Can someone explain this artificial rivalry? We are geographically distinct and never remember any issues we had with them...

I thought it started when Levy wouldn't sell them Adebayor. Gold and Sullivan threw their toys out of the pram and said they'd never sell to us again.

I think it started with us buying Defoe, Kanoute, Carrick etc. They thought of themselves as equals, and we started using them as a feeder club.

It's way older than that .. I had an old school West Ham co-worker a long time ago and they really hate us, really see us as their rival and I was utterly shocked .. like ok, not sure I really care but if you say so ..

You also see it when you go to games, when I'm in season groove, I'll turn up at stadium and be "why the fudge is there so much police?" and then remember, oh, we are playing West Ham.

It's definitely more one way. As you say they hate us.

Levy and Brady definitely don't get on. And I can't imagine Levy gets on or relates to someone like Sullivan.

Plus we have had our fan clashes in years gone by
 
He's not worth the quoted 65m plus at all. Would like to think with our improved scouting we can find someone who can hit double figures in the league for goals and assists (something he has failed to do) for half the price:

I think it was before this that they wouldn't sell us Bellamy even though he wanted to come to Spurs and we agreed to pay the transfer fee they demanded, they ended up selling him to Emirates Marketing Project for a lower fee than we were offering.

Whatever the reason, it doesn't help that their actual close London rivals Millwall and Leyton Orient are at different levels so they needed to find someone to have 'beef' with....
 
Kudus has amazing qualities. Issues are fitness and maybe discipline (see our game). It is a bit left field but he must tick some boxes for the profile we are looking for. And he really wants to come to us apparently.

In terms of WH fans. Their hate for us is visceral. We just think they are spanners

The resemblance to a 1930s fascist poster is definitely purely coincidence
