@ConnerRoberts_ We all know how we can 'continue growing' - investment & a board that actually care. Not losing our best players & resetting every season. Better coaching. A proper recruitment strategy (blatantly obvious we need cover at CB, CM/CDM & RW all season, but focus is on strikers?) ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
@ConnerRoberts_ Saw this coming when they triggered option. Very poor decision.
Top scorer, but adds more than goals (our press is virtually non-existent when she's not there to lead it, as shown by last few games!) & surely her value will only go up.
Doesn't bode well for future renewals either

My final theatre count of 2025 = 103 shows ๐ญ๐

So many highlights, I couldn't choose a favourite. I hope for another stagey year in 2026!
@AllForUnitedWFC So disappointed, especially with Arsenal & Chelsea dropping points, it's a massive missed opportunity. Lacklustre in every area. Too much focus on PSG perhaps but can't afford to be complacent in the league like that.
@AllForUnitedWFC Proud of them for weathering that storm & giving it everything. Still need to be much more clinical so we aren't just clinging on, but a big 3 points. Will be interesting to see if we appeal that red card.
Brilliant night celebrating the 10th anniversary of @hopemilltheatre. Fell in love with it on my first visit for Parade & now can't imagine Manchester without it. Thank you to @Joseph_Houston@WilliamWhelton & all the staff over the years & here's to many more memories! ๐ญโฅ๏ธ
Everyone at WSL Football extends its deepest sympathies to the family, friends and loved ones of Matt Beard following news of his passing.
Matt played an instrumental role in the growth of women's football and will be missed by everyone associated with the game.
Rest in peace, Matt.
Historic night at LSV, qualifying for the Champions League for the first time - what a performance. ๐โฝโฅ๏ธ๐ค
Nice of us to let Brann make history in Norway too & hopefully win some more fans over there first... ๐๐๐

@aoifemannion_ It was great to hear you on comms Aoife, really enjoyed your insights & hope we get to hear more from you. And keep saying 'we' and 'us' as much as you want, you helped get us there after all. Once a Red and all that๐๐ด
@ConnerRoberts_ Only positives are no major outgoings & the 2 new signings improve last years squad. But feels like we've been far too slow & naive to the growth of the market. This window needs to be a massive wake up call that without proper investment we will soon be left too far behind.
Great article. I was at the 18th June show & it doesn't surprise me sadly. Selling the 1st preview of a new musical as a 'gala extravaganza' was the first red flag & it was apparent within 5 mins it was financially unsustainable.
Hope talented cast & crew are paid what is owed!
This Hampton / Coll water bottle story.... ๐
There's clearly two bottles when Kelly takes the winning penalty (one in the towel in front of the hoardings & one by the net) so make of that what you will...๐
