Couldn't think - June 2025 onwards
I must admit that I find the above anecdote a little weird, I may not be fully vested in supporting the west ham women’s team, but that is principally due to time, lack of coverage and I really do not find the women’s game as exciting a spectacle, but I do nonetheless “follow” our women’s results and cannot imagine supporting the women’s team of a rival club.@IronHerb, So if it isn't football what is it?
Someone I work with is football mad, has grown up playing and is basically obsessed with football. Can't remember which way round, but they support one half of the North London Derby in the men's, and the opposite half in the women's. They aren't different sports, but are entirely different entities.
Maybe he has a family member who played for a team or a mate who dated or married a player, I think I can see that, but I do not see myself choosing to actively support another clubs women’s team….maybe that is just me

January Transfer speculation, (it will be here before you know it)
The club would have been heavily criticised had Calvert -Lewin been a summer target. He is having a good patch and has had them before but before he went to Leeds his injury record was not great and he had been anything but prolific in front goal.
They were equally criticised for Callum Wilson but we're alright with that one.
He had a great season in 20-21 with 21goals but following that his tally was 5, 2, 8 &
3.
The board were happy to sign an injury prone out of form striker on a freebie and not the other. The only material difference I could see between them is that one was happy with a short term contract that was financially beneficial to the club, and the other signed a three year deal on a reported £100k a week.
I'm not saying that signing DCL would have been a good signing, or that financially they made the wrong choice, but the reality is that the finances drove the decision. -

Outlet’s are no good when they keep running down blind alleys & being dispossessed. Especially when you are losing. Wilson has 4 goals this season in only a handful of starts. We need goals. He has to play.
But an outlet that doesn’t produce much is still better than no way to release pressure. Summerville is frustrating but we need some pace to help us get up the pitch.
Wilson should come in for Paqueta. -

I think we all know how that has happened. -

The issue is, people start saying ‘well we only need two wins to get back in it’ - we’ve won 3 times in 5 months. If we get 9 points from 4 matches. 3 wins out of 4 when we’ve won 3/17 all season. It’s not likely at all. It won’t happen. Leeds are hitting some great form, & anybody from Forest up, sadly, are not going to go down. We can try & convince ourselves they’ll get ‘dragged in’, but they won’t. In any case, it doesn’t matter, as we don’t win. When we played fairly well against Brighton & Villa, we took 1 point. That should have been 4. So when we play ok, we don’t keep clean sheets or win. When we then play badly or face a side much better than us, we lose too.
Seeing as you can foresee the future so well do you ave the Lottery numbers please?
For supporters to give up so early is not a good look. Why not look for the few positives? Yes, we've only won 3 games but Bournemouth, Forest and Leeds have won only 5. That is something that can be reversed. It's not that straightforward I know but to give up so early is poor. -

Different sport, so I for one am not overly interested. -
