It's absolute nonsense comparing scoring records in the men's and women's game. You don't see people in tennis comparing the number of grand slams Serena Williams won to Nadal for example. Even the BBC were at it a while ago, saying a women's player had broken Jimmy Greaves' scoring record for England. Completely ignoring the fact that the England Women's team have scored 80 goals with none conceded in their World Cup qualifying group, including beating Latvia by a combined 30-0 home and away.
Its great the ladies team are helping build the fanbase, revenues, and appeal of the club - not sure if this is right but was told Lehmann's shirt is the 5th best selling at the club.Well done to the ladies and all concerned.

I really like watching the top level womens game as it has improved in quality immeasurably over recent years, but it is not comparable with the mens game and to think other wise is lunacy and is insulting to the womans game. They should be judged on their own merit
Carla Ward wins WSL Manager of the Month, fully deserved well done Carla.
She's doing OK.
Not a good look for Villa and particularly the FA. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11706813/Aston-Villa-coach-accused-sending-inappropriate-messages-young-female-players.html

As soon as they were informed he was suspended, the FA were informed and his previous club were alerted. What else can they do?
