Match Review: Manchester United Women 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur Women

In what was dubbed a dress rehearsal for the Women's FA Cup Final on May 12th, United and Spurs managed to share the spoils - for now - but there were positive signs for United if they can sharpen up on goal.

Stats are a lovely tool to have, adding flavour to any match report and game analysis, and the stats - as shown below - point out two things: United were the side in control, and United should have won the game.

United's backline were instantly put under pressure in the first 30 seconds but United woke up and got a good footing in the game. Ella Toone came accidentally close in the 9th minute, trying to find Leah Galton at back post, but it was Melvine Malard who opened the scoring with a beautiful header off a millimetre perfect free kick from deep by Gemma Evans; lofted with the utmost precision for Malard to nod over the approaching Spurs keeper Becky Spencer.

Tottenham countered quickly with Naz and Vinberg - a sign of things to come - but were held off, and as quickly as they hit United, United hit back. Pressure onto Neville saw Naalsund pick up a loose ball outside the box, quick pass to Malard, pivot, shot, and then in the scramble between Spencer, Parris and Nilden, a free kick was given against United.

Poor positioning cost United for the equaliser, with a deep Spurs cross cleared out only as far as Spence. A scuffed volley bobbled the ball through to Beth England for an easy tap home past an aghast Mary Earps, but it was Maya Le Tissier - fresh from her contract signing - that stood out of sync with the rest of the defence and failed to play the offside trap. Frustrating.

United's second goal conceded was in similarly silly circumstances; Mary Earps screaming at Aoife Mannion to chase the loose ball, Mannion presuming Mearps has it, and Tottenham's Vinberg strolling in to play the ball into the box. Le Tissier covered well, with Mannion filling her void in CB momentarily, but wizardry from striker Jess Naz spun captain Katie Zelem and fizzed in a shot straight above Mary Earps' head. Poor from the keeper, poor from Zel, and poor from nearby Tooney who could have easily pressured Naz from that close range with a sprint to jostle. Maybe she was worried about giving away a penalty, but someone should have closed Naz down and forced her to choose the wider path towards a waiting Gemma Evans or to back off outside the box. A communication issue no doubt, given no Jayde Riviere or Hannah Blundell starting.

Blundell on for Mannion at half time made sense, and the second half saw more intensity and aggression from United; with far more crossing to pressure the Spurs defence in the air now that Blundell was on. 55th minute subs introduced both Lucia Garcia for Nikita Parris and Rach Williams for Melvine Malard, but the United couldn't quite find the net. Further subs in the 76th saw Miyazawa on for Toone and Geyse on for Galton, but it took a Gemma Evans corner in the 91st minute to find Rach Williams, the bar, bounce back out, and be crashed into by Maya Le Tissier to even the game up and give United a very much deserved point at Leigh Sports Village.

There will be frustration at United's failure to convert the oh-so-many chances in the second half, but the turnaround in United's style was a good sight to see, and on another day (say, the FA Cup final?) maybe several goals went in and this was a comfortable win rather than a consolation point. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- The disappointment doesn't end there though. Fans will also be concerned at the potential departure of United's tenacious Spaniard Lucia Garcia, whose contract is close to expiring and - based on Instagram - might not be renewed/extended.

And how we will miss her humour, as well as that unquestionable hard work on the field, if she does leave us. Another huge mistake from Manchester United Football Club if so.

Only three games remain in the WSL; Leicester away, Liverpool away, and Chelsea at Old Trafford - before which comes the FA Cup Final at Wembley. It's going to be a difficult few weeks, but the hottest fires produce the strongest steel...

Ted Lasso 3x11 thoughts

It really was very nice to see Ted around the neighborhood saying Hi to everyone again, I missed watching him be part of the community a lot throughout the season

I liked the selection of guys who went to get Nate back

I think it would’ve been nice to have seen something that indicated that shift for the team since the last time we saw them thinking about Nate was that disaster at the West Ham match but I’m also not that committed to this 😅 Maybe seeing the vote they mentioned could’ve been fun and illuminating

It felt true to Nate that he enjoyed working at the restaurant

They must’ve been late to practice waiting for 75 freaking kebabs to be ready lmao

Got a kick out of mama Lasso being the origin of the open peanut butter jar

Finding out Beard has to routinely go over to Ted’s flat to make his oven stop beeping was very fun

