Match Review: Manchester United Women 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur Women

In what was dubbed a dress rehearsal for the Women's FA Cup Final on May 12th, United and Spurs managed to share the spoils - for now - but there were positive signs for United if they can sharpen up on goal.

Stats are a lovely tool to have, adding flavour to any match report and game analysis, and the stats - as shown below - point out two things: United were the side in control, and United should have won the game.

United's backline were instantly put under pressure in the first 30 seconds but United woke up and got a good footing in the game. Ella Toone came accidentally close in the 9th minute, trying to find Leah Galton at back post, but it was Melvine Malard who opened the scoring with a beautiful header off a millimetre perfect free kick from deep by Gemma Evans; lofted with the utmost precision for Malard to nod over the approaching Spurs keeper Becky Spencer.

Tottenham countered quickly with Naz and Vinberg - a sign of things to come - but were held off, and as quickly as they hit United, United hit back. Pressure onto Neville saw Naalsund pick up a loose ball outside the box, quick pass to Malard, pivot, shot, and then in the scramble between Spencer, Parris and Nilden, a free kick was given against United.

Poor positioning cost United for the equaliser, with a deep Spurs cross cleared out only as far as Spence. A scuffed volley bobbled the ball through to Beth England for an easy tap home past an aghast Mary Earps, but it was Maya Le Tissier - fresh from her contract signing - that stood out of sync with the rest of the defence and failed to play the offside trap. Frustrating.

United's second goal conceded was in similarly silly circumstances; Mary Earps screaming at Aoife Mannion to chase the loose ball, Mannion presuming Mearps has it, and Tottenham's Vinberg strolling in to play the ball into the box. Le Tissier covered well, with Mannion filling her void in CB momentarily, but wizardry from striker Jess Naz spun captain Katie Zelem and fizzed in a shot straight above Mary Earps' head. Poor from the keeper, poor from Zel, and poor from nearby Tooney who could have easily pressured Naz from that close range with a sprint to jostle. Maybe she was worried about giving away a penalty, but someone should have closed Naz down and forced her to choose the wider path towards a waiting Gemma Evans or to back off outside the box. A communication issue no doubt, given no Jayde Riviere or Hannah Blundell starting.

Blundell on for Mannion at half time made sense, and the second half saw more intensity and aggression from United; with far more crossing to pressure the Spurs defence in the air now that Blundell was on. 55th minute subs introduced both Lucia Garcia for Nikita Parris and Rach Williams for Melvine Malard, but the United couldn't quite find the net. Further subs in the 76th saw Miyazawa on for Toone and Geyse on for Galton, but it took a Gemma Evans corner in the 91st minute to find Rach Williams, the bar, bounce back out, and be crashed into by Maya Le Tissier to even the game up and give United a very much deserved point at Leigh Sports Village.

There will be frustration at United's failure to convert the oh-so-many chances in the second half, but the turnaround in United's style was a good sight to see, and on another day (say, the FA Cup final?) maybe several goals went in and this was a comfortable win rather than a consolation point. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- The disappointment doesn't end there though. Fans will also be concerned at the potential departure of United's tenacious Spaniard Lucia Garcia, whose contract is close to expiring and - based on Instagram - might not be renewed/extended.

And how we will miss her humour, as well as that unquestionable hard work on the field, if she does leave us. Another huge mistake from Manchester United Football Club if so.

Only three games remain in the WSL; Leicester away, Liverpool away, and Chelsea at Old Trafford - before which comes the FA Cup Final at Wembley. It's going to be a difficult few weeks, but the hottest fires produce the strongest steel...

Summary:

It's 1926 and Alexander Horne is a London private detective with more expenses than income. After a night of heavy drinking with his flatmate and colleague Mark Watson, Horne is woken early the following morning to find a client at his door: a woman looking for her missing son. It's an impossible case, but with mounting bills and an empty account, Horne hasn't got much of a choice but to take it. But when his investigation takes him too close to matters beyond his comfort, he's forced to make some tough choices.

