@AFCMet Said the exact same thing.

If you aren’t gonna give a penalty, surely that’s a yellow card for a dive from the Southampton player?

@Since71Blog Honestly not sure it would. I suspect an extra team just means 15-20 more foreign players.

Young talent would certainly benefit if we increased the number number of teams in the Barclays WSL. Hopefully allowing for more minutes at the highest level.

@elsieheatherr @Emma_mcwfc I mean it's 1 minute so doesn't change the state of it much. It's basically 3 wonderkids in Beney, Hopmberg and Buurman who are getting minutes.

@bcwatkinson @Emma_mcwfc Yes, I think I was aware of that but couldn't remember what the deal was!

Would be curious about the amount of minutes being played in the WSL by non-English teenagers

@Emma_mcwfc @elsieheatherr Selin Cemal is from London and chose to represent Türkiye.

@elsieheatherr Thank you - the total matches what others have said so I think it’s accurate. Think it’s interesting most (if not all) of these players also play decent minutes for their senior national team rather than being players in earlyish development.

@UnbiasedArsenal @KathrynBatte This is a very similar question to ones that have been asked about the Premier league for a decade. About if the strength of the Prem is a danger to the England national team.

@KathrynBatte Nope. WSL is stronger than those leagues because more international players. Other leagues fill out their squads with homegrown NPCs.

Are young English players being failed in the women's game? Number of minutes played by homegrown teenagers in top women's leagues. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿1,897 🇪🇸17,806 🇩🇪13,657 🇫🇷11,030 🇮🇹6,323 A broken loan system has seen several youngsters move abroad. Long-read here: telegraph.co.uk/womens-footbal…

@mortan01 @MaxRadwan Can you not read?

@MaxRadwan ? What does this tweet even mean?

Remembering that there people that only support one Arsenal team… there’s a whole different world out there

@MelodeathAddict @MaxRadwan He's remembering that there is a whole different world out there full of cretins who only watch mens football

@MaxRadwan Your profile explicitly states that you literally talk about the Women's game. So what's your point?

@trossqrd I assume they'll go full bore all.out for Felicia Shroeder.

Tbf Chelsea scouts are gonna have to do some digging because who on earth are they going to bring in

everyone needs to go and watch deadloch right now so it gets renewed for season 3, its very gay and very funny !!

@ArtetaEra for me it was that Sanchez never stayed anywhere more than 2 seasons. I knew it would happen eventually. Also he fucking hated being at Utd and that is quite funny.

Unrelated but why do Arsenal fans love Alexis Sanchez but hate Van Persie?

@itskokostime @masiamade 25k is too small for a champions league final. It just is.

@bcwatkinson @masiamade The past euros in Switzerland the biggest stadium was 38K. as women’s football grows some countries might not be able to host tournaments but for now we shouldn’t degrade the size of arenas just because we think the crowd should be bigger. Football in Norway should grow too.

really funny when you consider that this year’s uwcl final revenue has only 28k seats

@max1_james Pal we all understand why Madrid want to keep Caicedo. What we don't understand is why Caicedo who could walk into any team in the world wants to stay in Madrid.

A lot of idoits here around Tim's comments & his followers in same time Don't you believe investments in women football? Sure Real Madrid try to make investments by trying to keep its players to build project around them but in short-term which your narrow mind can't understand

@itskokostime @masiamade Yes. Stadiums in Norway don't host the men's finals either. Or the Euros, or the World Cup. If the biggest stadium is too small then the country cannot host.

@masiamade I know that it feels frustrating because the number is so low, but it’s just the biggest stadium in Norway. And while I think that they should try to hold the final in the biggest places possible that will mean that places like that stadium in Norway won’t be able to host

@timstillman_ Impossible to tell that.

Handball?

@itsallpelova The Musee de la Confluence is quite cool.

Googling things to do in Lyon

@Lamb00Gooner @GazAFC25 No that one is a classic.

@bcwatkinson @GazAFC25 Yep, and that fucking never ending one “arse a nallll fccccccc” fuck off.

Ashburton Army are getting some name for themselves today aren't they 🫣 Surely they aren't all in on it?

@Lamb00Gooner @GazAFC25 The drum is so often not in rhythm but the thing I hate most is they don't join on when other songs get going.

@GazAFC25 Few in the clock end including us have requested to move for next season. The drums, the shite songs, attitude like they own the place. Only people who like em are kids and there parents/mates.

@Afc_El_ I hate the singular and then it's the use of PK instead of penalty.

the absolute worst thing by far when having the misfortune of hearing an american commentate is them referring to a team as a singular entity (eg. wolfsburg is having to defend to deep here). makes my head hot every time, stupid idiots

Me showing everyone I meet pictures of my cat even though they didn’t ask

@Cookeezi1 @timstillman_ You can if you are from Latin America.

@bcwatkinson @timstillman_ I'm not sure if you can have dual nationality in Spain, well you can't if you're British

Still not sure I will ever understand why Linda Caicedo signed with Madrid until 2031.