Had a real good time of Ted being so annoyed at his mom behaving exactly like him. The split shot where she’s heading for the stairs and he’s behind rubbing his face lmao

I cracked up at the press conference when Jamie said the goal should be scrapped from the records and “i apologize to everyone, especially the kids” lmao

Screamed at Ted’s mom being named Dorothy they are shameless

Rebecca was SO excited to meet mama Lasso it was so cute, the way she threw her arms up when Dottie dropped the “Winner winner BF Skinner” line was super adorable, it was also cute how low she had to lean in order to hug Dottie

“I can’t believe I’m finally getting to meet the woman who created one of the nicest humans I’ve ever met” was also very very cute and welcome, I would like a full detailed account of what Rebecca thinks about Ted now thanks (but also I wish that delivery had been more pointed somehow, more loaded, do you know what I mean? Not because I think it had to be, I just got shipper goggles on and that would’ve made me lose my mind.)

The way Rebecca laughed when Dottie said the thing about Ted popping out of her already asking the doctor if he needed anything made me laugh, and then how annoyed Ted was by it made me laugh even more

It’s also pretty cute that Rebecca was so delighted by mama Lasso doing the very things Ted annoyed her for originally, like, those are things she loves now because she associates them with him

Mamma Lasso charming the locker room was great

Ted and Rebecca off to the side in his office observing was also great. I love that Rebecca was delighted by mama Lasso but also aware that Ted was not having a good time (and she hit him with Oklahoma again!)

I laughed at the eyebrow hair joke cause I knew exactly what Ted meant 😂 I’ve annoyed my dad many times about this specifically

“Sometimes the truth can ruin a perfectly good story” “You should work for the daily mail” I cant explain it but this exchange delighted me, they seem so friendly and have such a good back and forth, it’s always a pleasure to seem them onscreen together, and I will never forgive them for not letting us see more of it this season

Rebecca Welton horse girl confirmed!

Ted said he didn’t eat the poop candy bar, but his mom said he did, but we know she has a tendency to embellish her stories, but Ted seemed eager to stop that one in its tracks, so what is the truth??

Trent jumping at the chance to interview Mama Lasso was funny as was her saying his hair is fabulous, real audience self insert moment

“Shouting is Roy’s love language”

I enjoyed Jamie’s boot room meltdown though it was a bit over the top lmao for a split second I thought he was gonna kiss Roy

“Will?” “Yeah” “You missed a good one” I was howling at this lmaoooooo and Will looked so disappointed too he is a nosy little bitch those boot room encounters are NOT an accident he wants that tea

I nearly started crying when Ted said “Man, this place is great, right?” Cause like is it Ted?? Is it really?? I haven’t felt that from you and why???? WHY

Again, wish we’d seen this vote about Nate coming back even more knowing Higgins was approached about it or maybe initiated it

I love that Beard and Dottie have a whole thing going on including nicknames and a theme song

Ted storming off lmaooo

On the one hand I’m very confused about R/K on the other I’m glad its confusing because it means they didn’t just skip their getting back together last week, it was just a hook up

Babs always delivers she is so funny

“Still running around in circles, making sure everybody’s okay without accepting a drop of help for himself.” Sure, but where was that this season 😅

When beard asked Dottie how she was and she didn’t wanna answer I immediately thought she was sick or something and spent the rest of the ep on edge about it

I still don’t get how we’re supposed to take Beard and Jane

Thought it was a bit much to directly quote soooo much of this be the verse

The ominous shot of Dorothy’s house spinning on the pinball machine I stg

Laughed at Ted trying to put the suitcase on the bed and his mom going not on the bed! And him having to redirect on the fly

“I’ve actually been talking to this therapist” “Oh let me guess, it’s all my fault” that was SO momcore. This scene where they talk about the panic attacks and therapy and Ted asks if she ever considered talking to someone was actually my favorite exchange between Ted and his mom in terms of the emotional stuff, that I really felt, especially when she says “And you know I love my tea” how heavy that felt and how informative it was, to me, of their relationship without overstating it

Nora telling Rebecca to stop using her jet is SUCH a fic thing I was losing my mind

Jamie not high-fiving the guy and just walking straight into his hand made me laugh

Of course Kenneth does drag

Keeley was weird in this episode but I cant say what the problem was

Everyone, and I mean everyone, at team movie night was so fun! Rebecca looked so incredibly good! She was wearing jeans!!!

