Highlights are now out, if anyone that wasn't at the game wants to see how it really unfolded...

Also, Southampton ended up being drawn against a fellow side in their league...Ipswich Town

 

Out of interest where in the pyramid are Southampton in comparison to us?

Southern Premier which is next league down (3rd tier). They along with Ipswich are very good teams at this level and vying for promotion to the women's  Championship.

I see Sophie Baggaley finally got to play for United tonight, see got sent off for professional foul outside the area 

Yep, she's usually their goalkeeper for when United are in cup games. Didn't know she got sent off; all I heard was that Chelsea beat them & they'll face the winners of Man City & Spurs from tonight's semi-final. Had I not already had plans tonight while here in Manchester, I'd have attended it as a neutral

Back at the HPC today; for the only home game in February, with three away games following this.
After travelling all the way to Blackpool & back yesterday, I'm still heading down to watch City get the three points against Crystal Palace.

As it's a home game, for those that can't make it, it is once again on Robins TV, Facebook, and YouTube:

Shahan, Seriously 'HATS OFF TO YOU' - I really admire your support to Bristol City (Mens & Girls) and indeed Bristol Sport 

Blackpool yesterday and HPC today, do you EVER have time to work or even go home ???? 

Thank you. I work Monday to Friday! And as for Bristol Sport, I don't support the Flyers but that's because I'm not really into basketball

Back to winning ways, and didn't give Palace much of a sniff on a blustery day. Good performances throughout which were helped by early strikes.

Have to say I thought the midfiled was almost entirely Aimee Plamer's zone; agree with the thought that she could do with a little more support as there weren't many short passes on at times. Maybe Kukyen?

A tad disappointing to see a smaller crowd today - maybe the weather was unappealing or they are still in Blackpool.

Really enjoyed the game today albeit it was sooooooooooooo cold, then it rained and for a while, the sun came out and was in my eyes!! (Stop grumbling - Ed).

Agree with Erithacus, Aimee Palmer was great today. In addition, Satara Murray was nearly back to her best too and for me, that was the best game I've seen Mel Johnson have. She had the right back on toast several times & with luck and more accurate finishing, she could have had two or three goals herself. Abi was Abi and could have had more, credit to the Palace keeper for keeping the score down.

Enjoying the regular appearance of a microfibre cloth. Yesterday the mens game on Robins TV could have done with a bit of that. 

Arguably yesterday it would have been better for the microfibre cloth just to be draped over the lens so we could not see!

Nice to see the women's team back to winning ways today

Agree about Johnson…she glides, not sure she sprints, but she is so quick.

Unfortunately the weather up on Failand can be unappealing for much of the season. I've been up a couple of times and the forecast was a significant factor in choosing to watch the game from the sofa.

Mel Johnson is quick but she is also very good a moving defenders about to create space for others. Sometimes she doesn't see that much of the ball, but the team looks better when she plays.

I like it when she plays closer to Abi Harrison, an option short and long then.

Today's team away to Durham, kicking off at 12pm. Looks like an unchanged XI

Game isn't being streamed anywhere, but there is live commentary on Durham Hospital Radio http://dhradio.org.uk

I'll try to follow it; but with the men's team playing away to Swansea, I may be distracted!

Couple of City women to be in action this afternoon, in the Pinatar Cup taking place in Spain.

Abi Harrison is on the bench for Scotland, while Ffion Morgan is on the bench for Wales.
Chloe Bull is absent from the Wales squad.

Game kicks off at 2:30pm, live on BBC iPlayer.

Plenty of ex-Bristol City/Academy players featuring in the squads...

We all know @Davefevs is the king of analysis, but David Astill from Total Football Analysis has provided some interesting viewpoints of the team with his own analysis...

Abi Harrison scored yesterday in Scotland's 2-0 win over Slovakia yesterday in the Pinatar Cup.
Also in the cup, Ffion Morgan came on as a sub for Wales in their 0-0 draw with Belgium, who would win 3-1 on penalties

(I'd have posted yesterday but I was at Ashton Gate enjoying my day & celebrating...)

City's Ffion Morgan starts for Wales against Republic of Ireland in Pinatar Cup. Game is live now, and can be seen on BBC Sport/iPlayer

Quick international round-up

Wales would go on to lose 1-0.
Scotland v Hungary saw Abi Harrison start again for Scotland. It was 0-0 at full time, but Scotland would win 3-1 on penalties.
But because of how the Pinatar Cup works with its results, it would be Belgium that would be eventual winners in the tournament.

Also, in England's development phase squad, Aggie Beever-Jones came on as a sub and scored the winner against Denmark's respective team to make it 2-1.

Am hoping the players on international duty will be back in time for Sunday's away game against London City Lionesses

The away game to Sheffield United (who play in Chesterfield's ground, which is oddly enough on Sheffield Road) has been brought forward a day to Saturday 26th March - KO 12:30pm.

Game will be live on FA Player, for those that can't make it (I can't make it as I'll be travelling to watch Bristol Bears play Saracens at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and the original date I couldn't make as I'm going to a gig in Cardiff that night)

Do the Womens teams have some form of FFP?

I’m guessing not, as their costs are actually excluded for City’s accounts for FFP purposes.

There is a salary cap in the WSL by the looks of it:

Few rescheduled Championship games taking place today (for teams no longer in the FA Cup). 2nd v 4th in the league, kicking off at 2pm. I can't make it as I'm still in Nottingham, and it's not being streamed anywhere.

Other games are Blackburn v Lewes, and Sunderland v Crystal Palace; both at midday
