Thanks Thomas, good comment 👏🏻

Ahh welcome Jessica. Thank you!

Mum, is that you? X

No, you!

@@shebahn you are the best

It’s what we do Steve x

🥰

Totally x

they will get kicked out, same thing happened to Barça last season when they fielded a suspended player (Geyse), although the circumstances were much more understandable. Which means Sunderland go through, despite losing 7-0!

It’s a shame but also kinda comical that they didn’t consider it at all. Mostly tough for Maritz cuz it’s not her fault but she’s the face of the mistake

​@@jibbyjabster6364 I'm not sure that Maritz gets a free pass here. She knew that she had already appeared for Arsenal in the competition. It's not like she only played once - it was several times. There is no way that you wouldn't mention that as a player. Fielding a cup-tied Maritz was done intentionally by Carla Ward. It is completely impossible that something like this happens as the result of an admin error. That just doesn't happen, even at lower levels. At any rate Carla did exactly the same thing when she was at Birmingham (ironically with Ruesha). No one makes this kind of supposed 'admin error' twice. She gambled that there would be no real serious consequences and she was right. The fact that Villa are still waved through to the next round regardless sends a terrible message to others thinking of doing the same. Teams could easily take advantage of this absence of serious punishment to manipulate results in other groups if they wanted to. It's a farcical situation. Villa have essentially cheated and they go unpunished into the next stage. Maritz would have known full well what Carla was doing and she went along with it too. She had numerous opportunities to speak up. It makes a mockery of the competition and it's completely unfair, not to mention we now have a team thrashed 7-0 going through undeservedly to the next round of the competition. At the end of the day Sunderland and Villa will likely both be eliminated relatively quickly, but the entire incident has cast a bit of a shadow over proceedings. The insane thing is that Villa did not even need to do it. They had the easiest group by far with all Championship teams. They were always going to win the group, even with a skeleton squad. Madness.

I wish it good be leicester but off course not going to be

Arsenal fingers crossed x

I think Chelsea will do it again

I hope City win it ! Jill Roord will be a big miss
