Great summary of the season Lastfootstamper.  Hopefully, even bigger and even better next season with Carla Ward signing a contract extension today.  Push that top four next season if Carla can bring the right players in.

Really enjoyed that game, despite the idiot commentator doing his best to ruin it. The highlight for me was him using injuries as an excuse for Arsenal before remembering Villa only had two outfielders on the bench.

Fantastic result to cap a great season. Definite progress and some great football being played.

Proud of them.

And it's all over, 2-0. A season that started with a win over man city, quarter final in the Conti Cup, semi final of the FA Cup, winning half of our league games, spearheaded by the first Englishwoman to score over twenty league goals and equalling the all-time WSL record, and finishing with a first ever win over arsenal, all completed by a small group of players who've left nothing on the pitch since that opening game, watched by ever increasing crowds, 6k+ at Walsall, 7k+ at VP (for context, arsenal are the most successful ever English club, yet there was only 4k there today, with what sounded like a fair few Villa).

I will be getting a season ticket.

Great summary, and why Carla Ward deserves to win manager of the season

Rachel Daly, Golden Boot winner, I believe

I really hope the club back her in the summer and get a squad worthy of the name together.

BBC Article on Daly.

Great read.
I think she certainly benefited from playing in the USA, as women’s football is/was probably a better level than Europe, although the gap is definitely closer now.

Read that Hannah is likely off as her contract is up and we are looking for a replacement.

Well done to Rachel, Hannah and Jordan.
The story of Jordan is a good example for all footballers. She was sitting on the bench at Arsenal going nowhere but decided to opt for regular football by joining us and now she has made it into the WC squad. Some male footballers need to take heed.

Except the men's team don't have an experienced and successful international manager picking the squad!

True, though only to an extent as (sadly) with the men's team the England Head Coach keeps picking players who do have splinters in their arse.

Well done to the 3 ladies, the big question is where is Rachel gonna play, her usual left back role with England or as a striker. Carla Ward has said it should be as a striker, hopefully Sarina Wiegman will agree with her.

That’s a shame, she’s actually a good keeper
