46 year old lifelong man city fan here. I started watching the women's side last season. This season they're the only man city side I watch. Yui is a wizard

[@mcr4583]

Yui is such a great player, thankful she’s in the City side

[@3littlebirdss]

This Sam Mewis interview with Bunny was impeccable. Sam was prepared, respectful and gracious. I hope her podcast grows. Bunny Shaw has become one of my favorite person to follow since 2018. She’s a beacon of hope in sports in Jamaica and a living legend.

[@applemnster6309]

This is an incredible interview. Bunny’s stories are so captivating and her journey is unique. From guarding the goal in front of the gate to her family’s home, befriending Jamaican track stars in college, to rejecting the NWSL draft, scootering around in Bordeaux, to being friends with Raheem Sterling at Man City….what an incredible number of stories and diverse experiences!!! Well done and thank you Bunny and Sam

[@caveatlector1591]

This is the most fun Bunny Shaw interview I've seen. Man City media team take notes!

[@Brownie2102]

Bunny Shaw is one of the best strikers in the world, if not the best. Absolute legend. Great interview by the way

[@RobinPalmerTV]

She's just incredible. Would absolutely go to a city match to watch her, Kelly, Hempo and Keating. She makes it look so easy. Really hope the broken foot heals!

[@magilu11]

Amazing interview. Bunny is so generous with her stories, no wonder she scores so much, she's a giver. 💝

[@applemnster6309]

That’s exactly it! She is so generous with her stories and her words!!

[@Ane7788]

I recently started watching the WSL and I fell in love with this man city team instantly because of the players. I get so excited everytime I get to watch Bunny play. Such a great interview and inspiring story!

[@alexiarowe6121]

seeing a jamaican at this level is just so motivational, all love for bunny my hero frl

[@emceethatsme]

Anyone else now want to hang out with Bunny Shaw? She is a kick and now my favorite player. Yes, she is an amazing footballer but her personality is infectious!

[@beggyberry]

Another great interview Sam! I love watching Bunny play but had never seen an interview with her. I love that you’re interviewing players from different leagues and countries. It’s been fun to get to know the players in a more personal way thanks to you.

[@01FozzyS]

I don't know much about Bunny but that was a captivating and entertaining interview,Sam! Well done!

[@ckmeh9974]

Bunny is a baller. Her finishing is crazy

[@krisjohnson-proctor355]

Honestly, BEST INTERVIEW EVER!! 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️. Omg, how AMAZING and cute is Bunny, not to mention sooo articulate and insightful. She is a breath of fresh air..i’m Soo gutted for her, and (as an Avid City fan 🩵) for me, re her injury. Hope she gets back to full fitness in as unproblematic way as is possible 🙏 .

[@beyondthepage9389]

I've seen a few of Sam Mewis's interviews and I have to agree this Bunny Shaw interview was the absolute best.

[@Catburys]

bunny is super entertaining and a great storyteller, loved this

[@nellep303]

So grateful for the genuine conversation! ❤

[@machellovelivelife658]

dats right!!! drop motto!! "likkle but tallawah" Little but strong. (for those who aren't Jamaican, that's the literal translation)

[@Jay85_38]

This is the first interview I’m seeing with Bunny…and I love it 🖤. Bunny is amazing!!

[@skibrat]

Incredible interview. Thank you Sam!!! I am thrilled to be able to so easily find good quality content on women in sport.

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Sam. I have commented elsewhere on how well Hemp and Kelly have really terrified defences earlier in the season, but without a striker like Bunny on the end of things, it would not have been half as good. I hope she gets well soon. With help from a player the Aussies seem to love, Mary Fowler and Kelly coming back into the team, they can still make it an exciting end to the season for Bunny and us too, no doubt. They just need plenty of carrots, maybe steamed and served with a bit of fresh made butter? It would be interesting to see them play against European opponents, next season, with the style of play discussed, though Kelly and Hemp are reported to be on the menu for other European teams. I wonder if talk about Ewa Pajor is instead or in addition to Barcelona wanting Hemp. I joked on a Barcelona video comments, that they wanted Hemp, so another Jamaican, Usain Bolt, would wear their shirt.

[@shareebetts3822]

OMG what a great interview Sam . What an amazing player this young woman is. Well done Sam you are a great interviewer you are. 😊

[@4dtroy]

Nice interview Sammy. Bunny Shaw is a character! Love her vibe and her energy!

[@michaelnoller9063]

What a great interview. Bunny is an interesting person with a good story.

[@latoyahamilton]

We likkle but we tallawah! The Jamaica’s Women National Team is the reason I STAN with women’s soccer, NWSL and all! 🇯🇲✨🤎

[@williamstearns6687]

Seriously brilliant! Love that woman, grew up in Bermuda so definitely can understand the problems for teams in CONCACAF. Great interview Sam, as usual.

[@carr5629]

Bunny is so fun! So natural in this interview, I love it!

[@richards.hawkins]

It's "SHAWTIME"! Love to watch "SHAWTIME" whether it's on the field or on your show. She is a proper Star! I dream that one day I'll get to see Bunny Shaw and Jayden Shaw play together on the same team...a guy can dream...

[@cwilkins8]

Fantastic interview, wish you could of spoke about post World Cup and what’s happening with the Jamaica squad

[@Lovelly2259]

Omg what a interview bunny is such a great person to listen too her stories are great love watching her games at man city job well done ❤

[@RJ420NL]

Thanks for posting this interview. I was cheering for the Reggae Girlz during the World Cup; they were so much fun to watch. I hope Ms Shaw has a full and speedy recovery. Sam, try to break away from your notes. It makes you look less genuine, like someone gave you a list of things to say.

[@beyondthepage9389]

I agree, Sam does need to get the notes side of things sorted (like Alex Scott) because I tend to notice her referring to her notes every time I watch one of her interviews.

[@kizzyfarrell6156]

The amazing bunny shaw what a talented player 👏 🙌 👌

[@katehouston2000]

Brilliant interview.

[@MsShavone21]

Such a great interview!

[@Shdoeb]

I've never watched Bunny or knew much about her because I haven't started watching games/teams outside of the NWSL (yet!!). But wow she's amazing! I loved this interview. Bunny is so fun to listen to. I hope her path to recovery is as smooth as possible. Sending her the best vibes!!

[@summerscott9431]

Such a good interview! Would love to see an interview with Jen Beattie. She's talked a little on the podcast with she helps host with Sky sports about her transition to the nwsl and would love to hear her be able to talk in much longer interviewer formate.

[@brenrod73]

Omg Bunny Shaw!!!! Yessss!!!! Healing vibes to her for sure. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[@sosickafamily2327]
