    I think there would be more backlash if that was to happen, rather than the comment he made. I saw that hag on Twitter moaning about it, seemed there was more support for Souness in the comments and backfired on her.

    What a ridiculous tweet - slamming Souness for using the term 'man' when talking about 22 men on a football field.

    And I giggled at that last bit...

    A fuss about nothing, but sadly reflective of the world we live him. Good on him for not apologising, he has nothing to apolgise for.

    Wow. Could you be any more selective? The article makes clear that they were missing most of their best players, who were away on international duty. So it was basically Arsenal women's reserves That's a very big difference from the full England team, isn't it?

    You also neglect to mention that the Chelsea women's team beat the Chelsea Under 18 men's team.

    To me, it's stupid to compare the men's and women's games. The extra speed, height and physicality of men is always going to make it an uphill battle, however skilful the women might be, and there's no way they could compete over a season, rather than an isolated game. But using the Arsenal women's reserves to make a point about the full England team is disingenuous to say the least.

    Selective? The result happened, full grown women were beaten by kids. Its not the first time....

    Great result for Chelsea women beating the kids though. Kudos.

    Anyway, there is no comparison, we know that and my point still stands. Arsenal women arent England women but Chelsea U18s arent a L2 side. I just found it funny some folk thought England women would give City a game. 20-0 with ease.

    The table doesn't lie, England slightly dominated their WC qualifying group, after 10 games the campaign has finished with:
    W-10, D-0, L-0, F-80, A-0, Pts 30

    Not sure it should have shifted Homes Under The Hammer and Bargain Hunt off the schedule.

    I know it's not to everyone's liking but I've really enjoyed the few games I've watched, the girls certainly have talent.
    Today there were free kicks and corners and the vast majority were right in the danger area very few under/over hit corners, and there were a few tasty challenges.
    Yes I will be watching England lift the World Cup on Sunday morning.

    Women's football had a long way to come. I've not seen anyone pissed up with a flare up their arse.
    Amateurs.
