I broached her move to Chelsea on Bits and Bobs earlier in the week.

And I was broadly familiar with the backstory.

I've been to a few Arsenal-Chelsea matches.

She's not afraid to give it to the Chelsea fans after Arsenal have scored a goal, for example.

But there have been more high-profile incidents.

She was keen to point out lifelong Chelsea fan.

Brother was a supporter.

Damien Duff starts to beat the band.

Very happy, seemingly, when she made the move.

And I was kind of...

espousing the notion that this has rubbed Arsenal fans up the wrong way I think it's safe to say and I put the blame on Arsenal Inc because club legend deserved more than the offer of a one-year contract would be my sense of it but she's pointedly by going to Chelsea and taking good terms in a three-year deal she probably could have made a less inflammatory move let's just say

Yeah, a few interesting things you touched on there.

One I was going to delve into or get your thoughts on was, so she's obviously made a fairly sideways move, two big clubs she's moving between.

So from her point of view, happy days, three years at Chelsea.

I mentioned I was at a few Arsenal games, my friend Anya Clerken, big Arsenal fan, goes regularly.

But she's an Arsenal fan because of Katie McCabe.

And there's plenty of football fans who support a men's team, X, Y and Z. But I support Arsenal because of Katie McCabe and the Irish links.

Is the Irish Arsenal support on the women's side entrenched enough that they'll stick with the club?

Yeah, it's not an uncommon thing to support players over teams in this day and age, especially in US sports, Will.

And this is my clunky segue into last night's match, where I'm sure Victor Wimbanyama, no matter where he ended up, was going to bring a raft of French and European basketball fans with him.
