…I have found myself oddly moved to tears at full time. What a joyous experience.

Well done, ladies. Outstanding.

Never mind them…well done John Terry
Sitting watching the women and trying not to bite with all the comparisons to the men’s game.

It dawned on me and it might seem controversial because he’s not known for being a nice human that John Terry should be talked about more when it comes to women’s football, not only did he bail out the Chelsea women’s team with his own money back in 2010ish but also got other players at the time to put their hands in their pockets and support their women’s clubs and as such helped the WSL to become what it is now and in turn help create this generation of talent for England.

Conspiracy time
So I was perusing the fixture list on a lazy (mildly hungover) Sunday in preparation for another painful season of Fantasy Football and I saw that City and Liverpool have a relatively easy start. This includes three plum home fixtures out of the first five, and two of those are back to back (b2b). Then I looked at United’s fixtures and our fairly trick start, typical but no complaints, which led me to notice that throughout the season we play more away games b2b than most other teams. Taking last year’s top 6, total number of times playing back to back away games looks like this:

City – 3
Liverpool – 2
Chelsea – 2
Spurs – 3
Arsenal – 3
United – 4

Now not really an issue, assuming this is reflected in the number of b2b home games to balance it out. Although to my absolute horror the number of b2b home games tells a different, somewhat shocking story:

City – 4
Liverpool – 3
Chelsea – 2
Spurs – 3
Arsenal – 3
United – 3

So we (United) have most away runs and no real advantage in terms of a run of games at home. How does that work? And City are absolutely gifted!

Of course every team plays the others home and away but if a team…
