@leahavwfc Don't know what's going on. Something seems to be really wrong with the way the club is being managed (not Natalia) at high level.

@AVWFCOfficial Goals, fun, wins

@jawsavfc @avwfclionesses Also key here that she oversees the sporting director, usually in business that means that the sporting director gives her an overview of what they're doing and maybe gets her to sign off on big stuff every now and again, but she's not making the decisions for them

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@jawsavfc @avwfclionesses Also to add to this, I'm fairly certain she's said in interviews her role is focussed on the off-pitch side of things and she's not that involved with the football decisions side

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@em_sandy Absolutely devastating for Villa if she does go, especially to a team that I'm assuming the club see as a rival

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@mimbl360 @L0u_L0u84 I'm glad it was announced before the last game of the season though, so she can get a proper send-off from the fans

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@poecidebrain That depends on how their university system grades. In the UK 40% is a pass, 50-60% is the next grade, 60-70% the next, and then anything above 70% is the highest grade

@saraofember I had that the other day! We wanted to watch the women's monobob, so selected that on iPlayer and right before the final run it switched to a different sport instead

@_JLA10 @AVWFCOfficial Not even a minute after you wrote that

@306jw @PartPridePod It definitely feels like there are issues going on within the team that have been persisting since Carla was manager. We started the season well, but some of the same issues seem to be creeping back in (lackadaisical attitude from a lot of the players and a lack of communication

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@Nihail_MUFC Rabjohn came up through Aston Villa's academy, she only signed for United when she turned 18. It's still a massive shame that she never got an opportunity to really show her skills at united, like so many other young players that go there.

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@306jw I think the fact we're struggling with injury (again) isn't helping things at the moment either. We've got no Kendall, no Daly, no Kearns

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@xanaofficial_ If it's in Manchester, that's fair. I'm English and don't even drive into Manchester if I can absolutely help it.

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@CFC_Lorna Also, I think half the games that are showing are on TNT sports, and I'm not buying an extra subscription to a sports channel to watch maybe 2 games, when I don't really watch other sport

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@PartPridePod It's got to be the wonderful Miri Taylor right?

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@avwfclionesses If Liverpool weren't playing in the league cup this weekend then I imagine they'd have rearranged it to this weekend

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@avwfclionesses From my understanding under loading is to do with injury risk from not enough match time. I reckon part of it was to do with the fact that this weekend was pencilled in for the cup and because the league has a mandated 2 week winter break, which then players need to build up from

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@306jw @jn8gifs Equally, I feel like I'm a prime market for women's football, previously disengaged, young adult, fairly new fan (returned post 2022, after previous interest in 2015/16/17), and yet this doesn't appeal to me at all. I want the nerdy stats/analysis stuff, not so much influencers

[Just Sophie @APlaceOfMine]

@306jw @jn8gifs I think the fact that you feel like it's not being marketed to you (I agree, you're probably right) actually shows a real gap in the market. My mate, also a man in his 30's, has become a Grace Fisk fan because of FIFA, and yet that hasn't transferred into being a wsl fan
