Page catching .....so many pages since the final day of the WSL.

90% on Leah
5% on Jordan
4% on Viv and City being shit
1% on Chelsea winning it.

Can't even discuss football.

Seems like most lesbians do not want Chelsea to win. I'm not even a Chelsea fan but I say they deserve it.
Not me. I'm a Liverpool fan, delighted that we finished 4th. I actually think Chelsea deserve their league title. I would also say it's a hard fought title. If only City did not lose to Arsenal, they would have won the title even with a draw with Arsenal. Having said that you can't deny Chelsea burning desire to fight back . 8-0 vs Bristol and 6-0 vs Utd.
Chelsea was without all their forwards for period of time, played more matches than any WSL teams and they survived. City was without Shaw for the last games and they can't survive. City within Shaw is still a good team. So yeah they bottled it.
People do not want Chelsea to win the league because of Hayes' comments on player/coach , player/player relationship. Well her 12 years achievements can't be denied just because of those comments.
She is the best WSL manager ever. Yes she has a big budget unlike Matt Beard but so do Arsenal and City. Hayes fought for better mental care and medical care for the players. Fought for pregnant players too. She had to be tough against a male dominated management in the WSL. Skinner, Beard, many male in the WSL business respect her so I say she should push Jonas harder. Or slap him on Miedema behalf. She also spoke up for minority players and recruited them. She ought to be supported by women.

My 2 cents worth. Sorry for the long essay :)
There’s not that many Chelsea fans on here, I reckon there’s about 3 or 4. Arsenal fans and whatever agenda they have at the time dominates the board *shrug* that’s just how it is.

My 2p.

I’m amazed the team won the title, I thought City had it after the loss to Liverpool. I still can’t believe Blackstenius’ goals, their timing, though GT’s tactics in the 2nd half contributed to their downfall. After that I felt (almost) confident Chelsea would win, on experience alone - a lot of the players had been here before unlike City’s and the Man U result showed that.

But I think City’s 2nd position was due to Bunny getting injured, if she wasn’t they would’ve had more goals against Villa and possibly Arsenal too.

Judging Emma’s performance - I think the best bits of this season were:

1. The integration of new, young players. Nusken is my player of the season, without her and her ability to play damned well in many positions the injuries in Jan/Feb/Mar would’ve been too much to surmount, HH was only in goal for about 1/2 the season and was great only blot was the Liverpool match, ABJ’s goals and even Maika’s goal against Spurs was vital.

2. Her development of pre-existing players. It was really, really satisfying to see Carter as PotM vs. Barca considering she had such a torrid time against Barca in the final we played against them. And to see Charles and Cuthbert flourish in their new leadership positions - all 3 were vital this season.

3. Her management of the team to keep getting results despite all the injuries. Yes, Chelsea has lots of players but that was 2 acls to our no 9s, hamstring injury meant we barely saw their replacement and the defence had to get patched up cos of Bright’s almost season-long injury and her replacement’s injury. Also her management of Macario when injured and starting playing has been notably really good.

There isn’t really anything like that, no. It’s a lot less general. You have to look for specific clubs and who they’ve got, e.g Arsenal has Tim and Barca has Tikas.

Has Chelsea released their new season kits yet?
No but footyheadlines had the leaked photos of the kit and they’re usually accurate. They’re still looking for a shirt sponsor too.

Chelsea are supposedly having a celebration on Monday but half of the team have already left for vacation :lol:

Why have Arsenal not posted the squad yet?
Don’t want to reduce ticket sales when they drop the squad and it’s only a few starters.
spot on

Definitely not. If the main starting squad was going they'd announce the roster to drive up sales. It's the opposite.

The people going on and on and on and on about it in the Intl thread and here, and I honestly just laugh inside because it was always obvious as soon as the fixture was announced that it would be the Australian players on the squad and whoever else they can scrounge up, eg. players who haven't got pressing intl. schedules such as McCabe and Little, and probably a bunch of academy players.

English girls will not be present, as per Sarina's request for them to stay in Europe.
yup. sarina made a point to say that she didn’t want her players flying “half way across the world”. it was a clear dig at the australia friendly, and her making a very clear point. the english players would not be going.
McCabe schedule is just as bad as English girls? And same with Stina etc. all have international qualifiers. English tax is so annoying get a life it’s not just your players.
wtf are you talking about? and it’s coming across like you just learnt the word english tax and are now applying it to everything. this is not english tax.

a national team manager has been against this useless friendly, and most likely pushed for her players not to be included. just so happens that’s the england manager. the netherlands manager is the exact same and the dutch won’t be letting their players go either.
Think they're just saying McCabe's international schedule isn't any better than England's, so it's unfair to suggest she'd have an easier time going to this friendly like Little, who doesn't play internationally anymore.
even still, not english tax. english focus maybe, but not tax. that’s money-related things (like a players value and wage) and awards.

