Various papers including the Daily Mail have picked up on a new poll by dating site Match.com, which reveals that West Ham fans are only the 12th most desirable supporters in the Premier League. Match.com questioned 1000 fans on which rival supporters they'd date. Obviously Chelsea and Man United were deemed the ugliest and most undesirable, while Bournemouth came top as the fans most rivals wouldn't mind scoring with.
It's still a travesty West Ham should come 12th though. If Match.com wants to visit the East Stand and see a group of most desirable men — including Fraser in his Dexys beret, Matt with his lucky Dukla Prague away shirt, Michael in a selection of bargain WHU puffer jackets from the club shop, Nigel with his denim jacket that once saw AC/DC, and myself with a 20-year-old Slaven Bilic tribute Dagenham Motors shirt, they'd surely concede that we are an eminently dateable bunch.
