You're being deliberate obtuse (you?!) as I clearly mentioned the first and second linked results.
But OK, let's really push the boat out with a search string that only a Google jedi could manage: "england women injury time winner"
Right at the top of the page it generates the following summary from a BBC article:
"Nearing the end of injury time, the Lionesses were goalless to Italy, who had scored a goal in the first half. That was until 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang scored at 96 minutes, moments from the final whistle, saving the team from certain defeat."
One minute you're saying how quick and easy it is to use a search engine, the next you're incapable of this. 😆

What would I have put in the search engine to find her if I didn’t know her name?
I think you could probably manage something like "england women".
First result is 'England Women's Senior national football team | Lionesses', which contains numerous articles mentioning Agyemang, with pictures. Second result is the Wikipedia page 'England women's national football team', which contains the current squad.

“Scoured the internet” = googled her name, clicked images and within about 5 seconds found those photos.
Given, as you say, it takes a matter of seconds to locate helpful info on the Internet, perhaps it may have served you better to bother looking up her name in the first place.

I've been plenty critical of Sugawara's defending, but agree - he won't be under nearly so much pressure at this level.
Neither Fox nor Richardson stepped up to the PL, yet they cumulatively bagged 19 assists in a single Championship season.
A full back that can deliver a decent ball is handy in this division.

I see AFCB and Brentford’s new kits are stripey backs, how novel , have to say Brentford’s is really nice in my opinion
Each to their own, but for me this appears ill thought out and over-designed.
It also shares an issue with ours, in terms of apparently not knowing what to do with the stripes and the shoulder seam.
The awful sponsor and manufacturer logos are further nails in the coffin.

Given footballers can't resist pulling Cucurella's hair, should its continued existence be considered an unfair advantage?

Jack Stephens in no man's land...
Unfortunately that's triggered another year's extension.

Perhaps it's not the sort of thing you think about as a player, but would Ramsdale want to risk another relegation on his CV?
(Not that he wouldn't be in a similar position in 12 months if he stays with us and we have a decent season...)
It's probably daft, but I'd mind less if he goes to a solid mid-table Prem team rather than one closer to our level.

Barely good enough for the Championship, miles out of his depth in the Prem, and too old to learn.
We had a golden opportunity to shake Jack's hand and move on at the end of this season.
He must give a bloody good turndown service... 🙄

Was also going to 'sad face' comment about Stephens being so heavily included in the promo shots, but then JWP was for the 23-24 kit launch, so... 🤞

Bit my tongue to make sure the leaks were accurate, but it's an absolute dog.
Not a particularly accurate take on the original kit, nor a decent modern reimagining. And what the hell are the two different reds all about?!
The P&O sponsor has been done poorly; that black stroke around it is too thick - and it's unfortunately just not an aesthetically pleasing logo for the centre of a kit. Starling has tended to look much better on the women's kits, but of course they've given that the 'block of white' treatment.
Can see it being a particularly unflattering shirt on overweight fantasist blokes, to boot.

I’ve had a season ticket for years but due to work need to look more at the membership option this year. If I was to go down the route of a member should that pretty much guarantee a ticket for the home games I am available for?
As other have said, you should be fine. Additionally worth bearing the official ticket exchange in mind - as if a match sells out, there's generally dozens of season ticket holders that list their seats for resale.

Skates H on 13th September, A not showing yet.

BBC has updated.
Wrexham H first, if correct.

"Swiss outlet Blick noted that the match saw Switzerland's women's team use 28 players in total, with their third-choice goalkeeper playing for the U15 side in one half.
Four players were absent, including their captain and Arsenal star Lia Walti."
Sounds like it was also an odd format kickabout, broken up by multiple breaks.
But yes, ha ha ha - women! 🙄🙄

On other news, Lyon have been relegated to ligue 2... Wonder if there are any good young players there that Still may know.... Let alone ARG.
Bring Caleta-Car and Maitland-Niles back to their spiritual homes. ❤️

Ooh, remembered another one from 2014.
I'd popped into the Chilworth Arms after work and was sat in the garden. Then Pochettino arrived and sat a few tables away (with a woman I've forgotten the name of - believe she was the Saints club secretary at the time?)
I posted a 'covert' photo on Twitter back in the day and there was a bit of discussion about why he was there, as it was a few weeks after he'd defected to Spurs.
For all I know he was just back to sort out selling his house, or something similarly innocuous.

Don't know whether it counts as 'bumped into', but Benali was my landlord for a year after I moved out from my ex.
In the first week I answered the door to him whilst still in my pyjamas (he was dropping a spare key 'round). 🤦♂️
The garden was a right old state initially - but I didn't expect Franny himself to get out there with the mower!
I was a better tenant than Cortese and my deposit was returned in full. 😁

Thinking about the Yin/Yang of posters, and I accept that it might be time playing tricks with my "Miserableoldmind" but 19 Canteen (19 C) was one of the nastiest posters that I have come across on here. Seemed to have no respect for anybody. On the other hand, Bexter von Doodle seemed to be one of the more decent posters.....
I could be wrong, but I suspect Nineteen Canteen has another username on here now.

Flipping heck.
I'd forgotten how bad that minute of football was after the kick off. Absolutely cowardly.
Can quite clearly see Zidane vom just before taking the penalty.

Oh, fuck it. Can't miss the derby.
We'll cut back on something. 😅

15 minutes to go... I'm still wrestling with it.
Getting married next year and funds are tight all-round. 😬

I dont understand why the majority seem to be so keen to offload Armstrong!? A player who scored a hatful the last time we were in this division, the goals that got us into the upper end of the table and playoffs. And then scored the winner in the final to get us promoted. I think he deserves more respect than he gets from us.
Yes, we know he isn't good enough for the Premier League if we do go up again, but he is proven at this level and that's what we need for now. He's scored 49 goals in 86 Championship games in his last 2 full seasons down here! If we signed someone next week with that record, surely we would all be excited.
Personally, I really hope he stays. I think all of our other current forward options (Onuachu, Stewart, Archer, Ballard, etc) are a risk (for a number of different reasons) and all a bit unknown, whereas we can be pretty confident that Adarma will score goals for us at this level.There's a skill to knowing when you've had the best from a player and when it tips into cashing in. Ideally whilst there's some residual value/before you hit the diminishing returns.
If he were a year or two older, I'd say it'd be clearer cut to decide that; if he had another year on his contract (which runs out in 2026), it'd be more obvious to keep him - as he'd still be a saleable asset in 12 months.
As it stands, I'd be tempted to offer a year's extension to his current and see how this season goes with him.
Though if there was the option to clear out our entire front line I'd probably take it. 😅
