Oh I don’t know, I just presumed she was. I guess so 🙄 As opposed to Kelly Cates supporting Liverpool and being the daughter of a Liverpool legend 🤣

Sorry @xceleryx 😳🤣

As a woman, just a few thoughts.... I think Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan are excellent at what they do (although I can't warm to the latter and the way she 'talks' with her hands all the time drives me loopy), but let's not pretend that having famous footballing fathers didn't give them a huge advantage. There would be plenty of others fully capable of learning their job but they never get given the chance. As @Bob Singleton has said, there's a difference between presenting a show and expressing opinions as a pundit and you don't have to have played the game to do the former which is a skill in itself (which Alex Scott definitely doesn't have btw). If she's played or managed the game at the top level I don't see why a woman can't be employed as a pundit to talk about the men's game; the trouble starts when the balance goes askew and women are being employed for different reasons. Even I find that annoying. I used to love Soccer Saturday with Jeff Stelling and his all male panel. I liked the banter and chemistry between them all as former pros but those days are long gone. I think the best pundits are very often foreign. They speak excellent English and are very articulate in expressing their views (Cesc for example). Having said all that, I tend to record MOTD and then just watch the matches I'm interested in and cut out all the chatter. There's far too much talking anyway (the BBC's Athletics coverage has been ruined by turning it into the Gabby Logan Show with a bit of sport thrown in when they remember). Anyway, Kelly Cates obviously supports Liverpool so that made her an obvious candidate!! I think Mark Chapman supports Man U and Gabby Logan Newcastle United. What a shame Gigi Salmon has moved into tennis, she would have been great!!

Relieved obviously but it's still only a draw in a match we should have won well. We can't keep doing this 😞

Don’t push it

And I tear my hair out dealing with your emoji count 😉

I don't think Madueke should be playing but sincerely hope he proves me wrong.

I didn’t like to pursue that!!!!

Please use this thread for all posts relating to our Premier League match against Manchester City at the Ethiad Stadium before, during and after the game. The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:30 hours on Saturday, 25th January 2025 (Local UK time/date) (Live on Sky Sports)

Goodness!! I wasn't expecting that!!! 😯

Probably from a place of ignorance but I really don't understand why Ben Chilwell has been banished (injuries aside) but then I didn't understand why we sold Gallagher either. I'm getting left behind with this 'new' Chelsea, several of whom are far less worthy of a place than the aforementioned. But I guess it's all about formations and how the manager wants us to play etc. Even so, it's a shame when two players of substance (IMO), not least because they valued playing for Chelsea, are considered surplus to requirements.