Katy Manning, in her second screen role (see her first here), as Julia Dungarvon - full-time typist, part-time coffee shop waitress, and member of more than one love triangle - in Man at the Top: The Prime of Life (1.4, Thames, 1971)

#fave spotting #katy manning #man at the top #doctor who #jo grant #classic doctor who #1971 #classic tv #thames #kenneth haigh #mark mcmanus #keith skinner #i recently picked up s2 of Man at the Top after several years of looking; i got the first series and then network promptly deleted both #individual releases in favour of a complete set and as i wasn't in LOVE with the series i refused to double dip... patience finally #(finally!!) paid off. but it had been so long since i watched s1 that i legit just didn't remember it and thought i should rewatch before #starting series 2. two things came back to me on revisiting: Joe Lampton is a serious contender for old tv's Biggest Bastard and also the #scripts are really actually very very strong (particularly the first few‚ written by novelist John Braine who was the character's original #creator way back when Room at the Top was published in 1957). anyway. one thing i hadn't remembered... and SPOILERS INCOMING FOR S1 OF THIS #OLD SERIES NOBODY WILL BE THAT INTERESTED IN EXCEPT ONE MUTUAL I KNOW HAS SEEN S2.. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED #while i remembered Katy turned up (in 2 eps iirc) i had completely forgotten the absolute ick of a storyline she has. she's Joe Lampton's #15yr old son's 18yr old girlfriend... who Joe then starts sleeping with. blergh. like i said Joe is a piece of work and honestly pretty #unredeemable at times (this a prime example). it's all pretty gross but Katy does well and has a much meatier role than in the Softly #Softly: Task Force she'd done the year before. she was about 25 but convinces as an 18yr old (just as Skinner convinces as a 15yr old but #he too was in his 20s im relieved to say; there's some heavy macking that made me squirm when i knew Katy was 25 and thought he was 15)#shudder. anyway. despite everything I've said this series is better than i remembered‚ mostly bc of those pin sharp scripts that belong to #the power game and the brothers world of big business bitching mixed with familial melodrama. just.. try to be a little less creepy joe.#or a lot less‚ ideally

but it looked good to charlene in john deere green

There's been a quite a bit of backlash regarding Mark Skinner's comments in the postgame presser following Manchester United's loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

On the one hand Mark Skinner came across as an incredibly sore loser.

On the other hand, it perfectly embodies the problem with the WSL.

The reality is the WSL bought into its own hype. WSL fans convinced themselves they were the best league with the best teams and the best teams.

The reality is a game is won by the 11 players on the field, no how many tickets were sold.

An Arsenal fan tweeted - and I have to confess, I really did contemplate posting the screenshot with their names blurred out, but it wouldn't have been that hard to find it and I don't want to encourage mob mentality even towards that morally reprehensible fanbase - anyway. The fan said something along the lines that Arsenal deserved a spot in the group stages because of attendance.

And if that doesn't embody the fact that in the eyes of Arsenal fans, football is merely a popularity contest, I honestly don't know what does.

And I'm curious, too, how far that argument goes, if only because of how flawed it is. I would be genuinely shocked the current rankings stand at the end of the season, but let's say, per the screenshot below, it does.

Manchester United and Arsenal are both outside the top 5. Not even top 3, top 5. I don't have the numbers in front of me but let's say Arsenal leads in attendance. By that fan's theory, Arsenal should make it directly to the group stages despite being out of the Top 5 because "If Arsenal are in it, you're increasing the number of viewers significantly, that in turn increases advertising revenues, which increases prize money and the quality of training / players overall."

I thought Graham Hansen and Barcelona fans saw themselves at the savior of women's football but somehow Arsenal fans made them look humble in comparison, a feat I honestly did not think was possible.

And like, I'm not even convinced Arsenal fans truly understand how delusion they sound, I'm really not. Because a lot of the argument they make fall apart if you just push back even a little.

One of their rhetorics for having been dumped out by Paris FC is the turnaround after the World Cup. Most of Arsenal players had been at the World Cup, see, and they didn't have a lot of time to train as a team, and that's why Paris FC advanced and not them,

Okay, fair, and in theory I not only buy it but also support it. Arsenal did have a very short turnaround post World Cup, a lot of their players were gone, etc etc. Valid arguments I can 100 percent get behind.

