She is so awesome! It's ridiculous that if Canberra had one more international player they could have postponed their game but losing three of your players apparently isn't enough in the APL's eyes 😡

Is it time Jess Nash was back in the Tillies squad? Also, Boot to AAMI Park? That pitch was a cow paddock and that game deserved better.

Do you think Canberra have a bunch of young players with the potential to develop into stars to make CU a title threat in the next few seasons (assuming they can keep hold of most of them) or were they just an average team that had a group of players that played out of their skins for one season?

As a (now) Vancouverite I've got to ask why someone who isn't from here would choose the Canucks as their team? It seems like it's only going to drain you more 🤣

Was the Khamis/Freier incident the joint stupidest actions you've ever seen for a red card in dub history?

Please let it be Michelle Kang 🤞

Why do Canberra seemingly not want to enter the top 6?

It really says something when Canada Soccer, an organisation with even less money and business acumen than Football Australia, are able to get a coach of the level of Casey Stoney before FA have found anyone 🤷‍♂️

With the Canadian NSL starting up in April, given it looks like it will be closer to the dub in skill level, do you think there is a good chance we might see a few players head over there at the end of the season to do double duty?

I'd be super interested to know how you find the book once you've read a decent amount of it. Been looking at this myself but am starting to become reasonably happy with how I annotate games now-a-days.

If only Canberra had held on to their lead they could have helped you with the Circle of Dub as well.

I saw Holly McNamara and Canberra United in the same post and for a second I thought Canberra had just pulled off the signing off the season!

Have you used any of Chessly's courses? If so how did you find it/them? On a personal note I find I prefer a good book to Chessable for openings but that said I have found Chessable excellent for learning a whole repertoire (as opposed to just one opening).

All of them! 🤣 Specific highlights are Christmas pud with rum sauce and, I have to agree, fancy cheese is always a must 😋

It's probably being more specific than you were after but I really enjoy Andras Toth's educational YouTube vids and Daniel King's game recaps.
