The_Rev Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 As a non Swede can I get the TLDR on this Hammarby - Malmo rivalry? Geographically they are about as far apart as Southampton and Newcastle are in England so there can't be anything local, are they rivals for honours ever or are Malmo fans just sore that Zlatan decided to invest his money elsewhere?

NoelVilla Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Absolutely no rivalry. Hammarby is a small club in comparison and haven't won much at all. Some Malmo fans are disappointed in Zlatan and his relation to Malmo FF is now broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter. Zlatan is rooted deep in the immigrant-rich part of Malmo, massive hero to them. The only recent spark between the clubs is a (tasteless) banner about 15 years ago that Malmo-supporters put up on a away game, saying a bunch of old Hammarby legends where alcoholics and now dead. It kicked off pretty bad after that game. Hammarbys only real rivals are the other two Stockholm clubs AIK and Djurgarden. When it comes to trophies it's like comparing Man U and West Brom. Malmo has 20+ and Hammarby 1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Reading on ESPN that the statue has since been set on fire? Edited November 27, 2019 by Hornso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) And one of his homes in Stockholm has been vandalized. Some death threats and a bunch of racist attacks. Cute People are morons, but I get why this would sting for a MFF "supporter" Edited November 28, 2019 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 28, 2019 Moderator Share Posted November 28, 2019 So he buys into a club owned by the L.A. Galaxy owners and thrashes his legacy with Malmo. Isn't modern football just amazing sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 And to think the statue was initially supposed to be in Solna outside the National stadium (shared with AIK) but was moved to Malmö because they (correctly) feared it would be vandalized in Solna by AIK fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The Telegraph claiming he's signed for A.C Milan. Not sure what their sources are but as I mentioned Milan was always the most likely destination. There's previously been speculations he is to be presented on Dec 15th when they celebrate 120 years as a club at home against Sassuolo. Remains to see if they are correct. Their anniversary kit is pretty nice 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Probably best to not fan the flames of this situation even further. His mother, father and rest of his family still live in Malmö. As fun as it is to receive death threats he probably don't want his family to be targeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
