Could a woman hypothetically play in the PL?

Absolutely if they have the desired skill level and physicality needed to make it.

The issue is 99.9% of professional men are unable to achieve that so it’s always going to be out of reach imo.

If you listen to what he said before and after, he clearly meant it's a man's game as in men and boys.

I want trying to make a case for it, just wondered if it was allowed.

Hes on with Simon Jordan on talksport tomorrow, no chance will he apologise.

Good. The ease with with people apologise these days when they’ve caused offence is part of the problem.

What club or manager would turn down a player who was good enough?

You wouldn’t do so based on sexuality so don’t see any issue with gender.

The issue is they will never be up to the physicality of the mens game and probably wouldn’t ever match the skill level either.

That’s not a slight as I pointed out it’s the same for the vast majority of players out there.

Like the fact that Souness talked about it being a “man’s game” in a match where one of the main talking points was a player pulling another player’s hair.

Sure, but there might be a rule that stops it, even if they wanted to.

If there was I think in this day and age it would be changed.
