Szmodics is actually a lifelong Liverpool supporter - he said this himself on Big Sam's podcast recently.

So, technically, being based in Cheshire/Manchester is considerably closer for following his team than anywhere in Cockneyland.

He doesn't and doesn't know where this comes from - listen to his episode of No Tippy Tappy Football.

I have listened to it and for the life of me I can't remember him saying that (not saying he didn't ) I wasn't 100% paying attention 

But I have seen him in a west ham shirt and other references about him being boyhood west ham fan

West Ham, transcript is there

“It’s hard being a footballer and supporting a team, but obviously West Ham is the closest team to us and I started following West Ham at 14 or 15 and it took off from there.

“We played them in the cup last year and It was mixed emotions because we beat them on penalties and it was like I didn’t want to knock West Ham out because we were never going to win the Carabao Cup. West Ham maybe weren’t either but they had a better chance.

“I’ve played there, I scored my penalty there so it was mixed emotions. I try to get to all the games, when I was at Peterborough two years ago I used to go to every game and I go to the away games when they’re up here against Manchester United, City, and Liverpool, I go to all of them.

When I get a minute, I'll try and dig out the episode - he makes a big point of it, with his Dad being against it when he was a youngster.

He’s from Colchester, it’s less than twenty miles to Ipswich, so yes pretty local compared to here.

Which is about 3 days in a car in the land of no motorways. 

[Andy]

Nah, he was quite specific about supporting Liverpool - I'm sure it was Big Sam's podcast, but he's been on a couple at the back end of last season.

I'll find it when I get a minute.

Looks like Kaide Gordon is going Swansea on loan.

This is the time of year the Playoff places are decided - which PL wonderkids can you secure for a year? Diallo carried Sunderland a couple of years ago.

He was a Liverpool fan as a lad along with his dad and brother but he switched to West Ham when he was a teenager and has supported them ever since

Half an hour up the A12, about as well connected as you get down East Anglia.

West Ham, his dad & family are Liverpool.  Seems Sammie changed allegiance as a teenager, but definitely West Ham now

That would be a good move for him I think

Spotted watching there game today 

[Torgeir]

If Leonard leaves then we're starting to wear thin in that position, no? He's been injured a lot the past six months or so so good move for him if true.
