Delighted to finish the season having commentated on four Sunderland Women games for BBC Radio Newcastle, covering our games against Southampton, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Charlton.
Excited to see what next season brings! Both for the team and myself personally 🎙️
Also huge respect to Chloe Kelly for not really celebrating and going straight over to console Nnadozie, as well as telling the cameras to get lost zooming in on the Nigerians faces

Some get upset when I post this once a year, as apparently letting people know that there is still football going on outside your ‘top leagues’ is a crime and being ‘forced’
But for those who are interested, here’s a list of summer football leagues which are available to watch
With most of the European football leagues finishing
It’s a good time to remind you that there is still plenty of football from other leagues and countries to watch ✌🏼😊
Words cannot describe how happy, shocked, thrilled and excited I am! I’ve been asked by BBC Radio Newcastle to travel down to London to be a co-commentator on Sunderland AFC Women’s Conti Cup quarterfinal game against Chelsea
Such an incredible opportunity and privilege! 🙌🏼🤩
Was just having a big clear out/sort out of my room and came across a notepad which I used during the Euros to take notes on each game
Really wish I had completed it, but I remember I wasn’t doing so well mentally at the time.
New to Asian Football and want to know how to watch live and for free?
Then here you go! Apologies if I’ve missed any off.
I have more interest in East and South East Asian football and these are the ones I am able to watch in the UK 😄
Lol at the messages I received yesterday saying I only pretend to be interested in football to attract men
Ok. I just happen to have 347 football books, 306 football shirts, volunteer at a non-league club, write for three football content websites, completed 8 scouting courses..
Just want to give a big F you to all of those people who have felt the need to message some of us girl kitsters about wearing football shirts recently.
Eat shit. We do what we want ☺️

This might just be my favourite shirt delivery of the year! Cerro Porteño 2023 away shirt! 🙌🏼🇵🇾
Huge thank you to
@CerroUk
for helping me get this. I’m in love! 😍
Just received a message from one of my old English teachers saying how proud she is of me for what I’m doing in football and has asked that I be a guest speaker on international women’s day to chat to the students at my old school
Think I’m about to cry
Really really happy, elated and excited to announce that I will be on co-commentary with
@ColinWhiteBBC
this Saturday for Sunderland Women’s opening home game against Birmingham at the Stadium of Light!
Over the moon to be given this opportunity!

So today has been another big delivery of football shirts, but one more that was unexpected.
I was in tears when I read this but thank you so much
@KCsKitroom
for the surprise Jamaica shirt in my delivery today. It’s so so appreciated and I’m so grateful for your generosity 🙌🏼
New delivery from
@classicshirts
!
The new Malaga away shirt! Absolutely stunning, just look at that floral pattern. Hummel never fail to produce good kits 😍
Are
@KeralaBlasters
paving the way for football clubs to make very small, but potentially rewarding steps?
All of Kerala Blasters kits this season, come with biodegradable tags which have seeds inside for fans to plant, alongside their dreams.

Nigeria were the better team and deserved to win. But such is football and unfortunately they lost composure during the shootout. Still one heck of tournament by them, especially that win over Australia!
Asian leagues starting this month!

