I'm about to piss off people in women's football.
I think we SHOULD use the term "women's football" rather than just "football".
Sure the game on the pitch is the same regardless of who's playing it. The game is always football. But the culture is not the same. And I don't want it to be the same.

I'm really enjoying learning more about Natalia Arroyo and the way she's rebuilding Aston Villa.
After two bangers against West Ham last week, Natalia Arroyo, Aston Villa Women's boss, is understandably "more than happy to score amazing goals, but also we need to keep improving to create more."
"This quality in the last third, we are close but we are not as clinical as we need to be."

"I'll take a team over individuals any day".
Marc Skinner saying the words that I've said myself to my team. It's not every coach's philosophy but I think it captures the spirit of football.
It isn't necessarily all about having the best individual players, it's about building a team.

Aston Villa Women were brave against Chelsea last week & had a positive performance. Natalia Arroyo says they will continue being brave this week:
"We are a brave team. I am a brave person. I think it's the best way of approaching the games."
She also talked about what being brave means.