I saw someone say in a Man United group that Earps was spotted taking a tour of the Arsenal training ground last Monday after the FA Cup final. Has anyone else heard that? Surprised it wasn't being talked about more so I wasn't sure how valid the source was.
Don't know how accurate the rumour is (I haven't heard it) but as an Arsenal fan, I'd rather get Van Domselaar than Earps. Not sure if Arsenal just wasn't willing to pay £200,000 for an injured player and would rather take Earps on a free or what, but Van Domselaar will be around and reaching the top of her game soon. Earps is getting older and has had some real howlers lately, and she's got Hannah Hampton biting at her heels for the England #1 spot. Knowing us what will happen is that we'll pass on Van Domselaar and then next season she'll go to City or somewhere like that.
Personally i’d rather get Earps now while she’s free. DVD is expensive with her transfer fee and she’s also been out injured for a while, it’s an expensive risk.
x2 get Earps starting now on a free for a season, with option to extend. Let Villa build up DVD2 to match fitness again, go for her in a later window, free or not, depending on how hot she is. It's just the most pragmatic route.
Arsenal fans can come at me if they like. But omg it’s so boring it all good player go to the top fours let the other eight teams have SOMETHING. I hate when players have no loyalty as well. I love when players are loyal to their club
Tell that to Jordan and Viv. Never be loyal to an organisation. No matter how may “family vibes” they present. Earn your money and get out at the first sign of trouble. It’s a business and never forget that. @Leah Williamson @Katie McCabe @Beth Mead

yeah that one is definitely a go. I’ve recently started paying attention too when I wasn’t before. I will say out of all the recent and new woso couples, that one seems to have a bit of longevity. Like you can see how they fit. Theres no stress of living in different countries, or different ages. It makes legitimate sense. Also, most of the time it seems like they’re hanging out, it’s just them. Not in a group of friends. Like many other “couples” which I always think seems strange. Wish them the best. I’ve been around while 😅 and followed most of Jordan’s career. Glad she seems to happy again. It’s been a while since she was happy

In the world of poorly paid woso, loyalty is not important. Earn as much as you can during your short career. While playing for the top 4, you might get noticed by brands too. Grab the endorsements while you can

To be fair most people are including all Euros players in the convo about travel and the qualifiers, not just the English players. McCabe most likely wants to go for personal reasons.

I am an Arsenal fan and I get it. But at the same time, it’s just the way the sport is. The top clubs aren’t going to “let” anyone have anything lol. Good players go to good teams, and most of the time (especially in the women’s game) the teams on the lower end of the league table aren’t that good or competitive. Also unfortunately in the women’s game they can’t really be afforded by clubs other than those top ones.

Hey look, I agree. I think DVD2 should stay at Villa. But Earps wants a CL team to play for and a top salary. She doesn't want to go down the table. She wants top of the table, or she'll go to Europe.

Soccerdonna is probably the closest thing that women's football has, a lot of players actually follow it. That said, it's mostly just re-posting either transfer announcements that have already happened, and the rumors it posts are sometimes right but are often wrong. It does cover many different leagues, which is nice because it's not just one league or one team.

Tim Stillman is pretty reliable when it comes to Arsenal-related news, but he only covers Arsenal.
I'll share insider news on talks with players. Don't ask me where I heard it cuz I can't say it.

Viv - City, Liverpool are keen to talk to her. It's her wages that is an issue.

Ruby Mace is almost confirmed for Chelsea.

Kirby, Maren are going to Palace. Nobbs is targeted.

Hayley Raso - talks with Liverpool , Spurs and Palace

Palace is also keen on AKB.

Risa Shimizu - City,Chelsea and Liverpool are keen. She's good, free transfer and her wages isn't high

Honoka Hayashi - Spurs , Liverpool , Man Utd are keen. Free transfer

Kirsty Smith - Palace is keen.


I do not have legit information about Mary Earps.

Same. Id get Earps, have sold Sabs and Kalyan (which they did), phased out Manu for Earps, then when DVD is free i’d have sold Manu and got in DVD. Then Earps and DVD competition for the #1 spot.

Not sure if Arsenal just wasn't willing to pay £200,000 for an injured player and would rather take Earps on a free or what, but Van Domselaar will be around and reaching the top of her game soon. Earps is getting older and has had some real howlers lately, and she's got Hannah Hampton biting at her heels for the England #1 spot. Knowing us what will happen is that we'll pass on Van Domselaar and then next season she'll go to City or somewhere like that.
Personally i’d rather get Earps now while she’s free. DVD is expensive with her transfer fee and she’s also been out injured for a while, it’s an expensive risk.
x2 get Earps starting now on a free for a season, with option to extend. Let Villa build up DVD2 to match fitness again, go for her in a later window, free or not, depending on how hot she is. It's just the most pragmatic route.