Cracked up at Dani sussing out Roy and Keeley and Keeley being like we’re just friends! And Roy being like she just looks very nice!

Don’t care for the way they keep rehashing S/R 🤨

Ted saying Sleepless in Seattle is better than You’ve Got Mail is truly insane, terrible taste on the man.

Love to know Jamie has a very nice step dad and I loved his mum!

I saw people thinking it was weird that Roy kept staring at Jamie and his mum but to me it just seemed like Roy thought what he was seeing was weird

Jade grew on me, she and Babs were the only worthy additions this season (even if Jade is technically from last season)

The posters on Jamie’s wall sfdhglisfhg the ot3 is SO real this is crazy

They really gotta let Keeley speak, it feels like things have just been happening to her this entire season when will she be Keeley-fucking-Jones The Independent Woman again?

What the fuck was Roy trying to hug Jamie’s mum and blowing her a kiss and saying he loves her, was he drunk? I did not get that at all

Rebecca’s dad went to art school! Not sure why that’s exciting, but it is!

This episode made me realize how much I missed seeing more of the matches, I watched this game on the edge of my seat like it was in real time

Higgins not wanting to move and jinx it 😂 Everything with Keeley, Higgins and Rebecca on the stands is always great and fun

I wonder what Jade would report Derek for lmao I like that she got Nate fired, again, Jade really grew on me

Jamie’s “Fuck you” and “Thank you” and Ted using it later on with his mom was good, though the pep talk itself didn’t necessarily work for me

Jamie acting like a prick and taking the hazing was great, it was also great to hear Jamie Tartt dododododo again, didn’t even realize I’d missed it. Their second goal was so exciting and the ManCity crowd later cheering Jamie was emotional as were the flashes of his mum watching the game. Anyway, everything Jamie was good as it’s been for the entire season.

Unexpected to see James Tartt in rehab

I didn’t like the Pep cameo, sue me lmao

Jamie saying goodbye to all the players was great, especially him saying he’s proud of Colin

My favorite Ted moment of the episode was when he changed Beard’s mind about Nate. I liked that it was a callback to when they all laughed when first watching Nate struggling with the sign and Ted turned it around and showed Beard how cruel it was to mock someones lowest moment.

Roy/Keeley/Jamie is extremely real, and I loved Ted passing them by and the parallel to season 1 when he sees Jamie with his dad

Beard forgiving Nate was easily my favorite scene in the episode. I loved Beard and Ted’s backstory and I really really loved “And then I stole from my friend, who forgave me, and gave me a job and a life. So to honor that, I forgive you, I offer you a job, and the life part’s up to you.” That really got me and Brendan’s delivery worked so well for me, the forehead touch and the hug as well, it felt like such a genuine moment, I was very happy with it.

Ted and Dottie’s last conversation didn’t land for me, but I enjoyed Ted cursing lmao and I liked “Sometimes you lose, sometime you win, but most of the time you just tie.”

I knew from filming that Bex would show up on Rebecca’s doorstep but Ms. Kakes was a surprise and I’m already SO excited about where this is going, I hope Rupert gets so fucked especially after I had so many issues with how he was handled last episode. Ps: I loved the sweater Rebecca was wearing in this scene.

The fact that his mom left with just a note was an interesting parallel to Sharon trying to do the same and to Deborah doing it to Rebecca

Hannah’s back looked so good in that dress

By that point I’d told myself a truth bomb wasn’t gonna happen and gasped when we saw Rebecca in his office even though I knew full well she didn’t have any truths to bomb him with

It’s so funny that she had this on her calendar or whatever, like yeah she had nothing but still felt the need to uphold tradition you know how it is lmao she’s ridiculous, @thesumdancekid said she should’ve told him something silly just to maintain the pattern and I agree and think that would’ve been cute

Again it is always such a pleasure to see them together onscreen no matter what they’re doing, my heart went off just from seeing them framed by that door

I swear next ep better start exactly where this one left off, I will cry real tears if we don’t get Rebecca’s immediate reaction to Ted saying he’s leaving.

"Couples Retreat"

What's a little therapy, a shared bed, and intimacy exercises between platonic partners?

Complete Fic, Chapters posted at least daily. Beta: @agent-troi

“Meeting with Skinner in five, Scully,” she heard him yell from the front of their office.

