Bristol City Vixencast episodes

  • #1 25/26 Portsmouth (and a bit of Brum)

    D-M and Nat talk sparingly about the opening day blip at Birmingham; we mainly discuss our 2-0 victory over Portsmouth at a wet and windy RHPC.


    We reflect on an exciting performance from loanee Vera Jones and the squad mentality that will help us get promoted.

  • 25/26 - Season Preview!

    Reasons to be cheerful?

    Sophie Ingle? Vicky Losada? Charlotte Healy?

    There's that, and much, much more. The good times are BACK at Bristol City Women.

    With three promotion places up for grabs in 25/26 season, WSL 2 is drawing the big players in and we're reaping the benefits.

    Nat & D-M discuss the ins and outs, and reflect on a brilliant summer in the transfer market, and look forward to the season to come.

  • Barcelona Champions League Anniversary Special #2 - Nikki Watts
    10 years ago this November, Bristol Academy WFC beat Barcelona in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
    Bristol Academy - the Vixens - were established in 2005 and became founder members of the WSL in 2011.
    In the club's short history, we punched well above our weight: twice FA Cup finalists (2011 and 2013) and WSL runners-up in 2013.
    The Vixens also qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League twice. In 2011 we got knocked out in the first round. In 2014 Bristol Academy reached the quarter-finals, losing to eventual winners Frankfurt, but beating Barcelona along the way.
    That's right, Bristol Academy beat Barcelona!
    This special commemorative edition of the Bristol City Vixencast celebrates the 2014 Champions League cup run. Across two episodes, released on the anniversaries of the 1st and 2nd legs, we reflect on the significance of Academy's achievements - always the underdog, always fighting together, against the odds, to win a match no one thought we could.
    In this episode we talk with Nikki Watts, who held it together to score that penalty which won us the tie.
    These conversations are much more than a trip down memory lane, they are a refusal to forget the foundations of top-level women's football in Bristol.
    They are a refusal to forget when Bristol Academy beat Barcelona in the Champions League.

    Many thanks to Tash Harding and Nikki Watts for sharing their memories with us.
    Thanks also to Ed Hadwin and BBC Radio Bristol for allowing us to use the commentary from the match, which captures the electric atmosphere, euphoria and noise.
    Props also to Annie Heatherson, for some amazing co-comms.

  • S5 #14 Brighton & Hove Albion (H) & Leicester (A)

    Have we finally arrived in the WS Hell?

    After two absurd drubbings - 5-2 at Leicester and 3-7 at home, to Brighton & Hove Albion - it looks like the end of the top flight road for Bristol City Women. And it's only the start of March.

    Where do we go from here?

    Nat & D-M try to understand what happened in our last two league encounters. Not sure we get to the bottom of it!

    We also discuss the 'Future Indirect Fires Conference', which took place at Ashton Gate 5-6 March.

    Presence on the pitch
    Gum shields and biting
    Diversity and Inclusion

    Injury and recovery
    Furney Future

  • Season 5 #12 Aston Villa (A) - 03/02/24
    Layzell starts, Brooke is back for the second 45 Rachel Daly is in a strop.
    Bristol City Women claim a hard-earned and hugely entertaining point away at Aston Villa - what's not to like?
    D-M & Nat discuss City Women's battling, earn-your-luck draw, which saw formation changes and stellar full 90+5 performances from the whole team, with notable mentions to Thestrup, Yanez and that Carrie Jones worldie.

  • Season 5 #11 West Ham (H) - 28/01/24
    City lose at home (again!)
    This is getting frustrating...
    Despite the great atmosphere, despite 6,000 home supporters cheering our team on, City fell at the most cruel of hurdles against a match-smart West Ham, who lapped up the expansive Ashton Gate pitch, their win orchestrated by a majestic performance from the midfield dynamo, Katrina Gorry.
    Gutted.
    Two huge matches in January, two relegation six pointers, absolutely nil points to show for it.
    Where do we go from here?
    D-M and Nat explore our options as we stare down the barrel of another stern WSL test: Aston Villa, at the Poundland Bescot Stadium in Walsall, this coming Saturday.
    Oh, and happy birthday Shahan for Sunday!

  • Season 5 #10 Brighton & Hove Albion (A) - 21/01/24

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

    City Women lose on the road, that wasn't meant to happen! Foiled by a last minute Terland strike in an entertaining ding dong against a determined Brighton & Hove Albion side.

    Join us as we relive what was - nonetheless - a fun away day.

    D-M speaks with several City Women supporters (and one BHAWFC fan) about Saturday night transfer news dropping; Panini Stickers; everything that happened on a windy Sunday afternoon in Crawley, and the looming battle with West Ham.

    Thanks to everyone who contributed.
