Michael Spicer posted a wonderful clip yesterday "If art critics spoke like football pundits."
Here is my response: If football pundits spoke like Art Historians.

@muwfcs @ian_hamilton17 The release from UEFA 2 seasons ago said just the 61 group stage onwards - spent 45’ on a web chat with DAZN last night & was basically told “check closer to the match” 🤦‍♂️ so I think the answer is UEFA hold the rights, but DAZN haven’t acquired the quali (at least not yet)

[chris @chrisbric3]

@Tim_Titanium @kevichella @muwfcs True - and I agree….but I don’t think those clubs will offer the wages Arsenal are (again - making an assumption) which is the problem

[chris @chrisbric3]

@kevichella @muwfcs Possibly making assumptions - guessing the money Arsenal are offering is more than European clubs - hence Russo went there. same works in reverse; it seems to have been easy to Geyse after winning the champions league! I think Arsenal are just writing blank cheques & we aren’t

[chris @chrisbric3]

@AnnemarieDray I agree - I think the wing backs/back 3 won’t work so well (I felt the same against Nigeria tbh)

[chris @chrisbric3]

@natalie_17 I hope so….any others? I’m probably looking int he wrong place for rumours. I keep seeing links to more midfielders

[Ian Wright @IanWright0]

There are over 100 000 more girls playing football than there were 5 years ago but only 5% of FA-qualified coaches in England are women. And there is an entire generation of knowledgeable, passionate female football fans who never had access to playing the game in any form. We'd love to keep that passion in the game.

So today with the @BarclaysFooty Community Football Fund we will be providing hundreds of grants to cover the cost of the FA Introduction to Coaching Football course and this will hopefully be the starting point in the coaching journey for many more female coaches across the UK.

@RationalUtd @AnnemarieDray All I can hope is that what I’ve read in the past (that people have let him get away with poor behaviours) is stopped by EtH, and that having a baby makes him grow up and change - I don’t want to excuse him; just a slightly naive hope….for her and the child’s sake

[chris @chrisbric3]

@RationalUtd @AnnemarieDray Exactly this - they say 7 years on average. I don’t want him back - I know what i saw. That said, I feel the club will let him back - and it looks like their hands are tied; without a crime on record, or the complainant…I don’t see how they can do much else.

[chris @chrisbric3]

@AnnemarieDray I’ve found that too - struggling to find the calm voices !

Our u16 girls team are looking to add 1 more player to complete their squad. Contact the details for more information. @ECGFL_2018 @BCFAYL @EssexCountyFA

@campbellclaret Tragically I know exactly where that is from just the hedge 🤦‍♂️

[chris @chrisbric3]

Looks mismanaged by the club - fine, but to go to a rival hurts a lot!

[Jamie Spencer @jamiespencer155]

As per The Athletic, Man Utd were ‘disappointed’ that a ‘very generous’ offer to Alessia Russo didn’t get the deal done. On the player’s side, the first acceptable offer wasn’t made until well into May.

Been told separately Utd’s offer matched Arsenal.

Did you know by the age of 14 girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys?! 🤔

It’s time we address this and build equity for the future of the beautiful game.

@PoliticsJOE_UK Interesting chat - I don’t think the question is economic- I think it’s about apparent indifference of the Tories & lack of decency - most ppl don’t buy a house for wealth, but by making it harder & saying “and I don’t care” - they’re setting themselves against people’s dreams

[chris @chrisbric3]

@Namrata_Ydv I’d say just don’t engage with these people - yeesh - lots of men would be horrified with Greenwood coming back. I don’t think women should have to justify their existence
