Women's Team Thread 2023/2024

Shit, if we win the league does that mean I need to be nice about Gareth Taylor?

 

[BringBackSwales]

They've pipped us to the title twice indeservedly in the last few years.
One where the Chelsea keeper made a last minute unbelievable save against us going right in the top corner that she had no right to make, that denied us points that resulted in them winning it.

The other was giving them the title in Covid year despite us being top and they gave it them on average points per game.

Can't understand Hayes crying to the press they are not going to win anything this year when it's clearly not done yet and we have a couple of tricky games. I must admit seeing their players in tears at the end of that game gave me a warm feeling inside. Rather them than our girls.

I doubt Gareth T will think its over either. We'll be ready to give it all against Arsenal. Let's hope their determination to upset us isn't as strong as their disappointment at finishing 3rd. I'd like us to win it against them at home in front of a full house at the Joie rather than a horribly nervous nail biting affair away versus Villa. But I realise this is City and we don't do easy......

Is Sunday sold out?

Entitled,publicity seeking moody cow.

Droning on, she'd put a glass eye to sleep.

The yanks deserve her !!

Yep. I think they've really done our team dirty by not scheduling that game at the etihad. Arsenal is always a big game for us anyway and it's been clear for a while that a lot could be riding on this.

Guess on the plus side it should be a great atmosphere with everyone packed in on Sunday.

I can't make my mind up whether it's GT who has found the elixir or that the players have individually and collectively found their mojos. Bunny has been a phenomenal goal machine, Lauren Hemp continues with her input, and Jess Park has begun to shine! And the defenxe has been pretty rock solid. I think I'll put it down to a team and coaching staff masterclass. (Can I say 'masterclass' in women's footy?)

 

[mattcity5]

The BBC say they're an advocate for women's football, but won't open a HYS on last night's 'game of the season'.
Anyone would think they're hurting.
Could it be all the pre-creaming they've been doing over Klopp and Hayes as blown up in their faces.

It's a bit weird but there's been a couple of BBC articles on injuries in the Women's game in the last few days and there are no links to share them at all within the app. It's almost like they are trying to avoid interaction.

You know what, seeing how Hayes and Eidevall have behaved fairly regularly this season, makes me appreciate Taylor a bit more. He's always been dignified when representing the club and comes across well, unlike them. I've had doubts about his ability, but if success comes then I'm really pleased for him.

This.
Plus that corrupt officiating at ours early this season with the joke sending off and time added on to the already hefty time added on for them to score.
2 very tough games for us and they will easily claw back 4,5 or 6 on the GD v Bristol City. They have Rags away also so still all to play for

So there’s no chance it could be moved to the Etihad stadium?

It won't happen at this stage now. They've had plenty of lead time to make it happen but have chosen not to. It's a shame when you have Arsenal getting 42k for a dead rubber against Leicester last week to not see City maximising opportunities to get more fans through the gates and give our attendances a much needed boost.