Why have Arsenal not posted the squad yet?
Does anyone else think that maybe it’s because it is practically all of the squad going so they don't see the point in dropping a roster to update anyone?
Definitely not. If the main starting squad was going they'd announce the roster to drive up sales. It's the opposite.

The people going on and on and on and on about it in the Intl thread and here, and I honestly just laugh inside because it was always obvious as soon as the fixture was announced that it would be the Australian players on the squad and whoever else they can scrounge up, eg. players who haven't got pressing intl. schedules such as McCabe and Little, and probably a bunch of academy players.

English girls will not be present, as per Sarina's request for them to stay in Europe.
yup. sarina made a point to say that she didn’t want her players flying “half way across the world”. it was a clear dig at the australia friendly, and her making a very clear point. the english players would not be going.

Page catching .....so many pages since the final day of the WSL.

90% on Leah
5% on Jordan
4% on Viv and City being shit
1% on Chelsea winning it.

Can't even discuss football.

Seems like most lesbians do not want Chelsea to win. I'm not even a Chelsea fan but I say they deserve it.
Not me. I'm a Liverpool fan, delighted that we finished 4th. I actually think Chelsea deserve their league title. I would also say it's a hard fought title. If only City did not lose to Arsenal, they would have won the title even with a draw with Arsenal. Having said that you can't deny Chelsea burning desire to fight back . 8-0 vs Bristol and 6-0 vs Utd.
Chelsea was without all their forwards for period of time, played more matches than any WSL teams and they survived. City was without Shaw for the last games and they can't survive. City within Shaw is still a good team. So yeah they bottled it.
People do not want Chelsea to win the league because of Hayes' comments on player/coach , player/player relationship. Well her 12 years achievements can't be denied just because of those comments.
She is the best WSL manager ever. Yes she has a big budget unlike Matt Beard but so do Arsenal and City. Hayes fought for better mental care and medical care for the players. Fought for pregnant players too. She had to be tough against a male dominated management in the WSL. Skinner, Beard, many male in the WSL business respect her so I say she should push Jonas harder. Or slap him on Miedema behalf. She also spoke up for minority players and recruited them. She ought to be supported by women.

My 2 cents worth. Sorry for the long essay :)

If true, smart of her to revisit them. They'd be wise to go for her since she's on more of a slight backfoot negotiating-wise given MU's poor season, rather than doling out extra for an unproven DVD2. Especially as they'll need a starting keeper soon soon. I rate Manu on her good days, but I can't see her maintaining any kind of performance consistency when she's going to be a sleep deprived new parent.

She was referring to the two weeks of vacation they will have after the first camp, she was not referring to this week.

I wouldn’t trust it. There’s a lot of people online who have genuine sources with Arsenal, but they aren’t on Man United groups lol. It would’ve been hinted at on Arsenal pages, or mentioned in an article somewhere.

In the McFoord thread they’ve said that the girls were going to the airport after the game, so that's why they went to the Emirates on the team bus.

Can anyone confirm?
They went on the coach together because that was something they were doing as a team. The Australia trip is a separate matter here. (E.g. Amanda travelled with them on the coach, but she’s pregnant and not going to be in Aus).

That being said though, I do think they would’ve gone afterwards. Probably drove back to London Colney for those players who aren’t going and to maybe get any final things, then headed to the airport. Most likely they’re already in the air by now.

if all the girls were going they would have published it. that would have massively helped in selling tickets.
Amy says they are traveling and they will a lay over in Dubai.

Who are the most reliable accounts on X around football transfers and rumours?

Soccerdonna is probably the closest thing that women's football has, a lot of players actually follow it. That said, it's mostly just re-posting either transfer announcements that have already happened, and the rumors it posts are sometimes right but are often wrong. It does cover many different leagues, which is nice because it's not just one league or one team.

Tim Stillman is pretty reliable when it comes to Arsenal-related news, but he only covers Arsenal.

Don’t want to reduce ticket sales when they drop the squad and it’s only a few starters.

They went to the Emirates on the team bus because that was a team activity thing. Like the Arsenal women’s team supporting the men’s as a whole. Hence why they did arrive as a team. They did the same last year. It’s nothing to do with the Australia trip.
Yeah and even still, majority of those players would’ve been at that game regardless. Could’ve been a great one.

only one we’ve got is soccerdonna but most of that (like 98%) is just rumours that help boost a players attractiveness. it’s rarely ever the facts. (though, tbh, fabrazio is becoming more and more like that).
