Good luck Andie, difficult decision but the right one

[Goaters 103]

Good luck Fu. The right decision is sometimes the hardest one but I think you've chosen the correct option.

[Bingo Lewis]

[brite blu sky]

Well done Fu on what must have been a really tough call. Good luck.

Now what colour do we have for ex-players? is there one even?

If not how about a sort of baby shit colour... or a sort of shabby faded blue.
poll anyone?

[Alex Sapphire]

once a blue...
Best of luck, sounds like a great opportunity and a sound decision

[john68]

To those who have told you to live the dream...How long have you dreamt of playing for the scousers Fuey? Is there something we should be told?

GOOD LUCK ANDIE....Followed up by what Doomie said....and at least in goal, you won't have to wear red.

[crossan]

All the best go get em girl.............

You've made the decision I would have...well if I had a dirty fishbox, some footballing talent and still no scruples! I'm surprised at you for doing the sensible thing tho ;-)

Chuffed for you. Back in the big time motherfucker. Are you aiming to outdo Neville Southall as the oldest ever Welsh international keeper now haha

In terms of her colour on here....fucking Kasper Schmeichel is still that colour so I guess it applies to MCFC has-beens too hooooo haaaaarrrr

ps. Wozza, I have been discussing the same questions at work today and looks likely that I too will be offski. Either back to the UK or Dubai. All should become clear over the next few days. Natalie nearly got caught in some Muslim/Coptic Christian rioting on her route home, car surrounded with people armed with machetes, swords, sticks and a couple of guns and lots of rocks being thrown. Ended up with 11 dead and over 100 hospitalised. So I'm afraid Cunt Cairo may be not too much longer for this online world

Ant -- sad to hear about Natalie. Scary stuff.

also, more shocking...that you took a thread about someone else's fantastic news and made it 100% about Ant London. #shocking

cheers

Sorry for the delay for those of you that have been waiting but I had to make sure that I told everyone before posting on the net.

I choose to play for Liverpool, it was just to good an offer to turn down. I will fully update tomo as the wife is shouting at me for being on my phone. Will get the thumb off my head at some point and update.

I think you were always going to go and just needed a few blues to tell you it was the right move to validate a decision you made before you even created this thread. Glad you got what you wanted you fucking traitor.

[Sister of fu]

Finally able to get on line without the giant thumb on my head and update how things went.

So the decision to choose City or Liverpool all hinged on the advise of the most important person in the world to me, my Mum. I went to see my parents on Saturday morning and the decision was made when Mum said " since you were little all you wanted to do was to play football and as a child you were not allowed, now you have the chance to play at the highest level and get paid for the privilege so do it"

So on Saturday night i called the City gaffer and told him that I was leaving, he was pretty gutted to say the least and also somewhat surprised but understood my reasons. On Sunday i played my last game for City in a 2-1 win against Curzon Ashton which left City 8 points clear at the top. I will be praying that they can push on and now win the league.

I went to my 2nd Liverpool session last night and felt totally out of my comfort zone. But this is a good thing which will only make me stronger. The session was superb and not wanting to sound disrespectful to City a few notches up from anything I have done in three years.

We did some serious running then a lot of core work which was tough going. I think I actually enjoyed the running more which really does say something for me. I am so happy that I have spent the last few months pounding the hills of Rivington and getting stronger and fitter.

On Fridays we will do session more around football and Wednesdays will be fitness. I have been given a free gym membership to Total Fitness so on days off will be expected to do some work there. I’m likely to pay for a fitness trainer so that by the 14/04/2011 im fit and raring to go.

My first game is Sunday against Charlton in the FA Cup so i will let you guys no how I got on. Really excited about the next adventure in my football career.



Heather getting far more excited than me about the move, note i still have my City hoody on!

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Good luck Andie.

[brite blu sky]

I saw the FA cup matches scheduled and wondered if you would be thrown straight in.. top notch. Good Luck.

