Couldn't Think - from January 2024

Is it just me that wonders why they don't have a replacement ball near to the goal rather than half way to the corner? It just seems the goalie often has to trot off to fetch it when for a corner there are loads of players near the goal who could pass it out to the corner taker.

Interesting approach from the RFU, something I think many would like to see Football to adopt: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/cr4271v939wo

Graeme Bailey at The Boot Room claims that Kretinsky wants to sell his shares after "becoming somewhat frustrated with how West Ham is being run" and isn't prepared to wait until Sullivan finally relinquishes control of the club

A superb 2-0 win by our ladies against Spurs sees us move above them in the table.

I gave up at half time, it was appalling.

I see Joey Barton has just been found guilty of assaulting his wife, I suspect that may end up with a custodial sentence as it's not his first criminal conviction. It's quite hard to find a more unlikable guy in football, and there are a few.

He might struggle with his Tommy Robinson impersonation if he does go to prison. What a shame

The page is updated now and only a 12 week suspended sentence, sadly.

Our ladies became just the third team to take points off Chelsea in the Women's Super League this season, with Shekiera Martinez scoring an injury time equaliser to rescue a 2-2 draw as we came back from being 2-0 down.

Surely not something positive about us (albeit from a few years back). Always worth another look:

Not only that but the first team to take a point off Chelsea at home this season and only the second team to take a point from Chelsea at home in the last three seasons.

Aaron Cresswell is now on 365 West Ham appearances, which puts him only 5 behind Ludo Miklosko, who is in 20th place for most club appearances. The question is - with Cresswell's contract ending at the end of the season, with only 8 games to play, and the fact he was taken off at half time yesterday - will he make it to Ludo?
