Bristol City Women slip to a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in front of a record-breaking crowd at Ashton Gate stadium. Just over 14,000 people flocked to BS3 to watch a solid performance with plenty of stand-out defensive moments. While at least half the crowd were there to see ex-Vixen and now football legend Mary Earps, it was the shot-stopping of City keeper Liv Clark that caught the eye. City will take much heart from a game which saw us struggle to effectively link defensive, midfield and attacking play. Make no mistake, this was a battling effort, and will add fuel to our fire when we ..read more

Well, that was a bit disappointing, wasn't it? Not our podcast, silly! We're talking about Bristol City Women's 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on a dreary Sunday at Ashton Gate. We struggle to pick out the positives from a lack lustre and low energy performance which sees us slip back to the bottom of the WSL. But we do try and make sense of what happened, and what needs to be different next time at Everton when we go again. COYR! Vixens ‘Til We Die! COYR!

Toot toot! All aboard the away day train! D-M and Nat are joined by a bumper crew (Shahan, Dan, Magda, Dave and Mike) on a victorious journey to Dagenham East to watch City Women convincingly beat West Ham to claim our first W of the WSL season. Our hearty travellers were treated to an entertaining 3-2 victory with goals from Amalie Thestrup, Ella Powell and Brooke Aspin. We talk about the season so far and reflect on the talking points from a very satisfying win on the road, a game which saw the return of the one and only Abi Harrison. Bring on Arsenal (Thursday) and Villa (Sunday). Vixens ‘T ..read more

Relive Sunday night's magical game under the fire-breathing lights at Ashton Gate! Savour the many marvels of Furney's head, goalkeeping brilliance from WSL debutant Liv Clark, and blocks to die for from Megan Connolly and Jamie-Lee Napier. Ok, so we didn't win. But it felt like we had won, in a way. Along with 12,008 people wanting a fun Sunday night out, Bristol City Women turned up and said: we are here, and we're ready to play.

D-M & Nat offer a surprisingly upbeat appraisal of Bristol City Women's 4-2 season-opening loss to Leicester City Women. Why not? After all, we scored two goals today. In the WSL. That's two more than Arsenal did. We cover the inevitable screamer from Aimee Palmer, good feelings at the Gate, promising forward play from Carrie Jones, a brilliant shift from the ever-blossoming Layzell, regrettable concentration lapses and midfield imbalances. We look ahead to Tottenham, next Sunday, and say sorry to Martha Thomas while we're at it. Vixens ‘Til We Die! COYR! Not sure how much longer we'll be ..read more

We're back! After a pre-season sat on the sofa watching the World Cup, D-M & Nat return to share their thoughts ahead of the brand new WSL season.

What a busy month it has been for Bristol City Women and, so far, we've not covered any of it! D-M & Nat catch their breath and discuss four weeks of football packed with endless incident, on and off the pitch. We talk through a productive January transfer window, which has seen our squad bolstered with three quality players in defence, midfield and attack. Then we dissect the game of the season versus London City Lionesses and the tricky after-party against Lewes. Thanks, as ever, for listening.

2-1 down with 5 minutes to play, you say?  An injury time comeback with an Abi Harrison wonder-heed winner in the 90+7 minute? Well, we didn't see that coming, but: Coventry Utd came for a battle, and the RHPC regulars were treated to a dramatic start to 2023.  D-M and Nat talk through the ebbs and flows of City's 3-2 victory against a dogged - and impressive - Coventry team.  We celebrate a fantastic debut from academy product Mari Ward and make the argument for Harrison down the middle (always). We relive that Jodie Hutton pass and - of course - the outrageous Harrison winner ..read more

D-M & Nat get in the festive spirit with a bumper Vixencast that covers everything that has happened since our last episode - way back in mid-November.  And oh, what a lot of things have happened! We pay particular attention to our 2-0 home victory in the FA Cup against bette noirs Southampton, and discuss which player has impressed us most in the first half of the season. We also look ahead to a tantalising run of fixtures in January - including three in a row at the RHPC - that will likely define whether we remain the front-runners in the race to win the Barclays FA Women's Champion ..read more
