  1. The ups and downs of a City supporter. From looking fresh and full of beans, we are looking at a few key players who may be unavailable the first game. Football eh?
  2. In the few games I’ve watched so far, I’ve seen no play acting / diving. The tackle on Chloe Kelly yesterday, down her shin, would have seen premier league “all stars” writhing around on the deck. Similar where the keeper was bathed in the early stages of the Netherlands game - bounces back up, gets on with it. Putting many of the Men’s game to shame.
  3. Not close enough to either Wolves or Bournemouth, yet if it was 20m, add ons and a player - is there anyone worth taking from either clubs if offered?
  4. We’ll find out after Cornick’s preseason. That’s said, I think we are a stronger starting eleven since Semenyo departed.
  5. Leyton Orient dicked Newcastle 5-1 in preseason the year Newcastle romped the championship. Not ideal but not the end of the world.
  6. Down tools, go AWOL, cause unrest etc. Not suggesting he will mind you. Pearson seems to have a father son sort of relationship with the youngsters. Arm around when required, tough love and honesty on other occasions.
  7. Why would Burnley decline to switch it to their ground though? Home advantage, more fans, less travel (better for fans), potential of picking up 3 points etc? I’d rather play at home than travel to Luton!
  8. Wasn’t Walsh good spell with Coventry in the league below?
  9. I don’t believe we’ve let him go for nothing unless the Knight deal is weighted against it.
  10. If I could guess a club who’d appoint the first female coach, then FGR would be up there. Something about their Chairman and the public eye. Cynical I know. Wish her the best of luck.
  11. Clearly missed my post where I answered “Yes” meaning I’d not seen the post as “otherwise I wouldn’t have written it”.
  12. Maybe Scott is close to going and we are chasing deals prior so we aren’t quoted inflated prices perhaps?
  13. Had a couple of first team appearances for us many moons ago. Well respected coach now.
  14. I do wonder whether with both Roberts and the links to Bryan we are expecting some movement with Pring.
  15. And hopefully your right. I still think he’ll start the season with us.
  16. Going by posts from many fans across Twitter where they’ve suggested their club sign Scott for a few million - I think our fans and club are hugely overvaluing Scott. I understand the club doing it to obtain optimal price but I can’t see any club offering any more than 10m quid for him.
