I have great affection for Steph for everything that she has done for us but i am sad to say i think her time is over now, she is just not good enough anymore to be a starter. Sarina was spot on when she left her out of the England squad, and she got pelters for that decision by some city fans. Football is not a place for sentiment.
 
Watching Everton Women :0 Leicester City Women :0 on FA Player. 60 minutes of really poor quality football so far. The real test for the WSL is to somehow convince viewers that this is a quality product worth watching. Jess Park looks far too lightweight and easily bullied off the ball.
 
Jess Park substituted on 69 minutes. Poor game and needs a serious haircut. Half of her weight must be her hair!!
I’ve had enough of this. Good night Bluemooners.

It was absolutely disgusting and happened more than once. No comment from the BBC!!
Paul Konchesky is an ignorant chav…probably played for the Dippers at some point in his not very illustrious career.
 
Just caught up with the final score of that Everton v Leicester “borefest” and it ended 1:0 to Everton.
Look at the winning goal on FA Player and convince me that the WSL is the “strongest in Europe “.
BBC/SKY investing £24m on this. Marketing the WSL as if it’s really exciting and any number of teams could win the league.
I want womens football to succeed but there are so many Everton v Leicester type matches - boring, lacking quality and basic skills, ridiculous errors, hopeless goalkeepers and strikers who can’t get a shot on target.
Makes you realise just how good a coach Emma Hayes is. Her Chelsea team have set the standard. They would never lose to Aston Villa 4:3 or play Fran Kirby at fullback. I know a man that would though..

Err 'they would never lose to Aston Villa 4:3'.
No, they lost 2-1 to newly promoted Liverpool, who were then battered 3-0 by Everton!

We should've been a couple up at Chelsea at HT but went in a goal down!
Agree with the rest though, she wouldn't play key players out of position.

I like your posts generally, but i have to take some issue with a lot of these points.

1. There are shitloads of crap and boring matches in the men's Premier League, which is suggested as the best in the world. It's certainly the most watched, despite some crap matches. It's the big matches that sell it, not Bournemouth v Brentford - just as Everton v West Ham matters less in the WSL. Yes, some of these sides need to improve, but the results on the first weekend showed that they can sometimes beat the big teams.

2. Chelsea lost at Liverpool, which is probably a worse result than losing at Villa.

3. Stanway only ever got played at fullback when we didn't have a fullback available. Someone had to play there. (Actually thought Janine Beckie was far better there though when she got put there.). Maybe Kirby wouldn't play at fullback, but Stanway's skills do suit it more than her, and even Emma Hayes would have to play somebody out of position there if there were a lot of injuries.

Other than that, I'm with you... ;-)

Christ, this Leeds v Villa is a good example today. Its like going back to around 1992, to watch a match that was shite even back then.
 
Hey guys,

I am a Master's student at the University of Brighton from South Korea. Being female fan myself, through my thesis research I want to find out what can enable more male fans to live, breathe and sleep the women's games as much as you do for the men's games. I would really appreciate your quick minutes into the survey I designed for the research I am conducting.

Thank you guys Xx
 
Sky sports backing the women's game by not even acknowledging the game is taking place on their scores app, got the Hungarian and polish games all covered though.
