Every thing that can go wrong, almost has, only Chelsea can save our day. I cannot see a point for us in our final four games and we might well pay the piper for seeing profit in the January transfer window, rather than replacing those who left.

I can only surmise this woman has not seen Joe Hart between the sticks this season.

Accrington Stanley (The one formed in 1968, not the 'original' club), are now champions of League two.

She has - she also, as the article states, has the good sense to recognise that Nick Pope is considerably better.
Unfortunately she is one of the many females that the BBC are determined to shoehorn into their football coverage at the moment, whatever their broadcasting limitations; sadly, like so many pundits, she ain't very good, but is probably affordable. There again the Beeb still give the execrable Phil Neville airtime for no apparent reason other than to make Danny Mills and the idiot Savage look, well, less appalling (slightly).
At this point I would offer up a plea that we might be preserved from the Jackie OBE!! Oatley's of this world who are utterly hopeless at commentary and resemble those talent show singers who start off too charged up and end up with nowhere to go, except pet-frightrening shrillness. There was an Irish lass reporting from I can't recall where today, with a voice like nails going down a blackboard.
I get the impression that Auntie Beeb are desperate to get the profile of women's football raised not only to be seen as right-on and altruistic, but because they think sooner rather than later, it might just be the only domestic version that they can afford to cover.

Pierrelm. You are spot on about the beeb. Yes, I love watching women's football and I have for a long time. But compared to men's football it is small time. The quality is very good and the England women's skill has come on massively in the last 15 years. But every time I check the bbc football website they have to shoehorn in a story about women's football. Every damn time.
As for Jacqui Oatley, I have sympathy for her. She's a good broadcaster and very knowledgeable but her voice isn't that of a commentator.

Tuchel (who?) to Paris.
Bloody little princess Neymar soon back: poor little boy.
More seriously Lens needs 3 points tomorrow.
Great Reds ,very tought Real, away.

Thanks Nick.

The damage limitations tactics failed miserably as we get nearer the dreaded dotted line.

Leicester away next who are probably still smarting from the spanking by Palace, I
suspect we will be in for a tough time in the land of Royal car parks.

Lens and Blues both standing on a sapling across the quicksand.
Anything can happen.

Hammers nearer the bank, and might make a lucky leap...or not.

Apparently Liverpool must figure that the have the Champion's League title in the bag so that's how they're going to get in for next year. They're sure not taking care of it through their Premier League games right now.

You can never under estimate how tough it is to break teams who are near the relegation zone if they are defensively sound.

Unlike every other football league the 20 EPL clubs all share the tv revenue
so last still has quality players just not inform

West Brom dead last and winless for eons beating Man U away recently says it all

Better to be Liverpool than the chasing Chelsea
