i really do hope azzi's back real soon (fingers crossed for thursday) but at the end of the day, seeing her in good spirits helps calm my worries.

she'll be back when she (and her knee) is ready, and imma patiently wait for whenever that may be and will try stop worrying so much in the meantime haha

we all be worrying cause we got some trauma 😭 always watching the games but dog im miss her on that court

she’s so smiley today though!

the crop does something to me

Someone may have asked this before already so i apologize if I've missed it, but how and when did you become an Azzi/Paige fan? I'm always curious about how people end up in their respective sports fandoms!

im a big women's football fan, and made a bunch of moots from that. my friends and mutuals online became fans of the wnba and would edit them sometimes, so I was definitely familiar with some names (like paige and azzi), thus making me a casual fan and watcher of 535 since 2023, but never got properly invested in their game nor their respective fanbases until ~april 2025 because a friend of mine joked about how “paige is gonna be in the trenches” for her rookie season, so I got curious and started following her & her game more closely (I also saw like a million sad edits of paige leaving uconn). I also liked napheesa collier at the time cause I liked her game, so naturally I had a uconn bias, which eventually made me really love azzi fudd too. although I got into paiges game first, I would definitely consider myself a 535 fan with no bias lol, I love them both 😭

haha yeah was talking about the men's! agreed with all that, def want us to retain the title, i want dominance, i want a dynasty! but yeah saliba being out is def a lil worrying so hopefully we can manage to hold it down until he returns (whenever that may be). i will say, out of all sports i follow, soccer/football has fallen a bit to the periphery for me, though arsenal will always be near and dear to my heart, so i might come back here often throughout to ask for your thoughts on how the season's going haha

no me too sadly, I still follow it ofc, whatever the weather, but I do feel like ive become more invested in other sports since mid 2025. arsenal always in my blood 🤞

excited to hear your thoughts !! :)

[studfudd]

A fellow Gooner! How are you feeling about our upcoming season? We going back-to-back? 👀

ive been missing watching football so im really excited !! my prediction for top 4 epl table are arsenal, city, man utd, liverpool. also saliba & timber are injured rn with no definite date for return so that’s gotta be worrying. I want them to win the quad but that’s honestly unlikely, but I’ll be satisfied with them retaining their epl title + 1+ runner ups. I think our squad is good, but I think there’s heavy reliance on rice for midfield and saliba for defence which is again worrying because saliba is out rn. Overall I think it’ll be a good season !!

sorry if you were talking about the women’s squad lol but I assumed you were talking about the men’s since awfc didn’t win the wsl this year 😭

[studfudd]

I already knew she was gonna be out for tomorrow but never makes it hurt less when i see her on the injury report 🥺

Looks like she was getting treatment during practice (based on that one pic), i really hope there’s no more setbacks and she can be finally be out there on Thursday otherwise imma cry fr 😭😭 I miss ya Fudd, heal up 35 🫶

missing fudd hoops badddd + I’ll be real worried if she ain’t back by sunday

[azzibuckets]

i’m so normal about her back

also homie lost her breath for a sec watching azzi there😭😭

[studfudd]

never getting over her draft fit(s)

Imma assume people just read the underdog tweet without actually reading Christan's tweet 😂

and your assumption would be correct, I am guilty of this lol

[studfudd]

nah jose didn't say that, idk if people read the actual quote christan put out or just went off underdog's poor comprehension skills???? 😭

there was nothing in the quote that implied azzi would be out for at least another week. the only reason she might be out another week is if they decide not to play her against gsv, meaning that the next opportunity she would have to play isn't until thursday (which was about a week from when the quote was put out).

so essentially if she doesn't play monday then yeah she's obviously out for another week because that's the length in between when the quote was put out and the following home game lol. christan even clarified this cause for some reason people can't read the quote properly?? 😂

there's been no actual designation made about her availability on monday, but anon's right, they probably will just opt to save her for the home stretch beginning on thursday.

it's just funny cause i saw the quote from christan first and then i saw the tweet underdog put out about how azzi is "expected to be out for at least one more week" and i got so confused about how underdog arrived at that conclusion because i thought the quote was pretty damn straightforward lmao.

oops my bad 😭 I did in fact only read the (extremely summarised) underdog tweet

[studfudd]

Watch Steph finally pull up to a game on Monday and Azzi likely won't even be playing 😭😭

I do think there's a slight chance she plays on Monday but I think it's more likely that they just sit her out one more time and then have her play for the 4-game home stretch before the FIBA break (just makes the most sense but hopefully i'm wrong and we do see her out there on Monday).

pretty sure jose said that azzi is expected to be out for at least another week 😭

edit : nope i was wrong lol

[studfudd]

ayyy you're aussie? shoutout other aussie anon too who watches afl!

sidenote: thank god my afl team is fucking fantastic this year, cause the sports gods knew i couldn't possibly handle being a wings fan and having a shit footy team at the same time. like that shit would have broken my spirit fr 😭

yep! I thought it was like a dead giveaway cause I adopt so much british slang (which I’ve been told is ‘very australian’ to do 😭

also HAHAHA I’m glad your afl team is doing good! thanking the sports gods that at least my prem league team won the league this year 😛 wings better pick up the pace fr

[studfudd]

man why is dallas an actual mess in the fourth quarter im pissed

TRANS PEOPLE BELONG IN SPORTS. TRANS PEOPLE BELONG.

[studfudd]

i know ppl are really starting to stress about azzi and her knee rn, and that's understandable. but again, similar to what another anon said, i think we gotta look at it from a "weeks" pov rather than a "games" pov.

there's times you just need a week or even two to really get your body right again if you've just experienced so much heavy load, especially with her injury history. like, i've seen pro athletes have soreness and be out for 2 weeks - it just isn't as big a deal because they happen to be in sports where they only play 2 games in 2 weeks.

i think part of it is ppl want more transparency from the wings on what exactly the injury is etc, but i think it's a little bit of reading between the lines too and just taking what we see at face value. she's been practising, she seems pretty happy?, she's going on flights (which as we all know wouldn't be advisable if there's swelling or build-up of fluids), and jose's already said she's in "return to play" protocols (wtv that means obvs lol).

look, if she's out for longer than 2 weeks i.e. she's not playing by Thursday next week against Indy, then yeah i think we are well within our rights to officially be worried. but until then, let's all take a deep breath. i know we all miss seeing her play, but her health comes first and if that means having to take an overly cautious approach then i'd rather that than risk anything worse!

yeah for sure !! keeping a positive mindset

I will be worried if she’s ruled out against like the sun though 🥹
