Belgian media saying that OH Leuven goalie Nicky Evrard is going to sign fir Chelsea woman next coming days, transfer going to happen in the summer.

I don’t watch woman football a lot, only on occasion the big games/tournaments. But what I have seen from Nicky is promising, she also won the Belgian woman’s golden boot this week.

Good info, thank you.

Our long-term backup keeper, Zecira Musovic, has been preferred over regular starter, Ann-Katrin Berger in recent matches. She put in a stellar display at The Emirates to help earn a point against Arsenal. For now at least it seems we have a new first choice keeper. AKB is the oldest member of the squad and may not want to stick around if she loses top spot, and that would open a spot for a newcomer.

'Zee' is due to be out of contract this summer, while AKB's deal runs until the end of next season.

First time the women have played well for a while. Let's hope they are gearing up for the business end of the season. The next few games are mouth watering; Arsenal in The FA Cup and the League Cup Final, Lyon twice in the Champions League quarter-final, and both Manchester clubs, currently second placed United at home and currently third placed City away.

Upcoming Fixtures:

Sun 26 Feb 2023: vs Arsenal, FA Round 5, Home (Kingsmeadow)

Sun 05 Mar 2023: vs Arsenal, League Cup Final, Neutral (Selhurst Park)

Wed 08 Mar 2023: vs West Ham, WSL, Home (Kingsmeadow)

Sun 12 Mar 2023 vs Man Utd, WSL, Home (Kingsmeadow)

Wed 22 Mar 2023 vs Lyon, Champions League Qtr Final, Away (Groupama Stadium)

Sun 26 Mar 2023 vs Man City, WSL, Away (City Football Academy)

Thu 30 Mar 2023 vs Lyon, Champions League Qtr Final, Home (Stamford Bridge)

Plus, if we beat Arsenal in round five, there will be an FA Cup Qtr final tie between the Man Utd and Lyon games.

 

League Cup final tickets here, other tickets (when on sale) here.

The news is a week old now but, Sam Kerr became the first CFCW player to win the club's Goal of The Month poll. CFCW players have notched the best goal several times previously but have never won the vote. Most fans seem to think only about the men's team. Sam's win had to have been helped by the fact that CFCM didn't score many goals in January. 🙂

Chelsea's end for the League Cup Final vs Arsenal sold out quickly, so Blues fans switched to buying seats in the main stand. That is now also sold out, bar two or three seats. Tickets are still available in the Arthur Wait Stand however.

With Sam Kerr becoming the first woman ever to win the club's Goal of The Moth poll in January, here is an early CFCW candidate for February's award. As you watch this goal, bear in mind that Reece's little sister is right footed. Two-footedness is such an important attribute for professional footballers. I don't say they all have to rise to the level where they can do this, but no more Chelsea players please who are totally confined to one foot only. Look at the way this hampers Cucu's game for example.

now this is a proper team, greatly coached and prepared. Men’s team should take note on what it means to play and perform for Chelsea.

The women's 2-0 victory over Arsenal on Sunday represented the fifth time the clubs had met in the cup over the last six seasons. Aggregate score in those five matches is Chelsea 11-1 Arsenal. That makes the rivalry sound pretty one-sided but the games are often close affairs with Arsenal usually edging the possession battle, though not the scoreboard. That was the case again yesterday.

 

Next up for the women is The League Cup Final against Arsenal again. The match takes place at Selhurst Park, this Sunday (March 5th).  About 150 tickets remain available. https://tickets.cpfc.co.uk/en-GB/categories/womens leaguecup

The Chelsea end sold out long ago but If you want to go, and to be adjacent to the bulk of the Blues fans, blocks R & S of the Arthur Wait stand look your best bet currently.
