I'm pretty sure a position of equal value can be offered. The thing here is how early Tanya went on maternity leave, "normally" the pregnant lady would work closely up to her due date and take the maternity leave after the baby is born. I don't know why, but I've always assumed Matt was only around until the end of this season, but guess he could be around for months yet. Of course Tanya wouldn't be the first to not to return full time, so wouldn't be surprised to see Matt in charge all next season too 18 hours ago, Erithacus said: A decent result, but a win would have been better. Equaliser from ex-Vixen Murray. Now third from bottom, a point ahead of Villa and two ahead of the Hammers. Both have two games in hand though and more importantly they play each other twice before the end of the season. It's going to be a close one. Our run in is tough. Arsenal (4th) Home Villa (11th) Away Man United (3rd) Home Brighton (6th) Away Can't see us getting anything from Arsenal or Manchester United game. Realistically going to have to win at Villa and take at least a point at Brighton. We've also got Brighton Away in the FA Cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted March 29, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 West Ham are bang out of form at the moment, I guess ideally we'd want Villa to win no more than one fixture against them, but preferably draw the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems an easy one to confuse over blue against red. But that's what the ref has called When our first team played recently. Thought the shirt choice was odd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I wonder if the Villa and Hammers do a BCFC/Coventry of many years ago and fix it. They could arrange for each one to win one of the games they play against each other, if the points are similar to now, they would both leap frog our girls.... (assuming 3 points a win?) Stranger things have happened. Villa winning home and away I assume would be best for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 https://www.arsenal.com/news/thank-you-joe-and-good-luck Big news today from City's next opponents this Sunday, Arsenal, confirming that their head coach Joe Montemurro is due to leave at the end of the season. Don't know if this may have a positive or negative influence on them, but they are pushing to get the final Champions League spot this season, and haven't been WSL title contenders for a couple of seasons now, ever since they won it back in 2018/19. Hopefully this could be a huge upset at Twerton Park on Sunday. COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I'd like to think it will be to the girls' advantage, but I suspect that Arsenal will not crumble because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be the team to beat if you want to maintain WSL survival As it stands, this would drop City down to 11th and Villa in bottom. Villa playing Everton tomorrow, and also Birmingham playing Chelsea. If both Midlands teams were to lose, and City win against Arsenal, we'd move up to 9th - but this is all being optimistic for all results to go our way P.S. This is also ex-Vixen Jess Fishlock's last game for Reading before she heads back to OL Reign in the States. Probably not the send-off she was expecting!

BanburyRed Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Birmingham currently offering nothing against Chelsea and consequently getting hammered 3-0 before HT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 FT 0-4. Arsenal got goals at both ends of the first half, and then a two minute fest in the second half. From what I could see, City were better in the first half, and it was disappointing to concede so early as well as right before half time. However, with Chelsea beating Birmingham 6-0, Villa losing 3-1 to Everton, and of course West Ham's result yesterday, there's no change at the bottom of the table, with City still 11th and Villa 12th. Would have posted earlier but just recorded the latest episode of Vixencast, due to be edited & out soon. Similar to other Bristol City fan podcasts; the worse the result, the funnier the episode (usually)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City tired in the last 15-20 minutes and if it wasn't for Sophie Baggaley, it could have been eight or nine. Every now & again, she pulls out an inspired performance and at times, not being disrespectful, it seemed like she was fighting the Gunners on her own. FA Cup next up but I think Aston Villa v City on the 24th could be the biggest game in many years for the girls; with the new TV deal now confirmed, this really isn't the season to find yourself relegated. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Concerning report about the state of things at Birmingham. Seems the women's side is being given second rate treatment by the club and the squad is making it official. Also concerning is the note about the FA helping them to complete their fixtures. Does this make the picture more cloudy? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56642488 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 See Chelsea recorded losses of £1.8m and that included a £4m loan from Abramovich to cover costs of team.

shahanshahan Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 News broke yesterday about the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup; all games taking place Sunday 16 May, a week after the WSL season ends (and the day before fans can return to live sport!!!) Winners of Brighton v City this Sunday in the fourth round will go on to host non-league Huddersfield or Derby... https://womenscompetitions.thefa.com/en/Article/vitality-womens-fa-cup-fifth-round-draw-20210412 (Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if City fielded a weaker team to save the best for the remaining WSL games. A cup run is nice but with the Conti Cup this season already, I'm not as bothered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
