Obviously a good move for trophies and she’ll get to okay the odd game- but realistically, minute wise, she’d be better off at a different club.
I still find it so puzzling that even before her stroke, Taylor dropped her from the squad. Makes you wonder what went on behind the scenes coz there’s no way it was over that red card at the end of the season.

Also i think Barca have probably said she will be in contention for the starting position at some point as she has stated in interviews she wants to be playing. If she just wanted trophies she could have just stayed at city tbh.
I also find it baffling how he dropped her after that red card last season and wouldn't even put her on the bench at the start of this season. Taylor seems to love to bench Lioness players in general (Morgan and Kelly also come to mind). I do wonder what the overall environment is like there right now.

No offence. But what trophies have City won this season? If they don’t win the league they’ve had a less successful season than bloody Arsenal lmao. When was the last time they had a good run in the Champions League? Have they ever won it? No.

If she wants trophies, she’d go to Barca not just stay at City. Dumb thing to say honestly. Now i’m not saying that’s all of why she’s going there, but it probably will have played a part, and also Barca’s schedule with the amount of games they play and competitions they’re in, there’s obviously more minutes available.

lol english fans who didn't want ellie to leave wsl are being heavily in denial and posting in bad faith. at first they insisted ellie wont go there. now this. barca has a relatively short squad and both their current gks get almost 50/50 play time in all comps. liga f has more teams so more matches. and barca takes part in four comps deep in the season. they definitely need two gks minimum to rotate healthily and jona definitely use to. she was out of england england cause of no minutes with city. she will absolutely play enough with barca to get back in squad for euros.

I'm so happy for Ellie. After the year she's had she deserves this. She'll be a cracking goalkeeper for Barca!
I hope it works out for her but realistically I can’t see her playing enough to compete with Earps, Hampton or Keating to get back into the England squad.
Even though she won't get minutes in every match, it still is a good move for her to go somewhere with a strong defense in front of her that will make her look good in the minutes she does play vs. going to a WSL team lower down on the table whose defense won't help her overall stats any. I truly don't think Hannah Hampton would impress people nearly as much if she didn't have Chelsea's defenders in front of her keeping her from having to do much or make too many difficult saves.

How many clubs would be willing to have someone who has not played an entire season to be the first choice goalkeepers?
Even as a second keeper in Barca she'll get minutes, she'll get to play some Liga F games and Cup games to give rest to Cata, considering the amount of games Barca plays in a season.
She’ll be third choice surely?
Cata
Font
Then Ellie?
Gemma will probably keep being the 3rd goalkeeper, she is shorter than both and she is a good backup to have just in case.

Well, according to Josie's stories, she was at a country concert in London last night, so we already know Grace and Leah were there too.
We know? You know shit mate. Shut up and stop clogging this thread.

How do you “already know” that ffs? You have no clue. Grace and Josie went to a country concert recently without Leah, hung out with Sian without Leah the other day, etc. Stop assuming things with literally 0 proof.
Yes but that gig was last night at the O2, not the night they hung out with Sian.
Ok? When did I say the opposite?

I was just pointing out they’re often without Leah, so it’s not even the safe guess to assume Leah’s there. Not even at a country concert, because that’s also been shown recently that they’ll go without her.

Unless you get actual proof she was there, stop bringing up the things they do in here and acting as though you “already know” things you don’t. Grace and Josie without Leah are irrelevant to a football thread, so stop bringing them up.

Yeah probably with Lia and her sister... please Tobin troll go away
I'm not Jenny Michelle. And Lia was with her sister, not Leah.
Because she wasn’t in her story? 😂 Not saying that she was but you and nobody else knows for sure. Just saying.

DA
I think they would adjust, also there is a language barrier and therefore you would have to fight on and off the pitch for your spot.
Also when every position has a top player u are constantly sparred

That’s not the case in the current set up for arsenal and it’s unclear what Jonas actually wants playing wise, cuz it’s not working they’re not getting better or at least not better to compete for the league, just the top 3 right now
I think you can really see Jonas’ lack of proper management is a problem when it comes to the smaller games. Like they’ll beat Chelsea in a final (even if it is Conti cup) or in the league or whatever, but then they’ll lose to Spurs for the first time? Lost to West Ham? The Paris FC knockout is another, but to give that team some credit they did also knockout Wolfsburg and had an alright run. But yeah, there’s just no guidance there and they lose their way against smaller teams. It’s stupid. Yes the players play their part for sure, but it does stem from the manager here.
Yep, the lack of consistency is a maaaasssive problem. Also the choice of assistant coaches. The tall guy that holds him back when Jonas looses it, he is the set piece coach - how often do we score on set pieces etc… feels like a Buddy gang and not top flight coaches
For sure that guy needs sacking. Horrible at his job. Clearly. Our set pieces have actually been worse this season than last, which I didn’t think was possible.

