2016 Pre Season friendlies

Daniel ‏@DandalBs  14 Dec 2015
Rosengård preseason plans includes February friendlies against Brøndby, Manchester City and Fortuna Hjörring.

@psychfan_13 Bröndby 30 January, Manchester City 7 February, Fortuna Hjøring 13 February. Don't know if it's home or away.

That's a good preseason friendly for City.

The same source also tweeted this a week or so earlier:

Cool & unexpected: Piteå pre-season camp will be @ Manchester City training grounds, matches v City (19 Feb) and Liverpool (25 Feb).

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich in Sevilla on the 6 Feb was announced yesterday via Bayern.

City are saying their Rosengard friendly is on 7th Feb and the one against Pitea it on the 25th Feb. So it looks like the Pitea dates for both City and Liverpool have changed.

one against Pitea it on the 25th Feb

That has to be damn close to the time of the England call ups for the tournament in America. Wonder if City is playing a friendly without their England girls.

Piteå planned Liverpool friendly 22 Feb didn't work out. Talks with Chelsea. Last resort is a 2nd Manchester City match.

Arsenal are playing Wolfsburg today as part of their Spain trip according to Kelly Smith.

South Africa's coach has said she didn't know this was happening.

Arsenal lost 3-0. I can't find their line up but WOB started with Schult – Bunte, Peter, Fischer, Dickenmann – Bernauer, Goeßling – Jakabfi, Bachmann – Hansen, Popp

Apparently nobody in the whole of the South African FA knows what it is. Somebody must have crossed one hell of a wire.

Did Rich and Andrew tweet the whole of the South African FA? There has to be somebody at the FA that gave the go ahead on this friendly and forgot to tell their new manager about it.

Arsenal have been very quiet about this friendly. I think that the only reason they acknowledge it was because Wolfsburg did on. They haven't even tweeted the score like Wolfsburg have. I saw a halftime photo of Williams and Nobbs walking off the pitch so they at least started the game.

Arsenal apparently started with: van Veenendaal, Scott, Williamson, Rose, Janssen, Losada, Nobbs, Williams, van de Donk, Carter, Natalia

No meaningful commentary of the game from Arsenal Twitter feed, I guess all they post are videos

HT 1-0 to Arsenal (Nobbs 6')

FT Arsenal 3-1 Bayern
Nobbs 6', Natalia 60' 68' - Däbritz 50'

How interesting that Arsenal are quick to tweet their win and yet still nothing about their 3-nil defeat to Wolfsburg

I can understand the club twitter not saying anything about the Wolfsburg result because it hadn't said anything about the Wolfsburg game full stop. But the players clearly spoke about it prior to kick off. Did any of them talk about it afterwards?

I don't know.  I was going off of the tweets and retweets of the Arsenal ladies twitter page, I don't follow any of their players.  Most of them are a bit too sophomoric for my taste.

It's hard to gauge anything from Arsenal's friendly today, mainly because there aren't many who can claim to have seen it but also because both sides appear to have made a fair few substitutions. City's game against Rosengard tomorrow should hopefully be better for reports. And it sounds like there have been plenty of closed door friendlies happening but no details as per usual.

City XI: Bardsley, Bronze, Houghton (c), McManus, Stokes, Walsh, Scott, Christiansen, Asllani, Ross, Duggan
subs: Hourihan, Parris, Brougham, Tynan, Megan Campbell

FT City 3-1 Rosengard
Christiansen 22', Duggan 47', Houghton 70' - Riley 57'

Goals from @IzzyChr17, @toni_duggan and @stephhoughton2 secure the victory!

A convincing win in front of a home crowd of 1027.
