Mary Earps has just pulled off an absolutely ridiculous save 

Not only saved an effort from nowhere, but stopped the ball and clawed it away all in one movement 

50:18 on the clock 

Not a massive follower of ladies football but I do watch it frequent enough and realise it has come a long way in a very short time and no doubt will keep growing with the right funding , have seen Mary earps a bit more than most and looked out for her due to her city connections , could your answer me this phants is she really that good and also as she is some type of pin up girl for the ladies game as she got a bit above her station ( billy big bxxxxxxs ) if you excuse the pun

I'd say it's a bit of both, she's certainly up there as the best in the world if not 'the' best 

Along with a couple of the Lionesses she's definitely a recognised "name" in the wider game and single handedly no doubt put a few thousand on our attendance when we played United  and definitely not just a role model for United supporters but also the whole England game 

Where she let's herself down, and did it frequently today is where she so audibly and visibly keeps shouting fxxk off repeatedly when she makes a save 

I know what you mean about getting a bit Billy big ***, I think part of the problem is that she is one of a very small handful that are focused on, it was worse a few months ago where she seemed to be at a different awards night / film premiere / etc every couple of days 

Fortunately she still comes across as a likeable character, whereas I'd bet a male equivalent would get more stick 

Going forward, what will be interesting is how she manages the fact Hannah Hampton is fast approaching her as being as good, and was recently "rested" in place of Hampton for England recently against Northern Ireland

Napier returns from suspension. Stratigakis starts. Struck drops to bench. Layzell, Jones & Furness back in squad but make bench. Harrison missing from squad

KO 6.45pm. Live on Sky Sports. I'll try post updates while I'm here at Meadow Park

Not bad, I live in hope that Evans will do something. Good to see a stronger bench, hopefully Layzell, Jones & Furness all 100% fit.

Yes I did see at a few of them award ceremonies ( nearly every week ) don’t think she helped herself with some of the things she wore ( looked more of a sex object than ladies football player ) yes I did notice the new keeper wasn’t it Republic of Ireland though not N Ireland , yes will be interesting to see how she reacts when the decline comes ( it happens to all ) as she seems to revel in the high society life

I had a feeling I had the wrong Irish team 🤦

Interesting on Sky comms they mentioned Lauren can relax as she knows whatever happens this season she'll be in charge next season

I particularly enjoyed the rousing rendition of `you`re shit ahhhhhh` from what sounded like a busload on a school trip!

Reminds me of watching England Schoolboys at Wembley in the 1980s

I've got my headphones on and I can clearly hear one of their knobheads chanting 'what the Buckingham hell was that' in amongst the ra-ra public school like singing.

I'm trying to watch this, but it's proving impossible to enjoy. 3-0 34mins.

Respect to those people who follow the side every week, it must be a very difficult watch 

Being on TV against Manchester City and Chelsea in the coming weeks the broadcasters clearly won't be getting a great game. Just one side trying to defend and the other scoring at will

And renditions of ‘Bristol get battered everywhere they go’

I didn’t think that was part of the women’s games mantra.

Were you at the England West Germany game where Andy Cole scored a brace ? 1986 I think.

Said that day he’d be a top player and he didn’t do badly

Pretty sure I would have been 

My school did trips to all the games back then 

.... 

Sky just reported that Arsenal had 44 touches in our penalty area in the first half. That's a WSL record

They were proper school trips, back in the days when money and Sky TV didn’t control football 😂
