Interesting choice of phrase though. Players, agents and club now starting to think about where the game could be in a couple of years time. Very important with players like Ona and Alessia.

Big game today! Six points in the CL race. Time to start claiming Manchester’s true colours for ALL citizens.

I have hopes for us pulling of a good game today.

Team looks like the one most people will have been expecting.

Come on you reds!

 

[Zoo]

Great goal! Galton

 

[phelans shorts]

1-0 Galton.

We’ve played some lovely stuff after riding out the early pressure

 

[Judge Red]

Nicely worked goal. Good game so far.

 

[Lightbringer]

Just grab the 3 points (knock on wood)

 

[Messier1994]

Feck, 1-1.

Was really looking forward to 3pts here after the beating the men took earlier in the season.

 

[phelans shorts]

1-1, Coombs.

One error by Turner missing her header and it’s in, Earps had no chance.

 

[Lightbringer]

Man City are scum, extra painful to loose a goal to the feckers!

 

[Messier1994]

Nice to see a pretty big crowd showing up. Must be up towards 25k.

 

[hellhunter]

Why do City's ladies play with red shorts?

Most teams are switching towards darker shorts to remove any potential issues surrounding periods

44 000+ announced, but dont know if thats sold or people really attending.

Now I feel stupid for not considering that

It’s something that’s very easy to overlook until it’s pointed out, I know I never considered it until the changes started to be made by a few sides

Wow, that is just sick. More than Chelsea FC ever have drawn for a home game in modern time. But Chelsea is of course a really small club compared to our women’s team.

 

[Messier1994]

Damn Russo almost had one there…

 

[DomesticTadpole]

So there are more people there than attend the men's games.

 

[Lightbringer]

The importance of the next goal for this season and Man United womens future is so huge, I can barely breath watching....

 

[Lightbringer]

Thomas on for Parris. Unusual for Skinner to use subs this early...its early for Skinner...

With any other owner than the Glazer our women’s team will become the best in the world. They are really good as it is without any contribution from the owner.

Yes agreed, but finishing 4th this season could mean losing Ona and Lessi and lot of progress to the waste!

We need to protect 1 point, but also need to score, tough to balance.

 

[Lightbringer]

Of course in the race for the title, we can not afford to drop points today at all.

 

[Messier1994]

Oh so close from Thomas!

 

[Lightbringer]

Didier Drogba of womens football almost had a couple....sheesh.

 

[hellhunter]

Both teams look dead on their feet

 

[Lightbringer]

Its Skinner time with the subs, 83 minutes and forward!

 

[Lightbringer]

galton is a savage....how does she have stamina left!!!!

 

[hellhunter]

That was the chance

 

[Messier1994]

Penalty?

 

[hellhunter]

And a 100% handball

 

[Thunderhead]

And a 100% handball

Haha you're never getting a handball for that at any level of football

 

[Messier1994]

Aha, got it.

At the same time — one week of Maguire’s salary easily get us a world class star. But they need the facilities. Some clubs offer absolute top notch facilities shared with the men’s team while others offer like VNL conditions. That we are as competitive as we are despite the horrible conditions the Glazers offers the women’s team is pretty fantastic.

 

[Lightbringer]

Well, at least we did not lose to the plastic cnuts club. I think City were the slightly better team. So I guess 1 point will have to do...still we had the lead so bitter to lose it!

Last game of the season vs City at home could be vital now!

 

[hellhunter]

Haha you're never getting a handball for that at any level of football

Yeah slight overreaction on my side

 

[madi5h]

Haha you're never getting a handball for that at any level of football

var gives that as a peno 100%, pushed it back to keeper, stonewall peno

 

[Lightbringer]

I´d like to see Skinner with earlier subs when players are tiring, thats my only complaint as usual. United looked better when we subbed in fresh legs.
