The only shock here is that the dachshund isnโ€™t just barking at the costume!

Stenevik and Kitagawa have a bit more about them too.

Were you on the Bootle Arriva bus? That smelled really badly of urine.

Completely agree. Myself and my OH saw the club announcement of his new deal and we both screamed โ€œNo!!!! Why?????โ€ at the same time.

It is. Itโ€™s his philosophy though and he wonโ€™t change it.

Same as his belief that the womenโ€™s game is different to the menโ€™s and women donโ€™t have specialist positions - they can play anywhere.

We do not have a right back. He failed to sign one because anyone can play there, apparently.

We got battered in both halves and were lucky that United couldnโ€™t hit the target in the first half. Ramsey also made some good saves.

Because he tells them to. Thatโ€™s the thing. She was looking forwards and then would turn back. As you say, they all do it.

Same with messing around with the ball in our own penalty box. It comes from him.

Same, I was in the East, but he has done it for the three years heโ€™s been at the club.

He had the excuse of not having the players he wanted. No heโ€™s got no-where to hide and just blames the players by saying they arenโ€™t โ€œconsistent enough.โ€

On the plus side, Mace had her best game for us today.

Robinson had Sandberg in her pocket and on a booking, before he inexplicably took her off.

We scored a goal.

Ramsey did well.

Thatโ€™s all the positives Iโ€™ve got.

For me itโ€™s the micro-management on the touchline. All our play only ever goes down one side in the first half and the opposite side in the second. Itโ€™s whichever is closest to the dugouts.

The players have no confidence of their own abilities or judgement when he tells them every pass to make.

12.10.2025 14:24 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Should never have been given a new contract.

12.10.2025 14:20 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Itโ€™s not pedantic when you said they let her contract expire and she left on a free. That wasnโ€™t the case.

City swapped Park plus cash for Clinton. Park was part of the fee for Clinton.

Courtney Brosnan is the first choice keeper and is out with a knee injury. Ramsey kept us in the game first half.

12.10.2025 13:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

She didnโ€™t sign for United on a free though. They swapped Grace Clinton (who came through our academy) for her.

Also, Jess Parkโ€™s dad is an Evertonian.

Park was never our player, she was only on loan from City to gain experience. They wouldnโ€™t have sold her to us.

12.10.2025 13:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Sheโ€™s a winger being asked to lead the line.

Itโ€™s a show about how lies and propaganda were spread about a group of people which lead to hysteria breaking out and people turning on each each other. This mass hysteria spread on both sides of the Atlantic and was perpetuated by those in power.

Rylan hosts.

No, itโ€™s not This Morning.

Which is totally fine. Itโ€™s the people who try to impose their non-watching on others by saying just because they donโ€™t, others shouldnโ€™t.

I donโ€™t like a lot of other sports, but I accept some people do without issue.

Unfortunately there has been a lot of short-sightedness around in Womenโ€™s football for a lot of teams - even now.

There are plenty of new songs she can learn though. Iโ€™m sure she will have a great time.

Thatโ€™s pretty good, especially when the other Bristol team will take a lot of the limelight, particularly with their season in WSL1.

Thatโ€™s pretty cool, to be honest.

Equally, not everyone wants to go to the Premier League football given the toxic masculinity that can surround the menโ€™s game.

I know a couple of Reds who are going to the womenโ€™s match on Sunday to check out our new place as well.

I wouldnโ€™t even be so sure!

I know itโ€™s more likely to be a Celtic fan, but I wouldnโ€™t rule it out being someone who is unhappy with the way their club is headed.

I always say that you find ways to turn down the volume on the voice that tells you that you arenโ€™t good enough or that catastrophizes everything.

Poor mental health makes you view the world through a skewed lens. How you view yourself in the world is not how others will see you.
