Manchester City Women (merged)

[blue b4 the moon]

I watched the 'old' team play a few times prior to first team games over the last couple of seasons, they were were poor and it was freezing in the Athletics stadium every time i went.

This season I've been meaning to go but due to other stuff in my life I've not made it. I have watched the first game v Liverpool where we seemed like a team of strangers which I suppose they were at the time.

The game tonight while not quite as bad a Sunday morning footie to be honest isn't very good.

Hopefully it'll get better and we can pull in a trophy. It'd be a nice touch if we win to parade it at the Spurs game I'm the Tottenham fans would enjoy it as Arsenal would have not won it.

although the women could teach the men how to clear the first man at a corner

and how to stay on their feet and not dive etc

Proves my point if all you've got is one example in 57mins :)

It does.

I've seen a few games and the women are far more likely to get straight up after being knocked to the ground than the men are.

Far less fouls too, ok so it's never going to be as physical as the mens game but there's nowhere near as much unnecessary and overly dramatic diving when someone gets a slight tap or nudge.

that was a red card we even get shafted at this level
