Big clubs and how lucky the fans are

In the first of what we hope will be a regular feature, we asked fans of our Facebook page for a rant – and here’s one of those. Do you agree fans of big teams have it too easy?



As a West Ham United fan I have seen plenty of excitement, anticipation and quite a lot of failure in the last few years:

* Watching Avram Grant play what was our best striker on the wing, when he managed to relegate what I thought was a top eight team. 

* The season prior watching one man carry us through the entire year just to send me into hysterics in the 77th minute on April 24th 2010 when we beat Wigan 3-2 to stay up. 

* And now despite sitting third in the Championship, managing to play ultra defensive and being held to a 1-1 home draw against Doncaster Rovers.



But you know what, I wouldn't change it for the world.



I love my club despite all the faults it has, I see supporters who follow teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, United etc that moan after they lose one game and it's always the same story. I can't remember the last time I saw a Tottenham fan just admit they were beaten by a better team on the day.



It's either the referees fault or Harry has to go (which is diabolical thinking in my opinion). All these big teams in the Championship and Premier League need to realize the bigger picture and just look at some of the other clubs in our divisions like Wolves, Wigan, Plymouth, Port Vale, Blackburn, Nottingham Forest, Rangers, Luton.



In comparison their teams have a pretty bright outlook and future.
