That was also awful but I do understand that to an extent given how long it had been since we got there and given how competitive the mens game is. One of the women pundits was saying something like "pinch me is this real?" which given that we had been in two semis and a final 13 years ago is a bit of a ridiculous thing to say. Saying things like "absolutely everyone is talking about this the country is going to be insane." None of that is true. I'm really pleased they are doing well and it would be great if they win it but overstating the achievement and the level of interest just makes it seem like they have been told to do that by the BBC.

Well I watched this game and I have to say that England looked a lot better than the previous game. I did actually enjoy it more than I thought I would do. Some of the keeping was terrible and the commentary and pundits afterwards were ridiculous hyping it up out of all proportion which ruined some of it for me but overall that was an improvement.
-
If true (not saying it is) then that's idiotic. Getting an experienced striker in should have been priority number one for the summer.
-
How can they sell a season ticket then when it's at two different grounds?
-
£50 for a season ticket for the saints ladies seems decent value. Is it at St Marys?
-
Our higher bid was reported after we had announced the agreement in principle for Mara.
-
No suggestion he wants to come, City have rejected our offers. Time to move on methinks.
-
Idiotic rewriting of history based on a literal handful of comments on here after one early game.
-
I can't see Ralph doing much as I'm not a huge fan of his style of play. I think we may have enough to stay up if we get the required offensive reinforcements. I'm going to go with 16th but maybe higher if some of our gambles pay off. Will probably be sacking Ralph though.
-
The point is you can find cheap and expensive players for the same position all over the place. Using one transfer to West Ham and then saying that proves that Broja would be too much is pretty silly really. All a bit moot though as we won't be signing him anyway imo.
-
And West Ham is currently a much more attractive proposition for a player so we would likely have to pay a higher premium to attract players of a similar pedigree.
-
Right and if this West Ham striker is as good as claimed then he's probably worth a lot more than they are paying.
-
But then the flip side is that if the likes of Carillo was going for 20 million or whatever he cost then you'd expect Broja to be significantly more expensive.
-
I was more referring to the general football fan passing comment. From the outside it looks like we've thrown together a load of cheap options. Obviously we know better.
-
I've seen some commentators generally tipping us for relegation. Typically though that's because they've not really heard of any of our players we have signed.
-
Does seem a bit odd that they don't tbh. Sports likr tennis play shorter matches which is kind of the same thing.
-
Wonder if this is the Delap alternative. Hope he's good!
-
Fair enough. Some of the reaction in the media made me expect more than what I've seen. Looked very pedestrian this far but hopefully they can go on and win this.
-
This is the first woman's match IV watched in full and England have looked absolutely turd. We're they just overhyped by weirdos in the media?
-
Really starting to get quite nervous now with so little left of preseason.
-
I have to admit, seeing the team lineups like that does worry me. We continue to have a few standout players and that's about it so far. Another 3 or 4 needed for me.
-
People were suggesting that jwp could play further forward.
-
I find it hard to believe we would spend that much on Winks. That may be the price they want but that's a different conversation.
-
I don't want us to spend that much on Winks but where have you got these opinions from? How many times have you watched him play?
-
I'd take him for 12-15 million. Any more and like you said it's too much and we could get comparable elsewhere. I can see the appeal of him though.