Also think the decision to get Kelly Smith was a stupid one. No offence. She’s actually only made our forwards less effective, I think. Her style is not at all fitting to the modern game and neither are her ideas. Love her as a player, not as a coach. She isn’t even a completely certified one either and has not coached in the WSL before. It’s showing.
I don’t think Kelly is the problem tho, it’s Jonas way of playing/thinking. His tactics is holding everything back. She works for him ya know. The set pieces… yeah the stats don’t lie on that one
Da

The reason arsenal lost to Liverpool, spurs and West Ham is down to not being able to finish the many chances that they created. That’s Kelly smiths job

Idk. I get what you’re saying but that it’s also massively dependent on the environment. If you’re in an environment where that’s not the standard, then you would see it as harder to take that because it’s just not the norm and would be completely different. When you move to a club with a different environment, that one slowly becomes the norm to you and managers calling out different types of things becomes the norm. It’s all very just relative to the current situation you’re in and what’s normal to you at that time.

random question but if anyone would know it would be you guys. Does anyone know why Eartha Pond left the Boots Balls and Bra’s podcast? I can’t stand NB but looks like she’s pretty much the new co host at this point 😭
Someone here said it's because Fara fell out with Eartha. No other details were given though. And I agree with you it's really bad now I don't bother tuning in anymore. Eartha and Fara had good cohost chemistry on the show so it's a shame.
I’m not sure how true that would be seeing they have been friends for years but maybe. Yea they were great together, Fara needs someone who can speak over her sometimes as she can be a bit overbearing in the conversation but i love her knowledge. I seriously don’t know how NB has become so front and centre in woso
Completely agree. There's been a few shows where Emma Byrne has been the cohost and those have been amazing. I think it's because both Fara and Emma are former players (like Eartha) and they're both on an even keel, whereas NB isn't right? So the authority lies with Fara every time they talk not just because of her strong personality but because she used to be a player. We need a cohost with equal knowledge and equal power dynamics and that's what Eartha gave us.

The thing is, I actually do think the proper football fans in this fanbase do appreciate Stina. I always see her being talked about well on here, then saying they don’t want her to leave, that it would be stupid if Arsenal let her. Even tbh on the likes of Twitter and Tumblr I see people praising her. I think there’s just a lot of noise around Russo and it can sort of take away the light there and make you think it’s all about her and that fans just like her. When in reality, that’s only true with more so player-stans and TikTok kids.
DA This would have been my take on how Stina is seen by the fans as well. There are actual fans and there are the noisy people on Twitter and TT, I think this is to differentiate.
stina misses way too many chances though some of which are game changing ones. Arsenal needs a better striker. Also, she can't dribble to save her life.
spot on.we need a better striker. but who is out there?

Fara was annoying with Earth and stays annoying with NB. 😂 Gave the podcast another try but no, I just can’t. I think it’s telling that they were starting as 3 and now one of them is left who needs „support“ of someone who is not more than a content creator.

Why doesn't Amanda follow Grace back. I keep wondering...would she really not want to see her content? Or is she just genuinely not close enough. Or did she forget to follow back? It all makes Grace so embarrassing. 😂
Look mate, Grace is just another friend of her daughter, she could've followed her a long time ago and she didn't, Grace could also follow Amanda a long time ago and she didn't do it either. Why did she decide to follow her after a match in the Emirates? because it's the only place she sees Amanda. Why did she choose that specific day after a year of attending games and sitting in the same area as her? We all know the answer, she has lost followers recently, she needs to get attention somehow. It's not that deep. Move on.

I think there’s just a lot of noise around Russo and it can sort of take away the light there and make you think it’s all about her and that fans just like her. When in reality, that’s only true with more so player-stans and TikTok kids.
DA This would have been my take on how Stina is seen by the fans as well. There are actual fans and there are the noisy people on Twitter and TT, I think this is to differentiate.

