Can’t believe we’ve lost Kai and Thomas Frank on the same day 😔

Any time I see “KELLY / SMITH” on lineup graphic I’m like SHE’S BACK

It would be insufferable and no one would hate it more than Kim

I could probably take a quiz on this very short video with how many times I played it lol 🥲

Emma would never be stupid enough to ask me this

Winning an Olympic medal and then announcing to the world that you cheated on your girlfriend is actually the least media trained anyone has ever been

It also feels self-destructive bc Wrighty’s done nothing wrong and is beloved, so if you force a beef then that’s not gonna go down well with like… everyone else in the industry who vibe with him. Also the receipts of his allyship are lengthy

🫠 tbh I think the crux of it is an unwillingness to put the same level of work in as others (and you can sense the toxicity). My girl Ellen is putting in a shift every weekend and can strike up a vibey partnership on any panel!! She had a rapport w Jonas ffs! That’s the level that’s the vibes

Genuinely she so rarely does the coverage? And when she does it’s only lionesses friendlies basically. Literally cannot recall her showing up as a pundit for a wsl game

Say Roxanne three times to centre yourself whenever you need to

Indeed

Saying “eni is one of the main characters” is just a crazy thing to say about yourself
February 9, 2026 at 8:10 PM
I don’t believe for a moment she’d be shitting on Nedum and Wrighty if she was the one on the panel with them — but it’s not her, and that’s more what it’s about imo
February 9, 2026 at 8:10 PM
Oh definitely — and I think there’s an element of blaming her waning punditry career on external things rather than looking inward at what she can do to be better as more recent retirees (White, Asante, Beattie among the best for my money) have quickly settled into it and become more favoured
February 9, 2026 at 8:09 PM
It’s crazy to me that she thinks he’s not well within his rights not to accept her apology — and her behaviour since surely justifies him not accepting it!! Like an insane opp to choose

She went off about the Ian Wright thing on a podcast, then when that didn’t go well for her, followed up with Instagram posts further attacking him. Also suggested he and Nedum Onuoha should never have got the Euro final job over her and they’re bad allies for taking work in the women’s game.

It also feels like she started by pretending it was on behalf of Fara Williams or the broader concept of female players generally, but she’s since given up the guise that it’s about anything other than her own work opportunities specifically and her own interests.

Aluko is causing so much damage to the female pundits who do work in the men’s game, feeding the very worst people. It’s so frustrating to watch. How is the maths not mathing?

I stand with Renee Slegers x

The sight of that ponytail is enough to send a shiver down my spine and yet there she is, making some of the worst calls you’ve ever seen in your life week in, week out

The City fans accusing Abi Byrne of being Arsenal’s 12th man have never walked a mile in my shoes, have never witnessed a referee score an assist against them, have never had to endure what I have endured so many times
