  • Not fit for the modern game

    Suzy Wrack thinks Grace Geyoro is a striker in 2025 so that should tell you the level of expertise you’re dealing with here. They’re WSL cheerleaders and unable to discuss anything other than how great everyone is at everything.

  • 1966 Remains

    For 59 years, England’s men have humiliated themselves, their Queen and now King, and their people on the European and World pitches.

  • Enjoyable

    If you’re casting around for chat on women’s footie that actually has some depth - and isn’t just a readout of scores at the end of a men’s footie discussion - then this is for you.

    It would be interesting to get some overseas correspondents to update on the women’s leagues in places like Spain and the US once in a while.
