As I’ve mentioned to you a few times, I have made it a point to stay away from social media as much as possible. I only log on to twitter to post the link to these blogs as this is where most of my traffic comes from. However, I woke up this morning and something told me to check it before I posted and that’s when I found out about Sam Kerr and her ACL injury. Absolutely horrible news for her, for her team, for Australia, for her relationship with Emma Hayes and more.
I’ve been meaning to actually talk about Chelsea and why I dislike the club, but I haven’t and it’s worth mentioning that its 100% because of their men’s team and former owner. So to be honest, I actually do like Emma Hayes and Sam and many of the players that have caused me so much pain and suffering, and nobody has been more clinical and deadly against us than Sam, who has to be one of the best players ever surely.
So no, I’m not happy that she’s suffering and that Chelsea are not counting on her for the rest of the season. I wanted us to beat them to the title with full strength sides, always. Her absence will impact the WSL negatively, I’m afraid.
The other side of the coin, as far as how it affects us in a “good way” will be ignored out of respect for her at the moment.
We know how tough these situations are, more than anyone. So this is a perfect opportunity to be empathetic and show some support in any way we can, or at the very least not put out negative content.
The thing that stands out to me at the moment is how her and Emma Hayes played one of if not the last game together ever. Imagine being robbed out of a true farewell or an emotional last few matches under your coach and wanting to give her a send off in the best of ways but this is how it has to end?
Heartbreaking to say the least.