She was in the annex, looking at evidence under a microscope, and had completely lost track of time. She was grateful for the reminder. Skinner told them in passing earlier that he needed to discuss a policy change and a new case with them.

The policy discussion had her on edge. The new case had Mulder filled with glee.

“Maybe it’s the Yeti, Scully.” He teased.

“In your dreams, Mulder.” She replied, exasperated.

“As long as we can work it together.” He said. He’d been extra protective of her since their last case; she almost lost her life when a novelist had turned stalker, and Mulder had hardly let her out of his sight since.

She appreciated his concern and, honestly, she enjoyed his increased attention. Still, she didn’t know what to make of it, realizing it was probably temporary.

They made their way to Skinner’s office, Arlene waving them in.

“Agents.” He gestured to the chairs across from his desk. “Thank you for coming. I have a new case for you and a policy update that aligns with some specifics of the case.”

“Okay,” Mulder asked.

“It’s undercover as a married couple again. You two did well enough in Arcadia—the bosses thought of you for this case. A couple’s therapist, Rebecca Stratton, is counseling wealthy clients and is suspected of blackmailing them with their relationship secrets.”

“So, we are going to become new clients?” Scully asked.

“Yes, she’s hosting a retreat in upstate New York this weekend. You will attend the event as a couple and try to determine who is involved and how she is getting clients to share such intimate information.”

“With all due respect, sir, this is not an X-File. I’m surprised this is even an FBI case,” Mulder said skeptically.

“Let’s just say,” Skinner whispered, “a certain individual with an office inside the Capitol Building is being blackmailed and has called in some favors, Agents.”

Mulder pursed his lips and nodded.

Scully’s mind drifted, thinking of playing a married couple again. In Arcadia, she wanted to lean into the experience and enjoy some time alone with Mulder—the man she considered her favorite person on most days—but Diana had returned and created a fission of distrust that resulted in both of them spending the days caged and grouchy, despite solving the case. Maybe this time will be different? She thought.

“Are you okay?” Mulder leaned over and whispered to her.

She broke out of her daze. “Yes. Sorry. I was just thinking.” She turned her attention from Mulder to Skinner, “You said a policy change is involved here?”

“Yes,” Skinner said. He shuffled some papers on his desk until he seemed to find what he was looking for. “The F.B.I. policy prohibiting fraternization has changed.”

“Sir?” Scully asked. She looked at Mulder, and he had a confused look on his face.

“Well. I know you two have worked very hard to be discreet about your, uh…personal, romantic relationship. You had to pretend to be married for the Arcadia case but also pretend to be platonic; I’m sure that was tricky.”

Scully was thoroughly confused about where this was going but unable to interject, temporarily losing the ability to formulate words. 

Skinner continued, “The new policy is Disclosure. Partnered agents can be in relationships or married as long as they sign a disclosure form.” 

He held up two papers in his hands, “Basically, you swear to do everything in your power not to let the relationship compromise your work. The change was made as F.B.I. HR feels it is better to have an awareness of these relationships, rather than encouraging people to hide….”

He was rambling.

Mulder interrupted. “Sir, we aren’t in a relationship.”

“See, that’s the thing Agent Mulder; you don’t have to pretend anymore.”

“We aren’t pretending, sir. We aren’t in a relationship.” He said.

Scully was frozen. Their boss was convinced they were having sex, maybe in love. Holy shit, she thought.

She looked to Skinner, who was looking at Mulder with an astonished look on his face.

“Agents, I apologize if I misunderstood, but…you have keys to each other’s apartments, you seem to be able to communicate in some secret language, and you have a secret handshake. Mulder—Agent Fowley came back—and you didn’t seem interested in her, despite your past.”

Scully was shaking her head and realized Mulder was doing the same.

“SEE THAT! You mirror each other. And you are at each other’s apartments all the time.”

Two partnered heads continued to shake vigorously.

“Fine, you aren’t in a relationship currently, but you are going to sit there and tell me nothing has ever happened with you two?”

The hallway—Mulder—a bee. Scully thought. But technically, nothing happened then, and certainly, nothing has happened since.

“No, sir. We are partners.” Mulder said.

“We are just close, sir,” Scully added.

“Could have fooled me,” he said, shaking his head. “Well, I thought this would help alleviate any burden of the undercover assignment…but I guess it’s a moot point. Are you two willing to take the assignment?”

