Should never have been given a new contract.

It’s not pedantic when you said they let her contract expire and she left on a free. That wasn’t the case.

City swapped Park plus cash for Clinton. Park was part of the fee for Clinton.

Courtney Brosnan is the first choice keeper and is out with a knee injury. Ramsey kept us in the game first half.

She didn’t sign for United on a free though. They swapped Grace Clinton (who came through our academy) for her.

Also, Jess Park’s dad is an Evertonian.

Park was never our player, she was only on loan from City to gain experience. They wouldn’t have sold her to us.

She’s a winger being asked to lead the line.

It’s a show about how lies and propaganda were spread about a group of people which lead to hysteria breaking out and people turning on each each other. This mass hysteria spread on both sides of the Atlantic and was perpetuated by those in power.

Rylan hosts.

No, it’s not This Morning.

Witches of Essex: Rylan and Prof Alice’s look at one of history’s most shameful periods is unfailingly moving

This engaging if slight show sees the unlikely duo reopen witch trials from 400 years ago on the hunt for justice. It’s Blackadder crossed with CSI – with a sprinkling of Philomena Cunk

Which is totally fine. It’s the people who try to impose their non-watching on others by saying just because they don’t, others shouldn’t.

I don’t like a lot of other sports, but I accept some people do without issue.

Unfortunately there has been a lot of short-sightedness around in Women’s football for a lot of teams - even now.

There are plenty of new songs she can learn though. I’m sure she will have a great time.

That’s pretty good, especially when the other Bristol team will take a lot of the limelight, particularly with their season in WSL1.

That’s pretty cool, to be honest.

Equally, not everyone wants to go to the Premier League football given the toxic masculinity that can surround the men’s game.

I know a couple of Reds who are going to the women’s match on Sunday to check out our new place as well.

I wouldn’t even be so sure!

I know it’s more likely to be a Celtic fan, but I wouldn’t rule it out being someone who is unhappy with the way their club is headed.

I always say that you find ways to turn down the volume on the voice that tells you that you aren’t good enough or that catastrophizes everything.

Poor mental health makes you view the world through a skewed lens. How you view yourself in the world is not how others will see you.

Why though? He was one of their own and brought a lot of success to their club?

Plus it gives them a chance to flog the more expensive food.

Agreed. Even if it’s just people taking their kids to the new place for the first time because the price and time are accessible. It creates that habit of going to the match - that football is not a TV show. Plus it might inspire one little girl to take up football so she too can play there one day.

“No-one’s interested in watching Everton Women.”

“They shouldn’t be using our new ground.”

Numbers don’t lie.
