Not WSL but what on earth is this from Earps
That's a weird one. It's like she completely loses track of where she's stood.
City beat Arsenal 3-2
I havent seen the game but just wanted to say from the previous games I've seen Laura Blindkilde-Brown who is playing as CDM for City is the best young English talent and I think Yui Hasegawa, Blindkilde-Brown and Clinton will be a midfield that allows City to challenge for the title. It might be this year, or it might be next year as both Blindkilde and Clinton are young but I think thats the level they will be at.

Chloe Kelly is so cringe
I watched the match. I can't remember having heard Blindkilde-Brown's name before, but she was great. Hasegawa was also great (as usual), but Clinton was pretty much invisible and was subbed out after about 60 minutes. Once they figure out how to fully incorporate Clinton into the team they will have a midfield to be reckoned with, to be sure.
Pity Arsenal couldn't hold on for draw
Yeah I first saw her for England 1 game, but seen a few of City's previous matches this season. She's a bit like Hasegawa but even before that match she had joint 4th most tackles this season (1 less than Zigiotti who had played 1 more game). Essentially shes taken on the DLP/DM role that Hasegawa had last season and Hasegawa is freed to get forward more. She can dribble, she can pass, good technique. Everything you want in midfield. I think at the very least Clinton gives a bit of size as shes 5'8, Blinkilde is 5'4 and Hasegawa 5'1. And then the goals. They already had goals from Miedema in the midfield 3, but I think Clinton will do even better and if not they still have Miedema
Luckily we recovered quickly to a full bench and Mared Griffiths can keep playing with the U21 to get playing time. Now just waiting for Galton to be back shortly and then Millie at the end of december.
Is it me or is Chloe Kelly such a dislikeable so and so?
She is always looking so bloody smug
She is always looking so bloody smug
Its not just you. And its also the fact that she is acting like she is batman every time she scores whether its for England or club teams. You can tolerate her perhaps when she is on your team as a provoking pest, but it seems she is seen as arrogant overall even by club fans that cheers for the lionesses! Her clapping the Arsenal badge at Citys home arena after sending a City player down - where she spent the last 6 years and City who made her a lioness was pretty poor taste and City fans did not like it at all. Kelly does seem to be the sharpest knife in the tool box
If she wanted to burn all bridges with her previous fans and teammates this would be best way to do it:

I dont see anything wrong with a minor nudge and pointing to her badge as if to say sorry im the opposition now. However... When she does her penalty technique, you're gonna look a right idiot if you dont score. It adds nothing, its completely for showmanship so you better not mess it up.
Finally someone saying it
I thought this was really interesting (and fun):
From the same guy who posted a great video about a year ago titled "Ella Toone is the Most Misunderstood Player in the WSL," which I posted a link to around here somewhere....

The thing I found amusing about this is that when you give these three a task to complete -- in this case a jigsaw puzzle -- they aren't able to focus on anything else until the task has been completed. That's their mentality. Answering random questions seemed like merely a distraction until they finished the puzzle.
Lovely. Teri-dactyl should have been the bird name though.
Is that Hinata's nickname, Hiniesta?
I had to look that up. According to Google's AI, "Hinata Miyazawa is called 'Hiniesta' as a play on the name of the legendary Spanish footballer Andrés Iniesta."
Thanks, that's what the name obviously referred to. I wasn't sure whether it was an established nickname or something this writer just made up. I must say, though, that her role in the team fits more of Sergio Busquez than Andres Iniesta!
It is pretty established, both among her teammates and the fans.
Thanks!
For United, yes, but not always for Japan.
Just thought it was worth a pause to look at our schedule through to Christmas and just beyond.
After we play Wolfsburg on Wednesday night United go on pause until 7 December. Most of our players aren't on pause though as they'll be taking part in matches or training camps during the international break.
7 Dec - WSL - West Ham
10 Dec - WCL - Lyon
14 Dec - WSL - Spurs
17 Dec - WCL - Juventus
21/22 - WSL Cup - QF opponent TBC
Winter break
11 Jan - WSL - Arsenal
and so on...
Truly, the women's club football calendar moves in mysterious ways. 5 club matches in 15 days.
It's a funny one from my perspective. I got "trained" in my matchgoing habit by a steady diet of weekend United matches - with a consistent rhythm of home/away dominated by the League. The icing on the cake - Europe and some cup matches - took place midweek, but not in the kind of volume we have now.
Women's football doesn't have that kind of matchgoing habit yet, but the rush for more games, particularly for TV rights selling is dominating the game. I do wonder if the two things are actually compatible especially given the stop/start feast/famine nature of the club calendar.

Will be interesting to see. Surely a quite tough run of games testing the squads of the teams playing in Europe, something that maybe already shows with United, Arsenal and Chelsea all with sub par performances in the league this weekend.
