If you reply to one of my tweets to tell me you don't like women's football you owe @SHARPScotland £5. Opinions my own.

A bit of hopecore to fight against the state that football/the world finds itself in in 2026.. 11 players that are fighting against evil (I love a flair for the dramatic) and using their platforms to create positive change. Good eggs. Gamechangers.

Brighton remind me of PML era Scotland. The system seems to highlight so many players' weaknesses/put them in uncomfortable positions whilst simultaneously minimising the impact of their most dangerous players

Nnadozie has to stop that cross for me. The ball can't be going through the 6 yard box on the ground for a keeper of her level.

Maestre has a good thing going with Godfrey but because he works for a club with absolutely no semblance of squad planning he's now abandoned that to get star players in the team and it all looks very dysfunctional. Can we skip to the LCL 114 charges?

This Brighton team... What is the vision may I ask?

Actually after that shot, maybe Seike is a defender

Why has Ure got his full name on the back of his top?

Genuinely curious how the City charges are approached since the PL can't legislate to the EFL (unless they buy the EFL before handing out charges which would be quite funny given the nature of the charges).

Spreading a point deduction over the period of charges prob makes the sense but if it's like 5 points per charge that's -60 a season which would mean ~100 points to stay up and I don't know if the PL would be happy having 1/3 relegation essentially decided for nearly a decade

Just finished my first day of work as Man City's lawyer! Hope I am doing a good job

Had loads of emails titled "transfer request - URGENT" come through, excited to learn what that's about tomorrow

[Spoiler] Buffon having a stupidly long career helped me massively, guy has played with every journeyman there's ever been

Feel like a fool for immediately going for the Larsson > Messi route now (Kvara and Messi not crossing over at PSG feels wrong)

The game currently shows the first quickest one it can think of as the solution yesterday which was an extremely unusual route. Few people got the same lowest score with the much more conventional Lennon-McGeady-Lukaku-Kvaratskhelia

Oh I hadn't watched the Disney+ UWCL pre-game coverage yesterday, had not realised how bad it was... What are they doing? Why is one of the presenters making a drink and getting cheese from the cheeseboard?? Why is there a cheeseboard???

This is great, I just wish this level of coverage could have been given to her and others when they were still in the SWPL (not Megan's fault, to be clear)

Those at Hearts tell stories about Eva Olid: how her HC application used team footage no one knew how she got. Her tactics, her details + yes, the adaptations to win. “Man Utd are in transition. There’s no better person than Eva to lead.” @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7619785…

Eva Olid is a manager with a philosophy. How she implements it at Man Utd will define her tenure...

Plenty of WSL managers before her have failed to adapt quickly enough but there are signs the Spaniard is prepared to compromise on style

Mad that there's no Hibs or Hearts players in the Scotland squad by the way (or that Nic Doc is the only Rangers player) by the way

I see Andreatta hasn't learned from the long line of SWNT managers not to call up players who are injured

Between Cuthbert, Weir, Grimshaw, Cornet, Taylor, and MacLean there's only 190 minutes of football played this season. The other two midfielders have 373 minutes between them but Kerr has been playing RB and McAneny LWB. Andreatta couldn't find one midfielder playing regularly?

It's a huge fixture for WWC qualifying so I get having consistency but surely you have to adjust for players who aren't playing? Rodgers has been in the squad before and has played almost the same number of minutes as the entire midfield selection on her own. Or McCleary.
