I'd just like to say what a great player I think Ciara and I think she's one of Arsenal Ladies unsung hero's

The games I saw last season she played in them all and made a great contribution she put a lovely ball through at the notts forrest game for one of the goals

Haha I knew you'd start a thread like that

Me & ByrneFan had a chat about Ciara via email
- how great and underrated she seems to be.

I personally rate her a lot - she's been great in the Arsenal defence,
she seems more responsible and calm than Faye White
who used to play on Ciara's position before the injury.
A solid brickwall along with Mary Phillip Keep it up girl and never leave us!

Ciara is also very nice and polite off the pitch
- like most of Arsenal Superladies

Ciara seems to improve all the time

Chatterbox has spoken
Wanna tell us how she has improved -- in your eyes?

Arsenal fans:
Do you consider her a legend?
Would you prefer her to Faye White? (imagining them both fully fit and on top form)

I do consider her a legend. She's been in Arsenal for ages
- working hard on and off the pitch. I hope she never leaves.

Her and Faye have a different style - Faye is an "attacking defener"
Causes a lot of fuss and trouble - not always a good thing.
Ciara is more stable and consistant. More calm on the ball

So who would would prefer then; Ciara because she's more calm?

Ciara because I trust her more.
With Faye you never know...

Fair enough

Hoi Agent S - I remember you telling me that Ciara wasn't at her best when I started going to games - but she certainly improved, and has been excellent for ages

I was concerned when she was down in the penalty area within the first 5-10 minutes of the UEFA Cup final as she doesn't go down easy.

Hoi is Dutch for hello, so hello to you too

Ciara had a very short moment in the 2005/2006 season
when I wasn't too fond of her game but she sure improved a lot
and I'm a big fan now.

I asked YOU though -- how she improved in YOUR eyes,
not what I said to you about her

She was fantastic last season, calm collected a cool head when needed.
Saying that I guess she won't get many games next season

Ciara had a great season , finally showing us what she can do. But I gotta agree with Shlj , I think she gonna spend most of time on the bench , and that will be a shame. I would prefer to see her in the defence rather than Faye.

I think she will go back to midfield next season and the 3 slots are taken by Jayne Katie and Kelly and also Anita might in front of her in the pecking order as well.
Shame as both of them had a wonderful season.

Faye may play in mid field a bit as she did towards the end of the season I'd like to see ciara in defence as she is calm

I thought Ciara had a cracking game in the UEFA Cup Final second leg.

An Umea player had the ball on the edge of the area and fired a shot in, then 'BAM!' it rebounds of Ciara and then another shot and then 'BAM!' off Ciara again...it was funny!

A real brick at the back though and she clears the ball well and is a clean distributer too

A good player and kind off the pitch

*thumps up*

She is kind I wrote to her and she signed my pic and got Ludlow to and I didn't ask her to and also she sent me a letter team poster signed and team photocard.

Daymn!!!I REALLY like that! but id prefer a Smith one with a
England badge & shirt on

Thats pucker!!!!!!!!! 10/10!

My-oh-my...that is amazing! I love the big pic of her and then the small one of the Irish contingent

I like the text too

One thing is the cutting on Ciara's arm in the pic in the bottom right hand corner, apart from that it's excellent

You're so picky! Can't do much about it, so I hope this looks a bit better:

I know, I'm hard to please but nothing's impossible!

Yeah that's fine

Congratulations! You have successfully made justme! content.

That's lovely of her. I've a pic of her and Jayne and she looks like she'd been crying.

Wow thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you like it so much

BFan, why don't you post the pic of J&C?
