Answer is 'yes' for anyone close enough and wanting to pop along.

I presume you went back to sleep? Give a wave to the cameras as there'll be a few of us trying to watch.

Interesting team choice, not what I expected! 
Griffiths and Collett must have impressed in training the last few weeks because they’ve not featured as much as most others.

Looks like Kendall will play further forward, hope she still sees a lot of the ball, she could be the key

Only on the close up shots it seems, must be that one particular camera. Looks like the Take On Me music video.

Very nervy start.

 

[Jimmy_D]

Both teams looking a little nervous so far, hopefully we can settle soon.

[Saint_clark]

Is it lagging like mad for anyone else or is it just at my end? 

[cloggy saint]

Good chance to take the lead there.

She's a big lass but surprisingly mobile.

[Jimmy_D]

Feels like if we can make one of our chances count we’ll be far more settled…

[Jimmy_D]

Impressed with the number of Saints fans there considering the distance

Didn't they sell 3 or 4 coaches worth of travel in the end? Plus any northern saints up there.

[striker]

Get in!!!!

[Saint_clark]

Get in there!! Great goal!!

[Jimmy_D]

Gerrrrrrrrrrrrin!!!!

Yes!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yeeeeeessss!

[Jimmy_D]

That’s a fantastic goal!

[hypochondriac]

Not going to lie, I'm not normally a big fan of women's football but I am watching and did cheer when they scored just now. Would be good for the city to get promotion. 

[cloggy saint]

That's a very composed finish.

[hypochondriac]

Plus the mens team have been a bag of shite for ages now so nice to see a team be successful. 

[Saint_clark]

Surely there's a Pharaoh chant to "walks like an Egyptian" to be found?

Pharaoh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh...

Scores goals for Southampton...

[Saint_clark]

Is that Jon Parkin post transition up front for them!? 

[Saint_clark]

Should be 2.

[Jimmy_D]

Ohhhh! Should be two!

[Wurzel]

Saints looking a totally different level than their opponents for thes first half. Said that plenty of times for the mens team these last two years .......

[Jimmy_D]

Milly Mott at RB has been excellent for us so far today

Not sure about that, there's some definite quality there for Wolves, some good runs made with the ball. We just seem to be more composed with it so far.

[Saint_clark]

Oof she took the full force of big bird on top of her head as they went down then.

[Causer]

Ware is a superb player.

[striker]

Wolves down to 10 women, clear penalty

[Saint_clark]

Red card for Wolves player for kicking Ware after the ball had gone.

[Saint_Jonny]

Fuck knows what's going on in this game, just turns into a slide show whenever anything exciting happens. 

 

Going well for Saints anyway!

Silly when she was on a yellow, good for Saints though!

Saints need to concentrate and make sure they don’t drop their level now.
