Coming from the geezer who earlier today dug up a year old thread to try and do a funny…. Which failed spectacularly.

And those who use the saints web ignore feature…

Given the elite professionals aren’t setting the world alight, god forbid what they’re dishing up at Sue’s park level.

Oh Sue, please offer us your spare. I’m absolutely gutted to be missing out on such a prestigious, once in a lifetime, event.

Right, so they got shown up and then all of a sudden ‘weren’t trying’… LOOL I guess none of these were trying either…

I disagree, the USA lady’s lost to an U15’s team ffs. Any competent grassroots side would run rings around any women’s team. Especially if given full time training and a carpet to play on.

😂😂 are you still going on in your pursuit or trying to convince people. Give it up pal.

Did we try and keep him? I.e match the offer at all? If he’s gone for c.7k, that’s not much for a first team player (if we rated him that highly).

1 out of a thousand… Chelsea, in recent years, have produced loads of players playing at the top level. All across Europe.

I’m sure people thought the same of Jamal Musiala when he left us for Chelsea….

Those saying we shouldn’t compare women’s football with the men’s professional game are absolutely right. We shouldn’t. We should be comparing it to grassroots, such is the standard. Rather than waste your money watching that rubbish, go spend a fiver to watch your local non-league team. They could do with the funding and you never know, might produce a player for saints one day!

Difference being, 99% of people on this forum are interested in the euros/World Cup. less than 10% are interested in this crap. We’ve already distinguished men’s and women’s football shouldn’t be compared against each other… Feel free to create a new forum. Saints women web or something, I’m sure that’ll be a raving success.

Or a panini sticker book, or tweets from the BBC comparing them to one of England’s greatest players, for a shot that was pathetic…

Nice argument, however, this isn’t a women’s football forum. In fact, if anything, this part of the forum is supposed to be about Saints. So you women’s football fanatics, take your discussions elsewhere if you don’t want it criticised.

Your over aggressive defence of this makes me think you’re either lying to yourself to appear inclusive, or just a pervert enjoying watching all the lady’s in short shorts.…

Informed about what, exactly? Ive played and coached at a very decent, non-league standard. I’ve watched hundreds of games from the premier league to tyro league. These are professionals who train every day and have the best facilities around to help them better themselves. Some of which struggle to put in a cross off the ground. Give that to any male who’s playing in the Hampshire premier league or higher and they’d be the best player at this tournament. There is clearly a huge push from certain media outlets to improve the popularity of the women’s game. That will not come until the standard improves. at the minute it’s miles off.

Interesting, but sensible approach.

A shame, I like him. Trouble is, he couldn’t play with JWP and was never going to be played ahead of him. A move best for all parties.

True, they did. At one stage they thought they had him. Not sure what changed, probably PSG interest, but they had talks with him 100%.

So unless your opinion mirrors that of yours, don’t form an opinion or post about it. Right, got ya.

A lot of smoke on this one and not usually this much smoke without fire. Not just KWP leaving but a lot of links to an incoming RB, leaving us with 3 which is excessive. Would be a big loss for us if true. Here’s hoping it’s just the club and agent playing each other in contract negotiations.

There may not be a pathway at Chelsea, however all of those examples are playing for Mid table PL clubs or higher. With us, you either make it in the first team or end up L2 or lower. In recent years, Chelsea’s success rate of bringing through PL standard players is significantly better than ours.

I mean it’s hard to reserve an opinion when it’s been rammed down your throat with total nonsense like that “beckham esque” example, from the BBC. However; since the start of the tournament, personally (using me as an example because I was called out), I’ve made about 3 posts. Hardly “keeps coming back”. I’ve watched about 30 minutes of the whole thing here and there. Nothing has changed my opinion that in general, the standard of football, from elite competitors, is nothing short of shambolic. To be fair; I actually feel abit sorry for most of the girls, they no doubt accept that it’s not a sport many are or will be interested in. it’s people like the BBC over pushing it and idiots like that Yank who was asking for equal pay who stoke the fire and debate.

You have to wonder what would have happened to us if we’d signed Adebeyor and or Drogba back then. Assuming they would have gone on to have been what they became, you’d have thought it would have added a bit more £ to the pot, which could have potentially saved us. Who knows!

Who was the lad from Bristol City we were due to sign, back in the championship, but he allegedly failed a medical. Can’t remember his name, but I do remember him being their captain and was pretty exciting at the time. I think we then went on to sign Jos Hooiveld instead, so I guess it all worked out well in the end.
