Looks quite a tidy player. I'm a big fan of Arthur, was definitely a quality signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 A lot of positives to take. Not many better teams than Man City in the league. Rubbish first 20 mins then very competitive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would U-15 teams really beat the best female national sides every single time? I find that unbelievable. Unless you've seen Male Pro Academy football then you have no basis for comparison. I have for many years. Many of the lads coming through Pro Clubs at 15-16 are blokes when it comes to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimski Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Pleasantly surprised at full time. Second half was so much better, and we had a clear goal disallowed. I'm quite excited to see how the rest of the season plays out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I enjoyed that, we played well on the day and contained Man City for much of the match, even though the match was over in the first half. I eagerly await the next match 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) I watched the whole game live on YouTube, that was a nice surprise. I was most impressed by Petzelberger, Arthur and Silva. Larsen took her goal well, what a shame it was wrongly disallowed. As for the goals conceded, maybe it was mainly due to nerves. Rogers was partly at fault for the second (for playing such a dangerous pass to poor Ewers, a pass that just wasn't on) but perhaps also for the first too, if she gave Haigh a shout to leave it. Otherwise why else would Haigh have let it run through her legs like that? It's a pity, she was a great keeper last season (I think she won Championship goalkeeper of the season) and did very well in the second half today too.

Sort it out Villa. I also noticed the trinity road balcony covered up with Cazoo advertising. How very Doug Ellis in the 1980s. The balcony colours are one of the quirky features of our ground and personally I dislike seeing them covered up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Males have genetic advantages that women cannot overcome. We should only be benchmarking in a like for like basis. Our team played one of the best teams in the World yesterday and performed very well. Much to be positive about. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not been paying attention to the equal pay conversation happening in athletics? Also who is saying Serena doesn’t deserve her titles/ sponsorships? Not to the same extent. You don't hear much about women not running the 100m as fast as men/jumping as high as much as women can't play football as an U15's boys team can beat them. Whenever women's football is on tv or Villa (as an examples) men's account tweets about the women team, its full of comments saying it's rubbish, worse then kids etc etc. The women's US team (who actually produce more revenue than the mens team) were slaughtered when they tried to demand equal pay. Women's football gets more c**p about it than any other sport. That's why i mentioned Serena. No one would say she didn't deserve what she had, despite the fact a lot of male players would beat her, which seems to be the argument over women football (men are better at the sport than women). And no , i would never expect women to get paid £35k a week with where their game is at the moment but the point stands, doesn't matter if a U15 team would beat them or not....they are not competing against men 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Away at Reading tomorrow. Will be a test to see if they are ready as Reading are probably likely to be one of the other teams at the bottom of the league. Arsenal put 9 past West Ham today. There is a huge gulf in quality in the league between the top few teams and the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
