As the age-old joke goes, supporting your football club should come with a health warning. Sometimes I think Sunderland shouldn’t just be kept behind screens at a supermarket counter as if they were a 20-deck of Lambert & Butler; moreso they’re 11 vials of a highly contagious pathogen, to be handled by only the world’s most eminent scientists and biologists who are wearing gloves as thick as a submarine door. And preferably aren’t based in Wuhan.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between West Ham and Manchester City.Here are some of your comments:West Ham fansJim: Don’t think West Ham were embarrassed. Put City under a lot of pressure at times that they really don’t like. Without Haaland, the game would’ve been much more equal score-wise and we’re still trying to bed in the new players and manager. There’s a lot more to come from this Hammers team.Gerald: Early days, however the performance was very much like David Moyes at the helm. I would prefer a team with an all-out attack mindset.

West Ham 1-3 Man City - the fans' verdict

Football supporters are an emotional bunch at the best of times, but the Ipswich Town faithful have been pretty stoic following the opening fixtures against the current top two. Objectively, a zero-point start and a -5 goal difference looked ominous, but despite the calibre of opposition there were moments in both games to give hope.There was however a need to turn that hope into something more tangible, and thankfully Saturday proved to be that moment. To pick up a deserved point against a well-established and well-coached Fulham side adds to the growing sentiment that Town should have enough to survive...

Good morning WNBA fans — after one day off, the league is back in action, and we’ve got a four-game slate:. Seattle Storm (19-13) vs Connecticut Sun (24-8) at 7pm ET. The Sun and Storm play the second game in a row against one another, with the Sun emerging victorious on Sunday. The Storm have looked like a different team since returning from the Olympic break — they’ve lost 6 of their last 8 games, after finishing the first half of the season 17-8. The trio of Nneka Ogwumike, Jewell Loyd, and Skylar Diggins-Smith has had a fair amount of individual success this season, but it hasn’t translated to the win share Seattle had hoped for.
