Aston Villa Women 2026-27

[Legion]

Away we go.

[cdbearsfan]

I'll go for October for the first managerial sacking.

[eamonn]

Doesn't the season start in August?

[cdbearsfan]

4th September, apparently. We have derbies with Small Heath to "look forward to", again.

[cdbearsfan]

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.

[cdbearsfan]

Well that's shit.

[Dogtanian]

Yup.

[AV82EC]

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?

[cdbearsfan]

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.

[eye digress]

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?

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

She's been my favourite player over the last few years so that's pretty gutting.

[Dogtanian]

Pfft salt in the wounds;