But if that was really all it came down to then both Real Madrid and Levante would be sitting at home right now - but it's not, it's just Levante. So how does that work, exactly? Real Madrid had equally the amount of players but did fine in their preseason game - that they had to fly to Mexico for no less! - but Arsenal couldn't get it together against a team every WSL fan and their mother had to google the roster of?

Like, can we just be honest with each other for a sec? Arsenal treated the Paris FC game as a preseason game because that's exactly what they saw it as. They saw the French league as a walkover, because they had walked over a severely crippled Lyon, and if you don't want the D1 Arkema, then you probably don't even know Paris FC's original name. Anyway, Arsenal sauntered over with all the confidence in the world because they're Arsenal and everyone loves them.

Except.

Except Paris FC has been a very good team for the past two seasons, and if you actually watched a team, you'd know that. You'd know they'd had a real go at Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain and you'd know they were considered a threat by those teams. You'd know about their goalkeeper and you'd know about their increased confidence and maybe, just maybe, you'd know that their coach had been talking about the team's structure and ambitions.

There were warning signs, I'm just saying, all you had to do was read them.

But then Arsenal got their ass handed to them and we were promptly subjected to the claims of scheduling (Lyon only got a majority of their players back August 28 before playing the Coupe de France on September 10, so curious about the time warp on that one). There should be an expansion, people argued, which again I find perplexing because when Manchester City got knocked out two consecutive years by Real Madrid there was nay a peep then.

So explain that to me. City gets their ass handed to them, it's fine, qualifiers work the way they're supposed to. Arsenal get their ass handed to them and UEFA needs to bend over backwards to accommodate them? Am I understanding things correctly?

But anyway if Arsenal and their morally reprehensible fans had done even the littlest bit of research we wouldn't be sitting here right now having this discussion.

But as much as I'd like to rip on Arsenal, because lord knows that fanbase deserves it, I think we can all agree that Skinner's comments deserve the most attention in this case.

Beyond the sheer arrogance of it. it's also like - who exactly are you calling average, and why?

Now, to be fair, I'd put Mary Earps on roughly the same level as Real Madrid's Misa - make of that what you will - but we need to go more into depth about that comment.

Like, Manchester United's pedigree is ... what, exactly? Like come on now. What have they done? Sit me down, make me a Pumpkin Spice Latte, and tell me - yeah, actually, so I know PSG made it to the UWCL finals twice, made it repeatedly to the quarters and semis, but look, Man Utd just deserve it more. Hear me out, bro. Manchester United sells tickets.

I'm being mean - Skinner didn't bring that last talking point up - but still. He made it seem like Manchester United deserve to be there more than others, and I just don't understand the logic behind it.

Like, convince me that Manchester United deserves a spot more than AS Roma, more than Hacken, more than Real Madrid. They earned their spots by beating the teams in front of them. AS Roma earned it by actually winning their league. So explain to me why Manchester United actually deserves a spot more than them.

I really like - I mean, okay. Can you imagine if, after Lyon had one point after two UWCL games, Bompastor had sat down in a press conference and said, "you know what, Lyon won eight Champions League, we should have an automatic bye to the quarters."

Can you just imagine if Lyon had made that argument? They would have been posibistely crucified, and for really good cause. Your history, no matter how prestigious it is, doesn't mean anything until you rewrite the page. Lyon knows better than anyone you need to earn your pedigree.

And your pedigree, the one that matters - it's not the stadiums you sell out, it's not the Instagram followers, it's the number of trophies in the cabinet.

Lyon has never, not once, demanded that the UWCL be catered to their preferences. Because they know you win the trophies only and I mean only by beating the teams in front of you.

It's the Champions League for a reason. Want to avoid qualifiers and go right into the group stage? Try actually winning a game. And if that's too much. maybe at least have the decency to ask yourself why your ass is getting handed to you by a team who hates TikTok as much as I do.

#maybe the wsl isn't competitive #maybe you're all just equally shit #who makes man utd more unlikable: the nutcase fans or Mary Earps or Melvine Malard #a philosophical question for the ages #fuck mark skinner as well

I really enjoy Chip and Dale’s straight-man-and-goofball dynamic in the 2022 film.

Dale’s vibe is very much, “Rise and shine, sleepyhead! You’ll be late for the next rocket to the moon!” and Chip’s vibe is more like, “He’s never going to get up. He’s got no legs.”

