If only Leah Williamson and Beth Mead get honoured of the 23 #Lionesses , that doesn't sit right. #WEURO2022 success was a *team* effort, so naturally recognition should be collective. For context, all the England 1966 Men's World Cup winners got MBEs. Why not the same here?

The number of ACL injuries across women's football in recent months seems RIDICULOUS. We really need more research and fast, because as numbers of full-time athletes increase the ACL count only rapidly rises. Rubbish to think how many top players might miss #WWC2023 with ACLs.

Even now it's hard to find words for my emotions on this #FIFAWorldCup I have a perspective few will have on it, having lived in Qatar & worked for BeIn Sports from 2018-19. I'm proudly part of the #LGBTQ + community & these are my thoughts: #NoPrideWIthoutAll #Qatar2022 #FIFA

Sport is for ALL of us to enjoy equally. The idea of dividing it on identity lines is the opposite of what, for me, is the great strength of sport. I'm proudly a mentor with @WomeninFootball , and make no apologies for actively wanting to be part of change. #WomenInFootball

I get the appeal of a Women’s Nations League. However, SO many players & coaches already tell me privately off-record there’s WAY too much international ⚽️ , and travelling as a result, compared to club. I’d have far preferred UEFA fixed the gaping lack of a Europa League.

Worth highlighting: New format sees nations play up to 18 competitive Uefa games between autumn 2023 and #WEuro2025 (and at least 12-14 each) - i.e. A LOT more competitive games compared to 2021-23 (most Uefa teams had 10 or fewer and only Portugal (ICPO) will play more than 12)

Not simple for #MUWomen but for me rejecting is the right call. They desperately need to finally get top 3 and #UWCL , and selling Alessia Russo now with almost zero time to replace could well cost them that, regardless of transfer fee. #ManUnited #MUFC #Arsenal #AFC #BarclaysWSL

Understand Man Utd have rejected Arsenal's bid for Alessia Russo. Would have been a world-record fee, as first revealed by @David_Ornstein . MUFC don't want to strengthen a rival in January. Talks aren't 100% dead, yet, though. More detail on @TeleFootball

Hold up. Having been told that Frida Leonhardsen Maanum *wants* to be known using both surnames, you'd like me to tell her to remove one of her two surnames, which represent her two parents, because hearing her name said *correctly* bothers you so much you muted it? Wow.🤯

Yet ANOTHER ACL injury in women's football. Beth Mead, who was in the best spell of her career. As I said before, it sadly seems inevitable that so many players will likely miss #WWC2023 with ACLs. So much needs to change on this. #Lionesses #Arsenal #MUWomen #BarclaysWSL

The number of ACL injuries across women's football in recent months seems RIDICULOUS. We really need more research and fast, because as numbers of full-time athletes increase the ACL count only rapidly rises. Rubbish to think how many top players might miss #WWC2023 with ACLs.

TRIGGER WARNING - that so many are so keen to defend Mason Greenwood on a moral level, despite the disgusting and clear evidence, is yet another example of how rife misogyny is in Men’s sport, which in theory should be for all, but in reality is so far from that in so many ways.