Is the SuperLeague going to be televised at all do you know, i thought i heard somewhere it was. I hope so.

[Blue Blood]

Good luck Andie.

Same, best of luck Andie! :D

[markuse]

Good luck Andie.

Same, best of luck Andie! :D

x3 Andie, good luck in this new experience. Just don't become too keen on wearing red

H looks dead fuclin sexay in that hat tho i must say. A guy like you shouldn't be pulling a bird that hot. Just sayin. Also, get her in a tash and wig for some grudgefuckery maybe...everytime you guys win and City lose, get her in the scouse kit and a tash and make yourself feel better. Just an idea.

cheers

Don’t really know where to start my latest blog/flog after the whirlwind of the last few days in my football career.
I have never had a week like the last one and probably, hand on heart, never want one like this again.

Over the last week I have been approached to play for Liverpool Ladies in the Super League. I think most people would have said yes immediately but not me. For those of you that don’t know me, you will not be aware that I am currently playing at my beloved Manchester City. I have spent the last 3 years wearing the colours of the team that I have supported for the past 21 years and thought that I would end my playing days here, that was until last week.

I have been agonising over a decision which would either a) take me to playing at the highest level of football this country has ever seen for women or b) stay at City and compete for the Championship and promotion to the Premier League.

I have spent a week weighing up the pros and cons of both clubs, I have spent a week talking to numerous people, gaining their views on what I should do, I have spent a week not sleeping and I have spent a week with people telling me red is just not my colour, despite the Liverpool keeper's top being light grey. ;-)

If City were to be successful in gaining promotion this season, it would be the highest level the club has ever achieved and would probably be the first time a club from Manchester has played at that level. If I choose Liverpool I would be playing in a league that we have never seen the like of in this country before, with semi-professional players and finally a television audience.

On Saturday I made the decision that I would start the next adventure of my football career at Liverpool. I made this decision purely on the fact that it may never come around again for me with my 34th birthday fast approaching (1st April). I was aware that Manchester City wanted, if possible, to apply for Super League status in the next 2 years but I was not sure I would still be able to play at that time. I have played football for over 20 years and time does take its toil.

I also made the decision on the fact that I personally have wasted several years of not playing and not applying myself in the right way. I have let myself down on several occasions when I know in my heart I have should have played at a higher level far more than I have done. I can not say that I have not had the opportunity as I have played at Everton, Leeds United and Wales and I feel I have let myself down badly at all three. I have though, learned from my mistakes and as I have become more mature and settled in life I have become far more focused on my football. I’m hoping that Liverpool will give me that one last chance for me to prove to people that I am good enough and dedicated enough to compete at the highest level and I thank Liverpool for that opportunity.

As for City, I leave them in good hands. In the three seasons I have been there they have gone from strength to strength on and off the pitch. City Ladies are now able to train at decent times on Tuesdays and Thursdays instead of the graveyard shifts on Wednesdays and Fridays, have been fully backed by the club with training kits, exposure on the official site/Facebook, use of the regional athletics centre, which in my opinion has the best playing surface in women’s football and are coached to a high standard at all levels.

The special ingredient though that binds all this together are the dedicated and amazing people who give up their time for not one bit of thanks or money. These people are the unsung heroes and heartbeat of the club. They give their time for the love of the girls, the club and football. Without these people the club would fail. From washing the kits, to finding training venues in the snow, to arranging transport to games, all this work goes on behind the scenes, so that we the players can do the fun part, which is play games of football. I really am grateful to these people who carry out such thankless tasks.

I would like to thank my City family which includes, all the girls, Leigh Woods, Kevin Sims, Gary Moores, Dave Hindley, Trevor Lynch, Steve Everall, Paul McCoy, Joseph De Oliveira and last but not least Nikki 'Mrs Joe Hart' Taylor. Nikki gives her all for the club and is always on the look out for opportunities to promote the women’s team, from cook offs with Shay Given and Joe Hart, to flag waving on European nights. I leave the club with a heavy heart…..
