Quite right.  We may well have won the World Cup had the manager deployed her properly.
Well done Rachel. 

[nigel]

Thoroughly deserved, brilliant season.
Well done Rachel

[andyh]

Well done our Rach !!!!

[Lastfootstamper]

I'm so happy about that. She's a brilliant player, so brave, fearless. Go on, Rach. I'd love to see her lift a trophy with us.

We have not one, but two players amongst the 30 nominees for the Ballon d'Or. Both our spectacular centre-forward/leftback and our spectacularly named new goalkeeper have made the shortlist. I doubt either will win, but it's good to see the level we're now operating at.

Let's hope she's as good as the last striker we got from Dash. Welcome back.

I hope she comes on leaps and bounds

She's a cracking player and will give us some extra pace up front.

Aston Villa Women are pleased to announce the signing of Adriana Leon from Manchester United.

The Canadian international joins on a two-year deal and becomes Carla Ward's sixth summer signing.

Leon, 30, joins having had previous spells in England with West Ham United and Manchester United.

The winger adds further depth to our forward line after the permanent arrivals of Kirsty Hanson and Ebony Salmon.

I'm beginning to feel like we're going to confront the new season with a somewhat Keeganesque approach. I think my season ticket for the price of two-and-a-bit games of men's might prove fruitful. UTV.

I agree. It really is a bargain.

Adriana looks a little bit like Alisha Lehman, which is no bad thing.

[Gerrin]

Was wondering how folk within the women's game will receive the new calender Alesha Lehmann is to be bringing out fornext year. Surely that kind of thing goes against the message they are trying to send out. Not sure if any other female players do them?
