Everton (Female Team)

[The Beard]

Won 3-0 away tonight at Doncaster Belles, think that means they need just a point against Arsenal on Sunday, at Halton Stadium, to clinch the League for the first time, well done Everton Ladies.

[Romey 1878]

Fingers crossed they do it, it's about time a team other than Arsenal won it!

[FairWooney]

arsenal ladies looked poor agaisnt sunderland in cup final.

 

Amusing hearing the manager slating his own team during the match as well!

 

saying that was probably just an off day against a dogged second division side.

 

COME ON GIRLS!

Yeah it puts the girls 3 points ahead of Arsenal and its the last game for both, if we lose it we lose the league on goal difference, as Beard said we just need a draw to win the league.

Nice sig Bill .

 

Come on ladies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rubecula]

The ladies side have been a powerhouse in their league for a few seasons. It is about time they put a championship in the trophy room. They deserve it.

Anyone who is free should get over there and give them some support if they can...

[lembot]

OOps oh yeah forgot to mention season ticket holder get free entrance!!

[rubecula]

What time is kick off?

[Romey 1878]

Lost 1-0. So they missed out on the title on goal difference.

 

Unlucky girls.

[MikeO]

More than 2,000 there and sounds like quite a game. Shame.....but we'll get then next year!

They must be gutted... to lose their only game of the season, and end up handing the title over to arsenal on goal difference.... what a bummer. unlucky girls... better luck next year.

[dark]

With such a good run they will have wanted to win the league, it's a shame that it wasn't to be and especially on goal differance. The Arsenal team are a known force and would always have been the one's to do it. Better luck next year, they have shown that the Arsenal can be challanged.

 

Isn't Rachel Brown (Everton) England's goalkeeper?

[Louis]

They have been accepted as one of eight teams to play in the 2011 FA Women's Super League.

 

The other seven are:

• Arsenal LFC
• Birmingham City LFC
• Bristol Academy WFC
• Chelsea LFC
• Doncaster Rovers Belles LFC
• Lincoln LFC
• Liverpool LFC

I think it's to be a professional league now and there are rules that force three players per club to earn over £20k a year. It's been moved to the summer to attract more attention and requires sponsors to go ahead. I'm not sure if it will ever go ahead personally.

[rubecula]

Good luck to the ladies.

[MikeO]

Strange that some of the best current teams (Leeds in particular, but also Sunderland, Millwall & others) aren't in it but lesser teams (Liverpool, Lincoln, Bristol) are.

[Louis]

It was based on who can bring in the most money through sponsorship and available facilities.

 

Liverpool ladies train at Melwood so that was a positive for them despite having been relegated to a lower division.

Even the ladies team get the rub of the green!

Found a new signing for them.....would grant them immunity from the rules that govern everyone else. Check the photo caption..

It looks like Man City are spending big in the women's league as well. They have signed England internationals Jill Scott and Toni Duggan from Everton. This is to be Man City's first season as far as I know.

[Vranny]

At least it's one part of the game I wouldn't mind seeing MORE money thrown into.

They're massive loses for the lady's team. Already had the heart ripped out of it last year, with the sh*te taking the majority of our players. Now, the only two players worth keeping have gone too.

 

Bloody hell.

[marcopaulo]

shame

[Louis]

They were heavily featured on BBC3 tonight.

Relegation pretty much a certainty, though it's not yet mathematically over.

9mins 30 seconds in

 

Rachel Brown says it's partly down to Everton remaining semi-pro while other clubs are turning professional. The manager agrees and says that some players work 9-5 and turn up for training.
