    Season Tickets - 2024/25 | Average increases of 5% despite record profits

    Probably started by not blindly defending the club doing stupid shit to loyal fans.

    You still don't see that many longer than 3 years in the Women's game tbf, hopefully we don't regret it though

    New director of football appointed for Women’s Team

    For anyone who's not seen he's done an interview with Rich Laverty. Bit of a mixed bag imo - on the one hand he's another one defending Taylor far more than makes sense, on the other sounds like they're actually trying to fix some of the behind scenes shit with the academy, and hiring new...

    Far less NWSL than WSL no doubt, I try to keep up but I'm only human. I agree it's Taylor's fault that she wasn't played as a 10, it was his name on the teamsheet after all, but the point is that any coach's main responsibility is to get the best out of the team not the best out of any...

    No argument here mate, I 100% agree with you.

    Yes, the point was bollocks. But christ, if that came across as me saying he's never fucked up then something's got badly lost in translation. He's a shit coach and he's fucked up plenty, I've spent enough time miserable at the Academy Stadium or ranting about him on here over the last few years...

    Yes. She's an incredibly talented foootballer, she's also significantly and consistently better for the USWNT than she has been in club football - whether for us or in the NWSL. She was also far less impressive that season than Sam Mewis, Caroline Weir, and Keira Walsh in midfield, and Lauren...

    Bollocks. It's one of the few big fuck-ups on his watch that wasn't on him, he played the right players at the right time and it almost paid off - whoever signed Lavelle should have got a slap, it was an absolute waste of time.

    Gareth Taylor

    And God knows how many of those league games we've won saw us stumbling along with dire team performances only to be rescued by individual performances from Bunny Shaw (this season) or Lauren Hemp (last season). Daft if they genuinely thought that win percentage could be used as a good defence...

    Gareth Taylor

    Stupid decision but no more than expected. Thought the tone of the announcement was interesting, super positive in the snippets like headlines and tweets, then almost grovelling justifications of him having a job in the full announcement on the website. They might have realised how unhappy fans...

    It's on the club website, it's PR not journalism. They're not going to criticise him there any more than they would Pep.

    Fair dos mate, you absolutely have a point with that stuff to be fair, sadly we just have to balance it with the other crap as well!

    Women's Team Thread - 2022/23

    Seconded on this. I've been thinking for a while about how much effort the club put into the signing of England players, and how much emphasis they've put on the least City Women-specific part of the set-up - the training facilities - to big up how serious we are as a team. Combine that with...

    It's the person/people above him who are the architects of it, he's just the tool they're using. They all need clearing out for people who care and are actually qualified to do the job.

    New director of football appointed for Women’s Team

    The big question that innit, are we fixing the fuck ups that have left us with Taylor or doubling down on them? Fingers crossed this is us learning from mistakes and kicking on next season!

    That's just Taylor being Taylor. No change from the usual there.

    BWSL 2022/23 Arsenal vs City 02/04 Match Thread

    We've blown this second-half on our merits but that was fucking shocking refereeing. You could have waited about ten seconds, let the shot be taken, and still got the player attention that wasn't really needed.

    Conti Cup 2022/3 Arsenal vs Man City 08/02

    She'd be another player as the most advanced central midfielder, she's doing a job at the moment but it's clearly not her strong suit. In a different world we keep Walsh/replace her properly, and Hasegawa's doing the job Castellanos is trying to do.

    How? Hemp and Kelly were better than her out-wide, Mewis/Weir/Walsh were better than her in the middle. He'd have had to change the entire shape of the team for a player on a one-year contract who wasn't fit for the first couple of months she was here. Picking the team based on reputation is bad...

    Definitely one to keep an eye on, I never found it too hard to believe she had injury issues, but he was so quiet about it earlier in the season it smacked of not being interested in making it work when she actually was fit! I agree with your point but I can't agree with your examples there...
