  1. Surely it makes sense to be abroad as there won't be any decent number of fans in attendance if the fight is in the UK. Difficult to tell who is going to buy the tickets, not alone if there will be more supporting one than the other Of course what both boxers will want is the rematch clause, that is the fight they will look to hold in the UK at the end of the year
  2. It looked like a real dull evening out, the later sessions were awful Almost as bad as Peter Wright looked - what a tw@
  3. Interesting interview on sky saying they're hoping for the tier rating to come down again in 9 days. Obviously tiers being reviewed Wednesday and announced Thursday, originally they were to be reviewed weekly, but pretty quickly this was changed to a review every fortnight. Have they changed it back to weekly reviews every Wednesday again?
  4. Reminder the game Friday night is live on Sky Sports Mix
  5. We were playing sides from the lower league. Just shows the gulf between sides that have investment and those that don't
  6. Well that got progressively worse. A long aimless clearance by West Ham was well kept in, an early cross was put into the box, with the City defender sleeping the West ham striker got across her and finished smartly. Oxtoby finally recognised that City needed a second striker bringing on Salmon to replace the ineffective Humphrey (Carla is an enigma, she runs around alot but rarely touches the ball for a centre midfielder) The next attack Baggaley made a great save, but rather than putting the ball out and regrouping the defender oddly played the ball out wide, the West ham player whipped the ball straight back in giving a free header from a matter of yards out to make it 0-3. Near the end another long ball caught City asleep, Baggaley made a save when West ham really should have scored, the ball was hacked away only for a West ham player to dribble unchallenged around the city midfield before setting up her team mate for a simple finish (0-4). It was really odd how often City should put the ball out when in danger but they created numerous problems keeping the ball alive. One personally annoying thing from watching and playing football you learn about movement off the ball, watching City today their decision making on numerous occasions was very poor For me I'm not sure what happens now, the squad is clearly a long way of the other sides in their league, yes there are a handful of quality player's but too many aren't good enough. So removing Oxtoby maybe isn't the natural answer. But on the basis she's pregnant, I think she should step aside. Perhaps someone else can get something out of this squad as many simple things are done badly. Short of the unlikely chance City get promotion form they're going to finish rock bottom and well adrift of everyone else.
  7. Losing 1-0 at half time at home to West Ham, attacking header was cleared off the line but stuck back of City player and went in off back of City player. City thought they'd equalised shortly after with a great finish from a cross from a free kick. City offer no threat up front sacrificing the second striker for a player to sit infront of the defence. Game has got very niggly in final ten minutes of the half, with a couple of City players needlessly lashing out at opponents. I swear I have never witnessed so many foul throws not given before
  8. Not sure he did dodge the question, he said he wants to fight those who hold titles
  9. I was watching the American footage they were showing replays but could hear booing in the background so something was going on. When AJ was in his corner he seemed pretty pissed off about something. Oh well, job done
  10. Possibly covering the purse solely on PPV subscriptions rather than also using ticket sale? Would explain awful undercard
  11. Does anyone have any links for tonight please? £25 A bit steep for me
  12. Still wouldn't bet against Bristol turning this around
  13. I wonder if the guy that stepped in a few games back is being lined up? Seemed odd at the time to bring someone in with no connection to the side. VERY difficult morally for the club to sack her now
  14. Something random I've only noticed recently and I swear it never used to happen When a boxer is introduced their name is announced then their surname is announced again a few seconds later again Any idea why this is?
  15. Possibly an indicator of how much income lost on ticket sales meaning little budget for the undercard
  16. Make no apologies, sadly there will be a whole generation who were not able to enjoy this event

  18. Interesting to read that Mercedes boss Toto Wolff wants to talk with Valtteri Bottas' team after he was out-shined by rookie team-mate George Russell. Someone isn't happy !
  19. Completely agree It could have been resolved
  20. This is the weak excuse that the club claimed, at the end of the day Bath City manage crowds, and I am 100% sure not all their supporters come from Bath. It could have been managed but the opportunity to give the women a lift at two massive fixtures has been lazily missed sadly I'd have thought the publicity alone of Bristol City going toe to toe with the likes of those teams in that league would be enough? The club could then tap into a bigger financial pool for sponsorship?
