We play city next month and that will be a huge game. If we can beat them I think we will.Spicy at the top of the table isn’t it. Reckon we might break that top three.
If we keep key players fit then we are definitely in the driving seat ahead of City I’d say, but I can’t lie that depth does worry me.We play city next month and that will be a huge game. If we can beat them I think we will.
Russo's contract is running out and seems she's not signing an extension.Enjoyable game. Good performances all round, but I love watching Toone and Russo in particular.
Edited to add: for anyone interested, this game was shown live on Canadian sports channel Sportsnet, so it was nice to finally watch a game on my TV. But it also shows how established the women's game is now, that a large network across the Atlantic chose to air it.
I actually got a good impression in the post match interviews, with her talking about loving the fans home and away, saying how much she’s enjoying her football and then Skinner saying how important she is.Russo's contract is running out and seems she's not signing an extension.
Let's hope you're right. The manager was asked the question if Russo will be staying. He simply answered, "I hope so".I actually got a good impression in the post match interviews, with her talking about loving the fans home and away, saying how much she’s enjoying her football and then Skinner saying how important she is.
Obviously could just be empty words but it’s left me feeling as positive as I have in a while about the chances of keeping her
It’s very possible I’m just hearing what I want to hear. We desperately need her to stay, hopefully Polly has made it one of her top priorities.Let's hope you're right. The manager was asked the question if Russo will be staying. He simply answered, "I hope so".
She's so good Russo. In those inexplicable 9 plus mins the ref gave at the end she was still full of running, taking it to the corner flagThat was a fun game! Russo is a fecking tank! Best nr 9 at the club!
Nice to see. Women's football is is definitely becoming more popular here too. I live in Arsenal and there were loads of people in my local pub watching the game.Enjoyable game. Good performances all round, but I love watching Toone and Russo in particular.

I do think that we think we can beat city and arsenal because we have done it before. Whereas with Chelsea we just lose faith.What a result and just might be that turning point against the top 3 for us,depends on how we get on in next top 3 clash at City in December.
We should have got something in the Chelsea game. We matched them in the first half and then just folded in the second. Just a draw would have had us top and unbeaten at this stage.I do think that we think we can beat city and arsenal because we have done it before. Whereas with Chelsea we just lose faith.
Coming back like we did today is so good for the future.
Where's she gonna go though? She ain't gonna go Arsenal as they have Miedema, Blakstenius and Mead and she ain't gonna go Chelsea as they have James, Kerr and Kirby. Only option is City or abroad and it wouldn't make sense going to City.It’s very possible I’m just hearing what I want to hear.

Like the poster above has said Chelsea is still a big hurdle to overcome,also confident as we might be about beating City we still haven't done it yet.Great result, and it sounds like a good performance as well. I'm hopeful that this result will give the players the confidence to actually 'perform' against the top three, which I've felt they haven't really done in the league.
Nikita was partly at fault for equaliser when she ran into trouble,mind you we didn't help ourselves backing off the shotJust back from the game and what an experience for my first WSL United match.
Girls deserved more than a 1-0 lead at HT and the response from them after going 2-1 down was brilliant and at 2-2 I loved the fact they went looking for that winner.
£12 match ticket, some petrol, 40,000 fans and great entertainment.
Great value for money and brilliant to get the three points.
Russo was almost unplayable at times as the 9 and Paris had a stormer back at the emirates.
What a great game! Tight, hard fought, Wenger wouldn’t have much love for this muscle dominated Gunners team, but they seemed to have out-lucked our girls. But what a finish! Four chances gave two goals in the run in, not a shock that Zelem’s set piece accuracy turned out to be crucial.Just back from the game and what an experience for my first WSL United match.

That kind of confidence and resilience against the top teams is often the last climb in raising to the level of the top teams. Turning 1-2 into 3-2 in five minutes in front of 40 000 at Arsenal, will be invaliable experience in that regard!We should have got something in the Chelsea game. We matched them in the first half and then just folded in the second. Just a draw would have had us top and unbeaten at this stage.
She could easily still go to Arsenal or Chelsea, and that’s just in this country. Open it up to abroad (maybe back to the US? Unfinished business) or just one of the European big boys and there’s lots of options for a player as good as Russo.Where's she gonna go though?

If she was to go to Arsenal, I'd swap her for Blakstenius. She's perfectly suited to the way we play.She could easily still go to Arsenal or Chelsea, and that’s just in this country.

The longer this season goes on and we’re playing well with her performing especially the more chance we have of keeping her, but she’s not going to be short of offers if we don’t give her the kind of contract she deserves. She has all the makings of an absolute megastar.
It seems to have really taken off in most continents.Nice to see. Women's football is is definitely becoming more popular here too. I live in Arsenal and there were loads of people in my local pub watching the game.
Yeah definitely fear losing her if we don’t get that third Champions League spotShe could easily still go to Arsenal or Chelsea, and that’s just in this country.

Where can I see thatJust saw the post match interview with Toone and Turner. Turner's a bit of a nutter is isn't she? Couldn't contain herself
On the club website. Tried to copy the link to the actual vid but it's not letting me - just copies the main site.Where can I see that