I want stina to leave just so Arsenal fans can see what they had, but since they were all hung up on Russo they missed out.
In another note, what’s the interview that stina did recently for I think a Swedish tv where people were saying she was leaving based on that interview?
Its with fotbollskanalen and all she said was threat yeah I’m on an outgoing contract and have a few options.. that’s it but also they she was happy at arsenal.

Other rumors makes is quite clear that other teams won’t necessarily match her salary and that might stop any deals if she wants to make more money elsewhere

The thing is, I actually do think the proper football fans in this fanbase do appreciate Stina. I always see her being talked about well on here, then saying they don’t want her to leave, that it would be stupid if Arsenal let her.

Mentality. I don’t think a lot of the players have the mentality to be in a top club like Lyon, Barca or Chelsea. They’ll probably see it as hard and if the manager calls them out on their shit they’re not the type to actually reflect on it.
Idk. I get what you’re saying but that it’s also massively dependent on the environment. If you’re in an environment where that’s not the standard, then you would see it as harder to take that because it’s just not the norm and would be completely different. When you move to a club with a different environment, that one slowly becomes the norm to you and managers calling out different types of things becomes the norm. It’s all very just relative to the current situation you’re in and what’s normal to you at that time.
DA
I think they would adjust, also there is a language barrier and therefore you would have to fight on and off the pitch for your spot.
Also when every position has a top player u are constantly sparred

That’s not the case in the current set up for arsenal and it’s unclear what Jonas actually wants playing wise, cuz it’s not working they’re not getting better or at least not better to compete for the league, just the top 3 right now
I think you can really see Jonas’ lack of proper management is a problem when it comes to the smaller games. Like they’ll beat Chelsea in a final (even if it is Conti cup) or in the league or whatever, but then they’ll lose to Spurs for the first time? Lost to West Ham? The Paris FC knockout is another, but to give that team some credit they did also knockout Wolfsburg and had an alright run. But yeah, there’s just no guidance there and they lose their way against smaller teams. It’s stupid. Yes the players play their part for sure, but it does stem from the manager here.
Yep, the lack of consistency is a maaaasssive problem. Also the choice of assistant coaches. The tall guy that holds him back when Jonas looses it, he is the set piece coach - how often do we score on set pieces etc… feels like a Buddy gang and not top flight coaches
For sure that guy needs sacking. Horrible at his job. Clearly. Our set pieces have actually been worse this season than last, which I didn’t think was possible.

Also think the decision to get Kelly Smith was a stupid one. No offence. She’s actually only made our forwards less effective, I think. Her style is not at all fitting to the modern game and neither are her ideas. Love her as a player, not as a coach. She isn’t even a completely certified one either and has not coached in the WSL before. It’s showing.

Arsenal: many fans of this team think that the girls are the best (you know because they are their fans), but I saw many comments here that the truth is that if these players were in other teams (Chelsea, Lyon, Barcelona etc) they wouldn't make first team there.. so what is your opinion? Which Arsenal players are quite good and which are overrated?

I mean next season Chelsea won’t have Emma hayes so Arsenal/jonas despite his lack of management have a better chance at winning bigger trophies next season
I really do think next season is make or break for him now. There’s no excuses of injuries or injury comebacks, Chelsea will be adjusting to a new manager and not as stable, we’ll have another shot at the Champions League, etc. If we don’t win the League and just do really well over all, i’d expect him to be sacked. I really do not care if he wins the Conti Cup again, and wouldn’t even care if he manages the FA Cup (ok, I would like to see that, but it’s not enough alone). Sick of going through season after season where people want him out then switch sides after he gets some cheap cup.
Spoiler alert, we finish 3rd. Like we do every year. No new manager, no new players, no amount of injuries ever changes it. I’ve been here a while. Barring 2019 where in all honesty we got lucky at the end of the season and Jordan was running riot at the start, we are a 3rd place team. Nothing will happen to Jonas. Cause he is no better or worse than any other manager. This is just who we are.

Why doesn't Amanda follow Grace back. I keep wondering...would she really not want to see her content? Or is she just genuinely not close enough. Or did she forget to follow back? It all makes Grace so embarrassing. 😂
Are you… are you actually refreshing Grace’s new follows every minute of every day to see? I genuinely wouldn’t put it past you lot to do so tbh but this is just creepy. You need help.
No, this is the 3rd time I've checked it. Since she finally follows Amanda. I'm not a creep, I just thought about it again.
…Sure. Sure.
