4th straight WSL for Chelsea, look forward to seeing the media reports on how it’s not healthy for the WSL

At least the rags didn't win the league.

They’ve had a much better season than us. We need to address this NOW.

Wonder if she is pissed off with her playing time under Taylor ?

Shame. Not a surprise though. No point warming your backside in the bench, not really been given much of a chance.

It will be about how unlucky the Raggettes were.

Would always be playing 2nd fiddle to Hemp & Kelly so no surprise that Raso is going. Should have been announced before the game so the fans could say goodbye.

I've read the Beeb account of the game and the report on the OS and I'm wondering whether all three of us saw the same fixture. The first half had everything except any kind of spectacle or what could have passed for entertainment. The cheeriest aspect of the first 45 mins was that Chelsea had scored.

It picked up in the second half and suggested to my neighbour that if we were to win this half 11-0 we'd nick the last CL place as the Arse were losing 0-2. And at 3-0 for City it wasn't beyond a possibility and then we did what we seem to have done for most of the season with the sackful of chances - missed 'em. In the first half, when the shot count had reached five we still hadn't had one on target.

I can't think of another team in the WSL who can generate and process the ball quicker from the opponent's penalty area to our own.

I think we were fortunate that EFC didn't get the penalty in the first half. The ball bounced up and ended up on a City foot after having hit a City hand. Add the two goals EFC scored and we could have had a 3-3 draw to finish with.

This game was the perfect metaphor for our season - very nearly but not quite!

The upside for next season is that we aren't gonna be knocked out of the CL by the eventual winners.

We have three very highly rated keepers…..great goal from Lauren Hemp. If you took Lauren and Chloe out of the team we’d have as much threat as Reading Women.

Absolutely! We need a more direct midfield and we need to feed the ball more quickly from the back to the midfield and onto the forwards. Every other top, or Tom-Dick-'n'Arry team manage to do it. I've seen even the no-hopers this season be more direct at getting forward than we have been!

Perfect end to the season. Almost but no banana. Krap.
