It's only taken me 77 years, 54 of them as a Saints supporter to get this accolade. 😂 Thanks.

Er, no. Make that the greatest England's women captain of all time, then maybe. I watched Booby Moore and his wonderful team lift the World Cup in 1966. Like the Lionesses, they had English blood coursing through their veins and they dug in against a very good German side and stubbornly refused to lose. Those days were long before the stupid amount of money that footballers get now. After the World Cup, Nobby Stiles said he would happily play for nothing. How many of the pampered prima donnas would say that these days? I am female, adore football and I'm delighted to see young girls having role models like the Lionesses to look up to instead of the Kardashians and their ilk. However, let's get everything into perspective. Women's football and Men's football stand independently of each other, as they should. One doesn't trump (no pun intended) the other in my mind.

I liked it when she 'thanked', sarcastically, those (Man City) who doubted her and made her seriously consider packing in football. Karma!!!

Fair point.

I love football but common sense says to me that there will never be a time when there will be professional mixed teams. No matter how talented and technically gifted a woman footballer is the physical side will always be a barrier. I watch grassroots football quite a bit and even at that level women would not manage with the speed and physical demands. Let's celebrate men's and women's football but accept that although playing the same game there are differences that will never be overcome to enable mixed teams playing in professional football.

Aitana Bonmati was the best player throughout these Euros. Well deserved.

I hope you have the elixir of life handy then.

Sounds like the rubbish Eric Cantona used to say.

I was hoping we had seen the last of shoehorning Stephens in every game when RM went. Clearly not.

That was a major blunder by Margaret Thatcher. She should have insisted that money made from the sale of council properties was ploughed back into building more local authority homes. As it was that money has gone, God knows where. Years back councils in Liverpool, faced with hundreds of derelict 2 up. 2 down, terraced houses, gave local people the chance to buy one for £1. Many of those people secured loans from the council to renovate their houses. I can't see why something like that could not be done today. It provides people with a home of their own, improves an area and often, reduces crime.

I rest my case.

As soon as women's football is on here come the usual suspects with the usual remarks. Women's football is women's football and men's football is men's football and never the twain shall meet. Vive la difference.

It will just be me. I am way older than my Dad was when that news was announced.

I stand corrected. Wrong Johnny!

Chelsea have played around 43 weeks of football. As for FIFA they made £2b so of course they will see it as a success.
