Hopefully the former rag coach has put people off signing for them.

It seems only three teams are arsed about giving their teams decent training and development facilities over ticking a box. It's no coincidence those teams will be ones constantly fighting for honours.

Brighton are moving their women's team into a newly constructed building at the training ground which will give the women exactly the same quality of facilities as the men. They are committed to women's football and it has begun to show in their improving results.

Leicester are also fully backing their women's team. They only took over the team last season but they promised to build a squad capable of challenging for the WSL title and have been good to their word so far. Promotion and a cup win vs United in their first season bodes well. I'm really looking forward to seeing them live up to their word.

Didn't see the final yesterday, but when I heard the score, I thought yes ha ha . But later felt a bit sorry for the Chelsea Women and realised it was the media and their arse kissing of Chelsea that had turned me against them , with all this "quadruple" stuff and making sound like it was in the bag .
Last week we had a outside chance of winning the league. It didn't happen, but I didn't heard one media outlet mention it , yet Monday morning BBC breakfast it was "Chelsea Champions pipping Man City" !

I didn't hear, or read, a single report about the final day of the WSL season which did not mention that City could win the league.

The Beeb don't need MI5 to give them the results - they were on the FA website and Sky - they just don't care and can't be arsed - its poor and shows a complete lack of respect. Typical BBC good at pointing the finger at others but don't keep their own house in good order.

Well I'm glad we agree that bias plays no part in this. It is a failing and one they should fix, whatever the reason for the current situation. As for the BBC pointing the finger at other people, I've no idea what you're talking about. I'm just here for the football.

She did. Two and a half years. If the player wants the go home it may be better to let her go so we can rebuild.

I’m starting to understand why Chelsea didn’t sign any Americans.

Agree there is no point in keeping an unhappy player. It is a pity if she hasn't settled though. The lack of Americans doesn't appear to have done Chelsea any harm, will be an interesting summer for both men and women's teams.

Well mate I must of missed them , because I didn't hear anything about City having a outside chance of winning the league in the build up to the final Sunday of the league ?

There seemed to be some kind of question mark re the three American girls towards the end of the season. Rose barely made a start, and Sam 'n Abby, clear starters in my book, we benched. Mmmmmmm! Summat gone on?

Could be.


They might be used to a higher standard than the ESL currently gives.

I think the club should be looking at the US and the big European leagues at ways of improving and adapting the game in the UK.

I really want it to succeed in its own right.

If we are not careful the women's game, media-wise, will go the same way as the men's - only certain clubs will get the coverage, and it's important not just to have a women's league but to see it develop, and not just in the clubs favoured by the RDAHMeedya.

100% this.

A competitive league with home nation's talent coming through will increase the competition internationally as well.

Thanks for the reply Kev

I take your word about what you did and didn't hear but you must have plugged into different media outlets than I did. I've become a big fan of the women's game as a whole and, as such, consume a lot of relevant output from mainstream and fan based sources. Among many others, I follow the channel 'Sarah & Sara' produced by a couple of Americans who seem to be as focused on the players' personal lives as they are on the football. Even they spoke of City's chances and, for the sake of Rose and Sam, they hoped City would make it.

Now, to be fair, I didn't come across anyone who actually thought Manchester City would overturn Chelsea's lead because everyone was convinced that Chelsea would beat Reading. Every media that I read, watched, or listened to did discuss the possibility of a City triumph however. I don't see how any report could have done otherwise.

True none of know what happens in training, but when Rose Lavelle is still good enough for the American team yet can only make the bench at City , people will ask questions.

It does seem a bit of a mystery.

I haven’t seen enough of Rose to make a judgment, but that’s probably because she doesn’t start many games for us.
