Good strong team again. Hope they've got there finishing boots on today.

Back to back City-watching this afternoon :-)

Just hope we're winning this one comfortably by the time the boys kick off

Yep. Though shouldn’t be much of an overlap - if any - with a 12.15pm start should there?

Depends on how much added time at the end of each half.

Yep - the chances of the second half kicking off at 13:15 is nil, probably nearer 20 past.
Having said that, the boys might not kick off bang on 2 either

 

[Wombat]

Hoping for 2 wins, and perhaps dropped points by Liverpool (chaps) and Chelsea (lasses)

 

[Gray]

Everything is so slow and ponderous.

Grim game on a grim day

 

[paulchapo]

Like the men's side, one chance, goal.

 

[waspish]

First attack 1 down

 

[Bigga]

What the hell happened there??

 

[bluealf]

just like the men, 1 shot 1 goal, 1st chance against us hits the net, it really is quite amazing.

 

[Gray]

Fart around for 20 minutes and concede to Villas first attack

 

[Bigga]

Actually, a good striker's goal! Nice deft touch with the outside flick.

Not sure I can say our keep's "should do better".

 

[paulchapo]

The joyful relish in the commentators voice.

Where's that girl who used to be in goal? I saw her play a few times last season she looked great.

We need to find a top keeper who is not a midget.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

There must be a new rule to say we can't shoot without the centre halves touching the ball X number of times... We've been in so many promising positions only for it to end up back with Greenwood or Alexandri
