inspirational?

Why are you making such a fuss, it's a clever piece of PR by the owners that everyone will forget about in a few weeks time, and as for what other clubs think about us, WHO GIVES A TOSS!

I actually quite like it and think that the only thing missing from the video is SJM pole dancing whilst surrounded by scantily clad Thai ladyboys in African Violet thongs

It's certainly not as embarrassing as selling the club to a Russian without a pot to piss in, who then went and signed another Russian with a promise of a £50k a week pot to piss in............ that's what makes a laughing stock at times, not a harmless bit of PR by the clubs owners........... now grow up and move on.
