I didn't even know they were in it!  Still, Congratulations.

I read that we will be in the second division of the Women's Super League next season, but Manchester City have been parachuted straight into the first division.  And Doncaster Belles have been relegated after only one game!

Bloody slow phone!

Had a bit of research and apparently Man City are going to end up in the top flight. Not exactly fair, but what would you expect from the FA?

Good news is from next season we could get promoted to the top flight if we win our league.

Well done, ladies! Sorry about the sexist comments here. (First man to say that normally wins their favour...)

I'm sure there is a joke about cup size, but i'm not making it.

How come we are in WSL 2?

Because we are only fourth in the current second tier and we aren't Man City.

You learn something new every day - and for me today, it's that Crackle is a surname. What a lovely name, Hayley Crackle. And that's a genuine comment btw.

I went to college with a girl called Crystal Haddock, which I always thought was a fantastic name. Years later, one of my ex-girlfriends was cousins with a Crystal Haddock, but having looked at her on the ex's Facebook page, she wasn't the same one. So there are, at least, two Crystal Haddocks in Birmingham, which I found amusing. My ex didn't though, I got in trouble as she thought I was taking the piss out of her cousin, which I wasn't, I was just admiring her name.

Crystal Haddock sounds like a really crap wedding present.

I was there!!!   Thanks to the numbskulls at the FA, they'd decided the venue for the League Cup Final would be York, which is only about 40 miles as the crow files from Leeds.  So, what was supposed to be a "neutral" venue ended up being like Elland Road...

What was impressive yesterday was that the girls played exceptionally well, held their nerve and showed real desire and commitment.  Megan Walsh the goalie had a blinder of a game and her saves kept us in the tie - Jade Richards one of our defenders also played outstandingly well.  Maybe we ought to swap them for Guzan and Bennett on Saturday in the hope that Villa might keep a clean sheet!

The penalties were nail-biting, but once again the girls held their nerve.  And Paul Lambert would do no harm in pointing that out to the men prior to Saturdays game.

The Ladies have developed, and I am confident this team will stick together, and we will be in the WSL Division 1 sooner rather than later....

Well done to the ladies and the next gen kids- marvellous achievements.

How frustrating we couldn't have added a league cup or fa cup to that from the senior side, to make it a likely unique villa treble

Congratulations. Hope they get the chance to show off the trophy next week, along with the Next Gen.

And the club have just announced both trophies will be shown at half time.
Just need a win and a last minute cameo from Petrov for the perfect day.
