You don’t go to the Bernabeu and fuck about

The women’s game was effectively strangled by the FA after WWI which is why women’s football in England is only just catching up with other countries, notably Italy and the USA. Tbh, I just want that artificially imposed imbalance to be corrected so that girls and women have the same sporting opportunities as boys and men

Athletics in general bridges the divide. Swimming? You’re right, it is an odd one though. I just look at skill and athletic performance tbh and I can’t imagine getting more from a son playing a sport than a daughter

Just watching Arsenal v Spurs in the WSL and wondering how many of their players could tempted by the prospect of playing in front of bigger crowds

Meanwhile, the Sky MNF offering is a meaningless mid-table fixture

We don’t generally move the ball quickly as a team. I don’t mind that as it’s been safe and sound since November and it’s worked. Next season everyone needs to up their game and, in a team that passes and receives more quickly, ASM can flourish

It’s really odd that clubs in lower divisions are apparently seen as deserving of support without any examination into how they are managed. Why should a well-run Brentford, say, be effectively taxed into supporting a badly run club lower down even though it is innovative and careful husbandry that has got Brentford to where they are and they need to maximise their revenue to stay there, not transfer funds to a basket case lower down. Is there any detail at all as to how the proposals would have prevented Bury going to the wall, it all seems to be the pitches at the local rec are crap so Premier League clubs need to give more money to Sunderland or Burton or whatever other failing club I do agree that parachute payments are ridiculous mind if the £100m Fulham wage bill story is true

This game can’t be viewed in a vacuum. Richarlison should have gone and would be missing for three games but, hey, it’s the Merseyside derby so should be refereed differently. Bollocks. If I were a Burnley fan, I’d be fuming

Eddie is busy, watching Liverpool v Everton, making notes and hatching plans

I think that he might be the most rounded and accomplished player that I’ve seen play for us. There have been faster players, better dribblers but his passing, ball-retention and tackling are incredible. And in a league that’s new to him and a team that’s not great

Henderson’s replacement

Lacerating

By sensibly spending the money earned by Littlewood’s Pools and Retail Empire on winning at football

I am now transitioning from ‘we are shite all of the time’ to ‘we have players that can win a match in a moment’ and enjoying it

Wow

This is supine

What happened to the four other games?

If I were the Mackems I’d be all over him, massive promotion bonuses, whatever it took

Agree

ASM has been dreadful

Me neither

I mean folks are entitled to demonstrate but this became ridiculous because no fucker seemed to have a clue that it might happen. Win for the demonstration I think

We need to be more confident that we are a class or two above these then passes and chances will follow

You see the war as an ‘event’? Interesting take

He went not long after the Salisbury poisonings and the shooting down of MH17 during the continuing suppression of human rights and in particular political opposition by the Putin regime; he is a top notch hypocrite but England actually played the tournament and many of his arguments are correct
