One Half A Maverick
Leicester City 1-3 Chelsea (Women's Super League) Like my hair the games are thinning out, May is the last month of the English football season and most league competitions have already finished, but for the odd playoff to decide upcoming promotions. The WSL is in its penultimate week, Manchester City have just ended six years of Chelsea dominance to take the title, but the Blues are second and still aim to end the season strong. They face Leicester ahead of an FA Cup sem

Technical Timeout
Leicester City 0-1 Brighton & Hove Albion (Women’s Super League) I got back at 11:45pm which I didn’t think was too bad after leaving Hampden Park shortly after 7. The boxing on the radio ensured my drive south would go quickly, well done to Moses Itauma, is he really the real deal? The clocks have gone back, so I’ve lost an hour as I take the dog for a walk on Sunday morning, the wife has gone to stock up at her monthly Boots shop, I do get chance to at least have a cuppa wi

NCP
Leicester City 1-2 Aston Villa (Women’s Super League) I raced back from Braintree last night to pick up a takeaway from Cuzina which is a nice Greek Restaurant close to the City Ground and Trent Bridge, home for 7:30pm the wife put the new Peaky Blinders film on Netflix and we both fell asleep to wake up and find Tommy Shelby was dead. Spoiler alert! Today is another game of football and one at least a little closer to my south Nottingham home, half hour away in Leicester

Citizens Can - Can't They?
Leicester City 0-3 Manchester City (Women's Super League) I've not watched a women's game for a while. The wife has banned me from covering Sunday matches when I'm working Saturdays but she's had two Xmas do's this weekend so something had to give. Stuck dog sitting both Friday night and Saturday afternoon, I'm finally let out on the leash this Sunday morning, to do my first WSL game since May. It'll be my first viewing ever of Manchester City women. A chance to see Khadija

Drummer Boy
Leicester City 4-2 West Ham United (Women’s Super League) I’m scratching around for matches and this could be the last (paid) of the season for me, I’m falling short of a hundred games since last summer (just the 93 watched in venue) but I’m ready for my break, a week in Dubai awaits as the English game draws near to a close. It’s the last weekend of the WSL season, and ironically the first Women’s Super League match I’ve been to in a year. Leicester City are second bottom b

Toone Army
Leicester City 0-1 Manchester United (Women’s Super League) I’ve not done as many women’s games in recent months but I never mind too much, in frequenting Leicester, not a million miles away from home, down the A46 and on a Sunday, it can be a pain free and quick journey which allows me to park outside, although rumour is they’ll be slightly more in attendance today? The big guns are in town, whether it’s Manchester United men, women, kids, they’ll always bring a backing, and

Binoculars
Leicester City 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur (Women’s Super League) We’ve been on a 7km dog walk around Cotgrave Country Park this morning and my ankle is in bits. I’m hobbling down the stairs and trying to put my right trainer on, squealing like a six-year-old who doesn’t want to go to school as I squeeze an adidas classic over my swollen foot. It’s back to WSL action this afternoon as Leicester City host Tottenham Hotspur. Both have had reasonable starts to their campaigns although

Carrie’s Redemption
Leicester City 2-1 Reading (Women’s Super League) A touch of déjà vu? It went to the wire in late January as I watched Reading beat Leicester City on penalties in the FA Cup at the Pirelli Stadium… It goes to the wire in early April too… As the Foxes ease their relegation worries with a massive victory that keeps the battle at the foot of the WSL table well and truly alive. I’m back having watched these two go at it in what was a thrilling game over 120 minutes and more, deci

Royal Delight
Leicester City 2-2 Reading (Women’s FA Cup Round Four) *2-3 pens aet I stopped off at George’s on my way back from Boston to treat the wife to fish and chips last night, that earned brownie points but today she’s not happy as I’m out again, but not until I’ve done the weekly dog meet and updated my blog of course, 2pm I leave for Burton, the venue for Sundays game between Leicester City and Reading Women in the fourth round of the FA Cup. I originally okayed the trip on the b

First 3pts For Foxes
Leicester City 3-0 Brighton & Hove Albion (Women's Super League) I was supposed to be at Matlock v Marine on Tuesday night, but the weather had me beaten. It’s the second time a game which I was scheduled to go to this season at Causeway Lane had been postponed, I’m sure I’ll get my fish & chips stop off at Matlock Bath in due course. No matches booked in for Saturday as the wife’s got me running around after her, so Sunday it is and another ‘football de feminine’ for my feas

Hatchbacks & Second Hand Cars
Leicester City 0-8 Chelsea (Women’s Super League) I’m at Derby Costco near Pride Park Stadium doing some bulk buy Christmas shopping on my mother-in-law’s membership card. It’s packed, the queue for the petrol alone is ridiculous, six-foot Christmas trees selling for £30. I want one but thought we could pay on the way out, only to be told I have to go back in store and queue up to make purchase. I can’t go through that again, its hell, and I’ve got to be in Leicester for 2pm.
