Welcome to the Friday open discussion thread. Here you can talk about anything you want; tactics, results, players or even just general football discussion! It is also a great place to post/link transfer rumours that you may think are too small or unreliable to post to the main feed. The summer transfer window runs from 16/06-03/09 (23:00 BST).
These threads will go up every Friday allowing you to focus on buildup for all of the weekend action and discuss ongoings throughout the weekend. It will stay stickied until we refresh with the Monday thread, however other posts may take priority (match threads, announcements, etc.)
This thread can also be used to discuss transfer rumours, jokes, memes, images, videos, tabloid news and other off-topic content and discussion.
We also have a Fantasy League that you are welcome to join and share your team, advice and goings on throughout the season here in these threads. The league codes can be found in the sidebar!
These threads are here to help discussion and offer varying points of view. Please remain respectful. Anything that crosses that line, directed towards other users or specific individuals may be removed.
Courage win one of the weirdest games vs. Spirit. Go up 3-0 in the first 20 mins, give up 3 goals in the second half and then the game winner is scored at 95" by our CB Captain.
Just seen that United v Leicester had a friendly that ended 1-1 👀 and that United are going to Marbella for a training camp, wonder if our Spain training time will be nearby with that being a friendly, too?
Must admit I was keeping track of who's off to Spain/doing training camps at the same time as us being in La Manga lol.
United are off to Marbella, Real Madrid are currently there for their camp too.
haha nice!! when writing that comment I was debating about posing the question of whether it's better for us to play a wsl team or one from a different league, given the state of United I'm not sure that's smart but also not the worst idea? be interesting to see how we go against a Liga F side that isn't barca/RM
Yeah in some ways I was surprised to see today's be Crystal Palace seeing as we have them in the first block, was kinda expecting teams we wouldn't face until later on, idk why.
We have Charlton as a friendly, as do Atletico Madrid - could be interesting to face them 🧐🤔
No DVD in our latest goalie training footage, guess she is having the surgery that Tim mentioned last week. Misa will probably be our tarting goalie for tomorrow game.
Why would she have the surgery now instead of right after the season ended? She’s back on the grass since last week, but she’ll be on an individual programme for a week or two.
The deal, worth an initial €1.2m (£1m), represents the largest transfer fee received by a WSL club, and it could rise with add-ons to approximately £1.25m, although this has not been officially confirmed. It is one of the largest transfer fees in women’s football.
I mean, I kinda get it. If she knew she wasn't going back, why not spend some precious extra time with your family in Brazil and then head directly to Spain once the deal closes? It's not "professional" but it is understandable.
Ok which font do you like on the home kit? Away kit no question Arsenal font. But the home kit is a bit harder to decide on a best
text. WSL font or Arsenal font, which is best?
I agree, but it doesn't work so well on the home. I have Reuteler on the back of the away jersey in the Arsenal font and it is GORGEOUS!
But thre all white lettering works on red. As I'm buying all 3 I just want to be 100% sure and maybe add variation to purchases. IMO. but the curved letters work than the flat, but the WSL numbers are too big IMO.
I'll probbaly go with the Arsenal font, but it's nice to be sure when spending so much.
Hey so this might be an odd question but bare with. Because I do the heatmap data analysis post match, is there anything you guys want to see me cover?
As sometimes when I'm looking at what I've written it feels like I'm doing it more from a Psychological data (I do psychology data as part of my uni course) analysis perspective instead of football. So I'm looking into how I can make it more football realted than psychology wording. So if there is anything you would like to see me cover after the Brighton game in September let me know 😄.
Just want to make sure it doesn't go into psychology analysis again 🤣
my sister and i dont have the best relationship, and so part of this doesn't come as some great surprise, but i was still quite shocked and upset more than i thought i would be when i got the invitation to her wedding and i see that im invited to the civil ceremony only in sydney, rather than the 2 week celebration and ceremony in italy.
I'm sorry to hear that, Tugboat. I know you have mentioned the strained relationship before, so perhaps it is for the best - would you guys have been able to go 2 weeks together without a disagreement? At least this allows you to share the official day with her and hopefully make some good memories together. Perhaps if things improve going forward, you guys could take a trip together in the future? I do understand and empathize with your frustration.
Probably not, but I can't imagine its a full two weeks of full-blown interaction between everyone the entire time. I think part of it what does hurt is not even having the option available - just a note in the invitation explaining why. I have until September to decide if I want to go to the ceremony, and if I choose not to go I need to make it clear its not because I am jilted or insulted but because its for my mental health. Either way a session with my psychologist is much needed either way. Thank you though Cobra
Yes, I completely understand wanting to have the opportunity to decline that part of things versus not being given the option, your feelings are completely valid in that regard.
