Arsenal (especially WFC), baseball (especially Blue Jays), Gotham FC, Music (especially, but not always twangy, mostly guitar driven), Star Trek, board games, stationary (especially fountain pens), left political economy. He/Him.
Lost seasons happen, and part of me wants to go "fine, whatever, watch it out with no expectations." But my real concern is that the club needs a rebuild, and can we do things like retain Fox and attract similar world class talent?

I'm like 70% sure the answer is yes.

Oh great sure Smith red this is great.

Does this carry over to the league because it's the league cup? Are we missing her away at Chelsea?

Is it time to fling myself off a tall building?

What is shocking to me is that Foord was electrifying last year. Low blocks? No prob, she'll dribble through. This is, at least, the constructed memory. This year she looks absolutely lost.

I wish this team could score goals with the regularity they once did. Remember four goals per game at home?

Don't worry there will be a double substitution at exactly 70 minutes regardless of the situation before or at 70 minutes.

This is highly annoying.

Given how many times McCabe gets the reputation yellow, I'll take the freebee here. That said....

Oh cool! I (once again) let my Athletic sub lapse.

I have always really liked her, but she's been quite good this year. I wonder if, considering Ageymang's ACL, they'll extend her in the summer. I, for one, would not complain.

With the context of this game, I broadly don't think these subs are bad. But the thing is, they would have been these exact same subs at this exact minute, regardless of the context. The pre-programmed subs *have* to make us easy to strategize against.

STINA STINA STINA STINA BLACKSTENIUS!

SHE SCORES THE GOALS!

Meado's "Fuck me" after hitting the woodwork is channeling all Arsenal fans.

Plus one to Nord. It's great. I've watched a lot of Lionesses and other women's cup games without any problem.

I've always found it peculiar that there has never been a Big Box for Small World. It seems like it should lend itself to one.

Right into Landmarks. My pal who taught the game thought it was fine starting there. I didn't pay *too* much attention to landmarks on the first play. It was a lot of "focus on fox points and figure out the rest as needed."

I do really like the game!
