Away we go.
-
I'll go for October for the first managerial sacking.
-
Doesn't the season start in August?
-
4th September, apparently. We have derbies with Small Heath to "look forward to", again.
-
We lost in the semis of "World Sevens Football". Despite the name it is only English teams. Beat Tottenham 6-3 and West Ham 3-2 either side of losing 4-0 to Man U in the groups. Lost 8-2 to Chelsea in the semis.
-
Kirsty Hanson going to Spurs, apparently;

No news of her brothers' new album.
-
Well that's shit.
-
Yup.
-
Best player this year by all accounts. It feels like the women’s team is becoming a bit of an afterthought? Or is that harsh?
-
We don't know if there is some personal reason why she wants to be in London. If it is just a case of seeing them as more ambitious, though, it is a bit of a worrying sign. If we don't invest this summer a relegation battle looks likely.
-
Where's it all gone wrong?
They seemed to be buzzing last pre-season.
Is Arroyo's medicine taking time to have its effect? Or is she just out of her depth?
-
She's been my favourite player over the last few years so that's pretty gutting.

Pfft salt in the wounds;

-
It's an abominable decision.
-
At the end of the day, you are always going to pay for a lack of progress. It's a shame as we don't seem to be able to get anywhere.
-
And on the incoming side;

19 year old international sounds promising.

The wee lass in action;

Brilliant signing. We needed more pace on the wing. Up the Villa!

She does look speedey!

She's scored 14 goals for Denmark and has won trophies in Denmark, France, and Italy.
-
Feel a bit more optimistic after the last couple of days than I did after Hansen left.
More please, Doggy!

It's all go on the Women's front - another new player through the door! Amalie Vangsgaard arrives from Juventus;
I thought she'd have been the first signing of the summer.
-
