The Blues Fans Podcast and Live Show
Hi Bluenoses. On a scale of 1 to 10 how good are you feeling? Personally, I am a begrudging 2. I am sure my regular readers know that I have been watching Blues close to 64 years and now make a 400 mile round trip to every home game. I can hear your yawns going already. However in those 8 decades we have actually had relatively few owners.
Blues first defeat at St Andrews in the league this season came this after against a really good Sunderland and the gaffer Mel Reay her and her team deserve all the credit today Blues on the another hand won’t at the races today . The only positive’s about today’s game is Harriett Scott getting her 100th appearance for the Blues and the return of Martha Harris coming back from her injury.
A tricky Cup tie was successfully negotiated at Forest Green in the most inhospitable circumstances. The Vegan world that is the New Lawn in Nailsworth where the visiting fan can find no Bovril or milk produced from a cow is no place for a real football fan.
Blues climb to 4th in the championship after a gritty 1-0 win against a really impressive Sheffield United who deserve more from the game. Claudia Walker played her first game back for blues after signing from West Ham and has already got her name on the scoresheet, which have delighted the blues fans their this afternoon.
I hope you all had a happy Christmas. I certainly did, Crisscrossing London on several occasions seeing the V&A Museum, The Carol service at the Royal Albert Hall, a local ‘Battle*’ in Isleworth where we had Christmas Dinner, and a visit to Plough Lane where the current Wimbledon FC ply their trade. A time with my son and time with the daughter and her two lovely daughters. Very nice indeed.
At last, there’s some meaningful Blues stuff to consider as the World Cup slowly fades from view. I actually have not seen a Final since 1970. The reason being that the final has been played on a Sunday since 1966 and I have been involved with cricket ever since. A winter World Cup should then be just the job. Sadly, it isn’t.
The Women in Royal Blue booked themselves in the 4th round of the F.A Cup Sunday afternoon after a comfortable win against Huddersfield Town and didn’t really look in trouble at any point. Blues secured a 4th Round game with Everton away from home on the January 29th.
Blues suffer back to back defeats in the Conti Cup and are out finishing bottom of the group this afternoon and a sour taste for the end of 2022 former bluenose Sarah Ewen’s double gave the victory for the team down south and to be fair their fully deserved it .
For the record its 17,45 and the England side has been announced with no changes. That means that Jude Bellingham the 19-year-old former academy player of Birmingham City will play. You are probably thinking that Watto has flipped his lid. You know all that don’t you? Apparently, there are people in the football world who don’t know this. I have upset a member of the Sky reporters’ team who showed his lack of knowledge regarding the Stourbridge super star. I suggested that this Spurs Supporter was a ‘know nothing Cockney’. This offended him as he said he was from Northern Ireland! Two out of three isn’t bad.
Back to back clean sheets and more importantly back to back wins from the last two away games is a huge boost for the girls in royal blue and keeps us on track and 5 points behind the league leaders London City Lionesses .
