I think it was the season that Viv and Joe Montemurro arrived that coincided with me figuring out that I could use the FA Player to see WSL games. I had caught some of the Euros that The Netherlands won, so was pretty pleased that Viv was joining. I had heard about the “Arsenal Ladies” since becoming an Arsenal supporter but hadn’t had a chance to follow with any regularity before then. Definitely sad news, IMO, to hear about her departure!

Not known publicly. The rumour is Man City, which would be suboptimal.

Well that was quite something

I left Spotify for similar reasons. I chose Tidal because comparatively more is paid to artists (still tiny amounts per play). Just like switching from anything (Reddit to Lemmy, PC to Mac, Coke to Pepsi, underwear to commando, iPhone to Android), there are differences to get used to but it’s not too bad. They do have curated playlists by editors, radio station based on your taste, “rising” track by genre etc. I think they have a free tier if you live in the US. but unfortunatley not yet available outwith.