Took the plunge. I watch enough MLS games on dodgy streams, to know I’ll get my moneys worth out of the MLS Season Pass.
Goodbye single milfs in my area who want to meet me ads. It was nice knowing you 👋🏼
With the backlash I have received in the last 24 hours, I’d like to point out that politics, conflict and football go hand in hand a lot of the time. It does not always mean picking sides, it does not always mean favouring the oppressors. I read books to learn more, good or bad
Breaking News :
The club are pleased to announce and welcome Charlotte Patters and will head our Media and Press Team . Gary said "Charlotte will be a great asset for the club and has some great plans as we start our new journey and I look forward to working with her"
Excited to say that I’ve been asked to be on co-commentary for BBC Newcastle once more, to cover the Sunderland Women v Leicester City Conti Cup game this Thursday night
Beyond grateful to have this opportunity again! 🙌🏼
Can J.League clubs please stop ruining their crests 😭
I hate all of them, although Vortis is maybe a slight improvement. But the old ones are better for the others
I absolutely love listening to football podcasts. I do these every now and then, but with more time passing, even more football podcasts from different leagues and countries start up. So here’s a thread of all the football podcasts I listen to and recommend 👇🏼
Women’s Euros piqued your interest?
Well here are all of the clubs participating in the Women’s Super League (Tier 1), Women’s Championship (Tier 2) and Women’s North and South National League (Tier 3)
Sad news to that Ulaanbaatar City has ceased operations and looks set to fold. Given the clubs strong standing and money, it’s certainly a surprise
The team has noted betting, fraud and a lack of support by Mongolian Football Federation officials as the reasons for the decision
This is exactly the same elitist and narrow minded mentality which makes me become more disillusioned with premier league football and the like
I’d bet that people commenting similar haven’t even watched a single one of these leagues
I’m glad they’re not like the big 5! 🤷🏼♀️
I’ve been toying with the idea for a while, but because of my anxiety, I’ve been putting it off. But I think I’m going to start a podcast.
Will likely be interviews with various Asian footballers from different backgrounds, leagues etc.
Just have to get over my nerves 😅
I’m so tired of seeing the same comments over and over again about the quality of womens football and that it doesn’t deserve increased finances.
How is womens football meant to get better if infrastructures, development, investments and growth is non existent? 🙄
It was the A-League season launch yesterday, which not only signals the league starting soon, but also new football kits 👀
Let’s take a closer look at each 👇🏼
The other day I was watching the Fenerbahçe game and my dad asked me why. I told him that I was watching Kim Min-Jae for the website
This morning, this 16/17 Fenerbahçe shirt arrived from
@classicshirts
and my dad said “so you have something to wear when you watch him play” 🥺
Thoughts
1) Don’t be a racist
2) I’m still heartbroken
3)) Italy were the deserved winners
4) Southgate got his tactics wrong
5) We have so much young talent
6) The minority of England ‘fans’ are vile thugs
7) Don’t boo the knee
8) Don’t boo other anthems
9) Don’t be a racist
Thank you to everyone who commented! I’m really excited to travel to Poland for the first time and stay in Krakow! With MKS Cracovia playing in red and white stripes like Sunderland, it was a no brainer on which team I’ll go watch whilst I’m there 🙌🏼
And look at that stadium!
If you don’t like the fact that I tweet about Asian Football, despite it clearly stating in my bio that I do exactly that....then please unfollow me.
Being ridiculed because I’m a girl interested in sports and because I cover football in different leagues is just 🥱🥱
Why is it so difficult for the
@Lionesses
to tweet out updates/info on the youth teams?
The England WU19 played at 1:30pm today and there is still no word on the result. Thankfully
@footballiceland
tweeted England won 2-0
Coverage shouldn't just be about the senior team
Why is February a good month?

40 days into 2024 and I’ve been so lucky to be asked to do three match commentaries on Sunderland Women. Two at Eppleton against Southampton in the FA Cup and Aston Villa in the Conti Cup. Followed by a trip to Kingsmeadow to cover the quarterfinal against Chelsea.
So this afternoon someone messaged me on Twitter (who I don’t know) and stated that I only like/post about football to get attention from men and asked me to tell him facts about football. If you’re someone who is like this and you follow me, then do me a favour and get bent.
Today I had to say goodbye to my best friend. 15 years ago you entered my life and despite making my heart feel so whole in that time, it feels so empty today
Thank you, Louie 💔
2023 Book Challenge Complete! 📚
52 books read in 52 weeks. Majority football books, but the occasional biography, crime/horror, historical fantasy and religious reads too.
Two consecutive years now I’ve read 52 books in 52 weeks, so think it’s time to push for a new challenge
Dimitrios Diamantakos scored his first goal for Kerala Blasters today in their 3-0 win over Northeast United, with fellow Greek forward Apostolos Giannou, coming on for him in the 65th minute

Oh my goodness! She is here and she is perfect! Special Edition Japan shirt! 😍
Thank you so much for sorting this out