Taylor Swift Meets Hockey RPF: Advent Calendar Day 17

The 9th ficciest Taylor Swift song of all time is…

youtube

Song: Untouchable Album: Fearless Year: 2008/2021 Lyrics: https://genius.com/Taylor-swift-untouchable-taylors-version-lyrics Ficciness Rank: #9

Ah, now we’re really in the pining. Is there anything pining-er than the title of this song? The person is right there, and you want them, but you CAN’T TOUCH THEM. Or maybe you can, but you don’t know that yet, and you can’t tell if they’re suffering too or if they’re just going along carelessly without any idea what’s happening, happy to have a good friend while you’re dying inside.

To prove the piningness of the song, I’m just going to paste an excerpt of the chorus:

“Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun And when you're close, I feel like coming undone In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream It's like a million little stars spelling out your name You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together Come on, come on, little taste of heaven”

(Honestly, this is most of the lyrics to the song. It’s pretty repetitive–but then, pining is too. No matter what you do and how you try to distract yourself, you keep running up against the same longing and the same impossibility.)

It will probably surprise no one to hear that we have a few more pining-themed songs coming up. This one ended up lower ranked than some of the others, in large part because it just doesn’t have as much content. It does, though, have one very fun extra element: “A million little stars spelling out your name” = soulmate ’verse??

Pairing I’d assign to this song: There’s a sense of distance and awe in this song that feels to me like an age difference. So I’m giving this one to Jeff Skinner and Eric Staal in Jeff’s first year on the Hurricanes. Let’s throw in the soulmate element, too. Jeff joins the team and is totally star-struck by Eric. A few weeks into the season, a soulmate mark shows up on his ribs: a constellation of stars. He’s so excited, thinking this has to mean that Eric is his soulmate. Who else has he met recently who’s affected his life this strongly? But Eric is getting out of a long-term relationship, and Jeff is such a baby, only eighteen years old. Eric would feel like such a creeper hitting on him. So even though he has a matching mark and has his guilty suspicions about who it’s for, he keeps it covered in the locker room and denies it when Jeff asks him. Jeff is devastated: he was so sure it was Eric, but he must have been wrong. He knows he has to move on. But no matter what he tries, he can’t get Eric out of his head. Eric even starts popping up in his dreams, shirtless with a constellation of stars on his ribs. Jeff knows it’s his crush giving him an overactive imagination–Eric wouldn’t have lied to him about his mark, right?–but he can’t stop wanting.

Lyrics to title this story: Caught Up In You

Match Review: Manchester City Women 3-1 Manchester United Women

City's title charge continues, whilst United scramble to finish in the top 4.

I couldn't bring myself to write about this game for a week because it was just so inevitable that City would win, and it's hard to say City didn't deserve it. They're probably worthy WSL champions in all honesty. They play confident football, they're good in possession, they're aggressive and front-footed and like to attack. It's good to watch and nice to see Chelsea under pressure too.

In fairness to United, we did have chances early on. Geyse in particular came close to giving United an early lead. Shots and shots on target, and possession even, were roughly the same between the two Manchester sides, but the eye test told a different story and City were comfortable. It never looked like United were really dangerous, merely an inconvenience.

In contrast, Jess Park bagging her first and second goals for City... yeah. United had 6 on 5 then 8 on 6 for the first goal. Poor positioning, poor tracking back, and ball watching from the women. Sloppy stuff and Mark Skinner needs to be using this game as a showcase of the little errors that need removing. For the second goal, Hannah Blundell switches off at LB and lets Park drift in behind the oblivious Maya Le Tissier to get in for a tap-in. Too, too easy.

Jamaica's Bunny Shaw put City 3-0 up just 30 seconds into the second half, and from there it all slowed down. The game was done, City were comfortable, and United were fortunate to get a consolation goal - an own goal - in the 73rd minute courtesy of Casparij. Toone's link up with the overlapping Blundell, cross in... and a wicked deflection into the back of the net, when if the ball had gone past it really wasn't finding anyone in the middle of the box.

Next up is Everton. Today, actually. Noon kickoff. Lets bounce back with a good win eh?
