Clare Wheeler masterclass in the first half against the Philippines. Matt in dreamland.

Will never not have love for Lize Kop

Shit me that's beautiful from Fernandez

I do think someone needs to tell Spurs that they don't need to play every minute of every game with the pace and energy of a cocker spaniel puppy. It's very entertaining, but it's a high wire act.

I'm sorry how is Ornella Vignola still on the pitch?!

Would say I'm scoping out next season's competition, but we'll probably pass them on the way down 😅

Leicester Men are pathologically incapable of defending a lead, Leicester Women can defend a lead but are pathologically incapable of scoring goals. What a club 😅

In the office today, out for a meal in Birmingham afterwards so picked this out at 6am this morning to get changed at work. Only just now realising I look like I'm in Slytherin.

Thought Liv's save was good in the ground - even better watching it back 🤩 ..that being said, has to go to Yamashita for me.

Double footballing. Lincoln really enjoyed Ipswich v Charlton.

New episode 🚨 A bumper selection of topics up for discussion, checking in with the WSL, WSL2, UWCL and the England squad 🥵 🟣 Just what is the matter with Villa? ⏫ Who's coming up from the WSL2? 👹 United's impressive form 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Does the England squad need a shake up? Listen here 👇🏻

I will say I think Ruby Mace is extremely unlucky not to return to the senior team as well. I know she's been playing CB and we can't move for CBs but she's perfectly capable of slotting back into DM if needed surely.

*throws hands up in the air* I give up.

Random, but I've just seen a criticism of Leicester from the other night for "uninspiring tactics and recruitment". We're in a bloody relegation battle and the club is a financial mess, what do you want us to do, buy Bonmati and play total football?!

I have no words for Villa v Spurs. Which is unlucky because I'm trying to write a match report.

Eder Maestre picking his team every week

Come on Burton 💪🏻🍺

Helps when the opposing team decides to give her the entire Greater Manchester area of space to run into, but yes, she was particularly good ☠️

Sam Tierney doesn't let this happen. In the grand scheme of things I'm glad she's out for this game.

Ultimately, we've decided to be more front footed this half the season, which means we leave ourselves more open, not playing to our strengths, which is defending. And we are physically incapable of scoring, so it's just a lose-lose.

I might need to go for a walk round the block in the rain, this team hasn't boiled my noggin this much in a long time 😂

All I wanted, ALL I wanted was for this not to be an embarrassment.

We just cannot deal with Miedema

It's basically 2-2, and you can't convince me otherwise

Sigh

Exceptionally bold move microwaving fish in an open plan co-working space which must be occupied by about 100 people currently, I must say 🤢

Misa assist! #uwcl

Good lord what is happening in there

Can revelations stop coming from Chelsea Football Club the day after we've recorded please

PSG? Losing a promising young French talent on a free? No, surely not

On my first dog walk in about two weeks where it's not raining

Bottom with City next, then a wait of almost a month until Liverpool away (we haven't won away since 2024). I fear the end is nigh.

I see this ref is continuing the theme from reffing Leicester vs West Ham of blowing up for every bit of contact but never producing any cards

More thoughts from the drive home: - For every day that passes without an Asmita Ale England call up, I lose my grip on reality - Never want to see Sari Kees dropped to bench ever again - Sarah Mayling for President of the Universe

Fair bit to be positive about. Well in it until United's second which came about from ANOTHER atrocious refereeing decision.

I mean shut me up because that was not a bad half 😂

Week after week I become more baffled by Passmoor's team selection. Shannon O'Brien has run her socks off all season, and most fundamentally, has actually scored goals. Penny for her thoughts right now.

The timing of this is, objectively, hilarious

The only thing I'm surprised about is that it took this long sadly. I think he's been coasting on a couple of good results for a while. Club made a statement in the summer recruitment-wise, moving to Goodison, and it hasn't translated to a clear direction on the pitch.

WSL deadline day has been disappointingly lacking in drama. Bring back the Chloe Kelly Instagram statements.

Feeling a little bit salty about Chelsea blocking a loan move for Lexi Potter to Leicester. Understand they may be concerned about depth but realistically at the business end of the season and CL does she get that many minutes? 2.4% squad mins so far this season.

“Seeing what Como, at this point, came back with almost hurt a bit, because I was like, ‘This guy doesn’t know me, and it seems like he values me more than the club I’ve given everything to for five years’.”

Borbe having a great game
