      There must be a line in there about a cow’s arse Phil, but I’m not brave enough to say it!

        There was some Arsenal bird on TV yesterday being interviewed about this league. I say “bird” because I suspect she was not male.

        All I can say is I hope she doesnt swap shirts at the end!

        What I’d really like to know is do these women’s clubs have any affinity with the proper club? (ie was Doncaster Belles formed from the female supporters of Doncaster Rovers)

        Can’t speak for the others, but I know Arsenal Ladies was formed by Arsenal’s Kit Man, Vic Akers.

        It’s not a fans’ team these days as they get paid to play and attract the best players in from all over the country.

          Thanks for that info about Arsenal ladies and how they were formed. I know what it is now – the article I watched was saying that only a certain number of players can earn (I think) > £20,000 per year (!), which has led to a dilution of the top players around all the sides that make up this league, rather than a couple of sides having all the top players and winning everything in sight.

          I still maintain the bird that was being interviewed was fugly!

          i think that they all now have links to the professional male clubs whose names they’ve taken otherwise they wouldn’t be able to use the name

          They didn’t all start off being associated with them though – Doncaster Belles Rovers just used to be called Doncaster Belles & had nowt to do with Doncaster Rovers
          Everton Ladies (I think – its either them or Liverpool) are the team that used to be known as Leasowe Pacific

          As for the whole idea – to me its a completely disproportinate waste of the FA’s time and money. £3mill could be far better invested in the game across the whole spectrum than chucking it at an idea that (spectator wise) at least the vast majority of people couldn’t give a flying fig about & calling it the super league or playing it in the summer itsn’t gonna make a blind bit of difference.
          With all due respect to the women playing in the “super league” the majority of whom are probably better players than me – I wouldn’t watch them if they were playing in my back garden & giving away free beer. I’ve watched some of the games in the past on the telly & the standard is awful – you will see better quality football in the NWCL
          It reminds me of a politically correct equivalent of the RFL’s repeatedly failed attempts to drum up any interest for rugby league outside of the M62 corridor & a couple of spots of Cumbria

            A few weeks after Whelan had taken over he apparently refused to pay the program printers after several articles appeared in one issue with a heading and no content. One such heading was, “women in football”, we weren’t sure at the time if this was a mistake or a gag.

            Incidentally, Arsenal have just gone 1-0 up against Chelsea at Tooting & Mitcham, Flaherty scoring after a corner was partially cleared.
