reading about catley’s reaction to hearing about sam’s acl injury 😖
“i literally felt like someone stabbed me in the stomach […] i just felt really emotional because i felt really removed from it and i couldn’t go and see her and i couldn’t speak to her in that moment.”
whats crazy to me is that AKB not only leaves the club as one of the greatest to ever wear the chelsea crest, but her influence on hannah hampton has set us up for the future. like she’s leaving us with such a gift—truly priceless
don’t care if ppl think the chelsea tour is corny, this club fell so short in terms of marketing, they’re finally stepping up their game and promoting the hell out of the women’s team on an international scale as they SHOULD 👏 let’s hope they keep it up $$$ MAKE THOSE BAGELS
west ham doesn’t seem interested in extending macca’s contract even tho she’s down 😬 between that & cissoko & shimizu bouncing things are looking a little grim. hope they give her 1 more szn with a fully fit gorry & mewis + new defensive signings to see if things change for her
makes sense. she gave her blood, sweat, tears & every waking minute of her life to chelsea for over a decade and she did so with passion and genuine care and success 👏 IT’S EXHAUSTING. she needed this change as much as the uswnt needed someone like her to come in. she earned it
the chelsea standard 😮💨 might not always be pretty or dominant but they get the job done. the self-awareness regarding mid performances without giving excuses and never underestimating their opponents is a huge factor to their success imo. good attitude!
this isn’t even subtle anymore. the blatant mishandling of fouls on mayra by these amateur refs is at a sinister high—absolute evil negligence on their part
interesting 👀 tbf chelsea demonstrates all the qualities magda claims they lack in her comparisons. while she’s right about individual players who step up in big games, the whole team rose to the occasion starting or off the bench bc club comes 1st, not individual entitlement
sonia bompastor on building her own identity and vision for the club while staying respectful of the legacy emma hayes left at cfcw 👏 it’s definitely cool to know they’re both open to sharing notes to ensure a successful transition

every time someone asks a cfcw player to sum up bompastor’s training philosophy or how things have changed since she took over they all say the spike in “intensity” is the main difference 👀 kind of interesting to know she’s more of a drill sergeant than hayes was
“i never defended him” — yet they made the choice to protect him by “gatekeeping” a video they knew would justify certain managers and players’ criticisms of him 🤷🏻♀️ they should ask themselves why they felt the need to do that in the first place
this team loses their heads when the refs start acting up. makes u realize why emma never called fouls in training so that cfcw could learn to just lock in and get on with the game 😭 can’t afford to buckle like that
injury crisis fc won the league after hitting us with that one-two bottle job punch 😭 they really said SIKE BITCHES! insufferable legends i fucking love them
a random canada soccer support staff member wouldn’t take the liberty to fly a drone over the opposition’s training camp unless they were explicitly instructed to. especially if the opposition is new zealand 😭 like come on bev what happened to SHAME
gonna be real here… chelsea have the reputation and means to make emergency signings if we need them. just hope erin isn’t seriously hurt bc she’d be a huge loss to our tragic midfield setup if they don’t have a contingency plan. THERE’S TIME THO. i’m not gonna freak out yet
LJ wearing socks on the foot hiding in the back but not the other on display, like she quickly kicked off her boots for the photo to spin a still injured narrative and—*GUNSHOT*
