    For #MUWomen fans (or anyone else), this is the interview feature I did earlier this year with Celin Bizet 🇳🇴 Sharing in depth where she’s come from, her Norwegian-Cuban background, and a lot about how she thinks (football and otherwise). #BarclaysWSL

    I think quite a few people know this about Britt Eckerstrom now, but maybe some don’t. This was her unwittingly giving Raquel Rodríguez her now-famous nickname (from our 2017 interview). #BAONPDX #NWSL

    Daniëlle van de Donk on whether she feels #NED are playing better than in the World Cup (when Dutch players admitted they got results without playing well): “No…does it look like it?” 😬 #WEURO2022

    “I knew Real Madrid was a massive club but actually being here…fans outside the training ground…being recognised on the Metro, that’s happened quite a lot; a lot more than the UK.” My interview with Scotland star Caroline Weir in our new @shekicksmag 🔑bit.ly/buySheKicks77

    Carla Ward on the overall impact of Jordan Nobbs so far at Aston Villa: “Jordan’s been sensational, as have all of them. We often talk about these big names but there’s players we’ve brought in that don’t get talked about that’ve equally been exceptional, on and off the pitch.”

    Carla Ward confirms to me that Aston Villa are looking to sign a goalkeeper on an emergency loan today. Daphne van Domselaar will miss the game with Brighton due to concussion, meaning Anna Leat is currently their only option, with youngster Sophia Poor unavailable. #avwfc
