    This whole skill challenge thing is so unapologetically American hahaha I wonder how the all-stars match will go…

    last season I remember watching the game with American commentary and it sounded like a WWE match

      I quite enjoy the skills challenge, it’s a bit of fun. If you think about it, it’s a PR event to grow the sport.

      Speaking of commentary, Fruit TV managed to somehow snag 2 out of the 3 most annoying sportscaster in America in Twellman and Kaylyn Kyle…they’re just missing Lalas. One thing good about Fruit TV is they do have the option to sync the local radio as audio, it’s a great option whenever I need to watch a game on there because their TV crew is quite ass.

    Went to get a Caitlin Foord Matildas shirt today. Saw the new Arsenal away shirt IRL. Def one for the younger folk and less for the old geezers (like me). Player issue version looks better than fan version.

      If we win something major I can see this shirt becoming one for the ages, a cult classic even. Im sure the bruised banana had people scratching their heads when it was first released and look at how it is perceived now!

        Like winning the league at Old Trafford on 12 May 2024. Mark it in your calendar!

            They will be wearing the home kit rather than the dayglo one…

              yeah but if we win at the Etihad in it in a season we win the league, both kits will be legendary lol

              or just win it in general; i’m mostly just wanting a title win at the Ashburton

        I say that because of the general demographic I thought the promo video was pitched at. Apart from Martin Kemp, of course.