“Yeah,” Mulder said. 

“Yep,” she added at the same time.

“You will need to think of some salacious details of your—well, what apparently is a non-existent relationship—to share with her, to pique her interest in you.”

Scully could feel her face fill with heat and blush. Oh my god, she thought. She wanted to disappear into the chair.

“We’ll take care of it, Sir,” Mulder said.

“Okay, good. Flight tomorrow morning. Here is your cover information. Dress is casual classy; go home and pack.”

Mulder nodded, and Scully followed him out of the office.

She could tell he wanted to talk about all that had just happened in Skinner’s office, the fact that he believed they were in some kind of intimate relationship, and that they needed to create ‘salacious’ details for their cover. But Scully felt like she couldn’t breathe. She saw Diana walking towards them in the distance, and for once, she was glad to push her partner towards his ex.

“Fox!” Diana said.

“Mulder, I have to go take care of some things. I’ll see you at the airport tomorrow.”

“Scully…but…”

She was gone, leaving Mulder and Diana in her dust.

rebecca’s delight at dottie’s verbal mannerisms matching her son Ted’s is a wonderful sight to see. she’s ecstatic, chuckling over every remark, going absolutely giddy when dottie confirmed with “winner, winner, b.f. skinner.” the rhyming salutation has been a regular of ted’s with rebecca taking a second look at his face whenever he hasn’t said it. to hear it coming straight from his momma is probably something of an experience.

When Scully wakes, he is in her bed.

She didn’t expect him to still be there. No one in her life ever stays, certainly not anyone good.

Which is why she has to end it. They will take him from her like they’ve taken all good things in her life.

And like all good things in her life, this one can’t last.

She dresses quietly and drives to the building on autopilot, runs a brush through sleep-mussed hair. She doesn’t want to look at herself in the mirror but she catches a glimpse as she enters the building.

She looks tired. Sick.

She is tired and sick. They’ve been reluctant to give her this last bout of treatment, saying her information has been drying up, and what are they keeping her around for, then?

Skinner isn’t there when she knocks on his door. She knew he wouldn’t be. Instead, he is, the man with smoke forever clouding his face.

“I can’t do this anymore,” she says, shutting the door behind her. She hates how her voice trembles. “I won’t.”

“You don’t have a choice.”

“You think I won’t die to get away from you?” she asks.

“You didn’t want to two years ago.”

“Two years ago I wasn’t this,” she says. “I wasn’t—wasn’t a traitor, wasn’t betraying my country, two years ago I had something to live for.”

She doesn’t know why she’s admitting this to him of all people. Maybe because she doesn’t care.

“You’re making a mistake,” he says. “We will end you.”

You already have, she thinks.

“Go ahead,” she says and turns towards the door.

“Dana,” he says, and there’s a warning in his tone. “We’ll end him. You know we can do it.”

This makes her stop. Pause.

“What do I care if you destroy Fox Mulder,” she says. “He means nothing to me.”

It’s the only lie she’s ever told that tastes bitter on her tongue.

53 and/or 59 from the prompt list 🤗

59 & 53! wanted to see if I could work them both into a drabble.

53) Who cares about what they think?

59) Is this okay?

MSR, post "All Things"

It's the first time they've gone out together as a couple. Well. Gone out is an overstatement; it's lunch in the J. Edgar Hoover building's cafeteria; someplace she's pretty sure Mulder has only set foot in once in his entire FBI career.

It's good—the food. Better than she expected for government food. It's a step up from airline food in that it's edible and at least mildly delicious.

What she can't get over is the staring.

Mulder keeps tapping his fingers on the table. They sit across from each other, her foot occasionally brushing his, and it really does feel like everyone in the building is watching them.

Do they know? Can they sense it—the change between the two of them? To her it feels palpable.

She reaches for his hand, if only to still his fingers. He startles, looks at her.

"Is this okay?" she asks, and he nods. She smiles reassuringly, not letting go of his hand for the rest of lunch until they stand to clear their trays.

She reaches for his hand again as they walk back down to the basement, on impulse. But she finds herself hesitating, suddenly.

As if he can read her mind, Mulder reaches down and intertwines his own fingers with hers.

"Who cares what they think?" he asks, and she nods, squeezing his hand, content as always to let him reassure her.
