The Blues Fans Podcast and Live Show
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 .
Before we go into the big news of the day i.e., the takeover collapse I want to offer an apology. Gareth Southgate is a long- standing dislike of mine and one of my least likely choices to manage a whelk stall. It is therefore with great humility that I should apologize and congratulate him on ignoring the London media trying to influence his team selection.
Blues first defeat in the Conti Cup against West Ham was disappointing but if you look at the stats blues had more shots on target more shots than the WSL side, so it is not so disappointing then it seems.
World Cup first week was interesting, but my match of the week was FC Edinburgh v Alloa Athletic at the Meadowbank Stadium. Built originally for the Commonwealth Games it has been completely rebuilt and seats a massive 500 (five hundred). Having booked early we found our seats and immediately moved to somewhere better. The food was ghastly, but the games exceeded all expectations. FC Edinburgh (formally Edinburgh City.
After the disappointment of the result against London City some blues fans could have been worrying against an undefeated Bristol City side who have been in my view the team to beat for the title and who have outstanding since the beginning of the season, but this blues side have got fight and believe in the squad finally also great to see Layla Banaras who made it into the matchday squad a proud moment for her and her family.
