Aston Villa Women 2023/24

[BC54 VFC]

The ignominy of their fans singing 'are you Sheffield in disguise?'.

The ignominy of an Arsenal fan actually singing is worse

Well, yes!

[Footy-Vill]

I forecast us to go out in the Semi and not go any further now as it's the best teams left and London lioness who won't go through and us. Unfortunately can't see anything but a defeat.  Even if I forecast incorrect and get to the final how are we to break the dominance?
The quality is different level.

And for context.
Arsenal Man City and Chelsea are the only clubs to have won the   
FA Women's Continental Tyres League Cup.
No other team has won this competition since it started in 2011.
Basically it's dominated by the big girls.

2011 Arsenal
2012 Arsenal
2013 Arsenal
2014 Man City
2015 Arsenal
2016 Man City
2017 -18 Arsenal
2018 -19 Man City
2019 -20 Chelsea
2020-21 Chelsea
2021-22 Man City
2022-23 Arsenal

Insight and forecast correct.

[Somniloquism]

So it is insight to work out that we might lose to one of the most successful teams in Women's football. Wow.

[BC54 VFC]

Not that difficult to work out, Footy

Daphne van Domselaar: Arsenal interested in signing Aston Villa goalkeeper in summer

By Emma Sanders
BBC Sport

Arsenal are interested in signing Aston Villa goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar in the summer transfer window.

The Netherlands international, 24, joined Villa in June on a three-year deal in a free transfer from FC Twente.

Villa fought off interest from several Women's Super League (WSL) clubs, including Arsenal, who it is understood also wanted to sign her in January.

Van Domselaar, who has started 14 of Villa's 15 WSL games this season, has a release clause of about £200,000.

She impressed at Euro 2022 and was part of the Netherlands squad for last summer's Women's World Cup.

Villa bought her as a replacement for former number one Hannah Hampton following her free transfer to Chelsea in July.

They lost midfielder Laura Blindkilde Brown, 20, to Manchester City on deadline day in January after they paid the £200,000 release clause in her contract.

Not a shock, she isn’t going to want to play behind that defence for another season…she’s been pretty good but I’d imagine she is a high earner to be shipping 3 or 4 goals every week

[Somniloquism]

In the women's game, it is strange how fast they change clubs (especially at the lower ends of the table).

[Lastfootstamper]

DVD out injured today, as is Hanson. On the plus side, Leon is back. Expect to see her wedged in on the left flank, then.

[BC54 VFC]

This is more like it.

[Lastfootstamper]

Two up at Everton (who've already beaten us twice this season, league & Cup). Dali with a bobbler from the edge of the box in to the bottom corner for our first, Salmon with a mini-Watkins guided header in to the back post from Nobbs' whipped-in near-post cross. A quarter of the game to go.

[Brazilian Villain]

Held on despite Everton pulling one back. Important win as they try and finish in the top half.

Just back from watching paint dry.  To be honest it was awful.  Take Leet, Daly, and nobbs out of it the rest would be beaten by an under 10 boys team. 

Then you had the drums cringe !

Even more cringe Everton selling a paperback (yes selling) of Everton women teams songs

Villa fans sorry again plenty of woolfie wannabes

The only positive for me was I was on freeby

Aston Villa goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar has been ruled out for the remainder of the Women's Super League season after having hip surgery.

Van Domselaar, 24, suffered the injury prior to Villa's League Cup exit against Arsenal two weeks ago.

The Netherlands keeper will begin rehabilitation immediately and is expected to be fit for next season.

She joined Villa from Twente on a free transfer this season and has made 15 league appearances.

Arsenal are interested in signing Van Domselaar, who a release clause of about £200,000, for next season, having been beaten to her signature by Villa.

[Gareth]

Well Leat will get the rest of the season to make her case for being number 1 next season….entire back line needs a reboot for next season if the club are interested in pushing the women’s team on….

[Villa Lew]

1-0 nil Villa
