That's got to be some kind of international record 

Slovakia conceded 6 seconds into their game earlier on this evening, records being made for sure I reckon.

France losing to Germany at home in the first minute

Was literally 9 seconds into the game

EDIT: 7 seconds in rather!

I forgot Pearson covered the women as well - has he been as active with the women this season? I usually stick to NFTV vlogs which usually air around 11pm on Sunday. I'll give APs a watch now.

He's not been particularly active in covering the women this season, you're better off following NFTV as he's there every single game.

She definitely got a bit of her hand on the ball, I was about to celebrate the save but the pace of the shot was a bit too much unfortunately.

Looked like an epic diving stop from the much criticised Grace Donnelly today btw, not sure if anyone spotted it or can confirm. I was behind the other goal but it appeared quite the save.

 

 

 

She made two great saves at both 2-0 and 2-1 and got close to saving the penalty. Would say she did her job well today.

If we win the league do we automatically go up or is there a stupid play off game involved? 

Automatically go up.

Sorted to go and watch the Burnley game now. Anybody got any experience of going away with the women? Can't imagine anywhere sells out and it's just a question of turning up and paying on the day?

 

 

 

Most away days are pay on the day and you can basically sit/stand wherever you want (would of course recommend being by our fans) but would just double check on the Burnley site if you can buy tickets on the day (when I went to the Mancunian Unity game, it was more or less recommended to buy in advance but Salford City a couple of years ago was buy on the day).

Why the blue tick then?

Anyone can pay for the "privilege" to be a blue tick.

Aye, went down tonight, enjoyable evening.

Fair enough, I knew Wigan usually have away fans behind the goal.

Yeah, I've done Wigan twice and was always behind the goal - think it's traditionally that area but for tonight, Man Utd were given a 7k allocation so a whole stand.

Is that a Man Utd flag in the home end?

Fucking hell man, why are clubs allowing fans ti get away with shit like that?

If it's the flag I'm seeing then it's because Man Utd were given that whole stand.

Anthony Taylor again with an utter joke of a penalty award.

Buy a home ticket and when you get there ask them to put you in the away end. Probably can just walk in (?) Can’t see there being a problem asking or taking it upon yourself as doubt there’s security and segregation (?)

 

Or is the whole game sold out?

Yeah, having looked into it, will go this route. Plenty of tickets on sale still from Man Utd's site.

And subsequently people have just bought tickets for the point….

 

Appreciate the idea is to encourage people to go and support the lasses, but it seems it’s actually stopped people who would have went, from getting a ticket.

Like myself, I wanted to go but just seen that it's sold out, annoying.

This game will probably have the same feel as the Brentford one in September - run of 3 defeats going into the game with confidence not particularly high.

It won't be a pretty game at all tomorrow.

Presumably it's one of the U21s/U23s keepers as the substitute keeper if Dubravka is indeed out and Karius starts?

Another thing to consider with today is with bowl type/shaped stadiums (such as new WHL, the Etihad etc), the atmosphere will always feel off to some due to how spaced out the away fans are from each other.

Would love to know what their fans think of it all.

 

 

One of my mates is a Sheffield United fan, general consensus is the Heckingbottom sacking was the right decision but bringing back Wilder is entirely the wrong one.

What I've liked this season (thus far) is Becky Langley's ruthlessness, she's not afraid to drop the heroes of last season for the greater good of this season. She's definitely adapted well to the professionalism we have to adopt for this season. 

When we were 5-2 up at half time, she had a very displeased look when going back to the changing rooms. She's a proper perfectionist.

I went today as I live in Manchester, very professional performance in the end.

The two goals we conceded were due to a lack of concentration (the first) and the ball looping over Donnelly from a long range effort (the second). Other than those two instances, we controlled the game well.

London to watch this, any advice re bars? 

The Dolphin near to Kings Cross.

True enough. But apparently it was a lot worse today.

Not a good look at all if so.
