    Ed Bassford - Lord Bracknell

    We were very saddened to hear of the death of our good friend Ed Bassford last night. We, like many here, have had many wonderful conversations, debates and drinks with Ed (a born chatterbox) on a wide range of subjects, and always found him charming and engaging. My (Al's) first real time of...

    New manager for Albion women's team

    No, and no-one has made that assertion. However, those who believe women's football has no right to exist could easily have that label slapped on them.

    New manager for Albion women's team

    Oh dear - on many levels. :facepalm: No, Goldstone doesn't make any valid points. He believes women's football has no right to exist on three main points - the perceived lack of interest, it only ticks the box of a 'PC Brigade' and his psychedelic, parallel-universe conention that it's only a...

    New manager for Albion women's team

    As I said before, the previous incumbent was black too.

    New manager for Albion women's team

    You're probably right. If this had been last season, it may have been a lesser 'distraction' (I'll think of a better word later).

    New manager for Albion women's team

    Only in your reality. The majority are just not interested, which is vastly different from your contention that women's football shouldn't exist. Please don't play the 'freedom of speech' card at us - it doesn't wash. Just because you are able to 'speak your mind', it doesn't mean you're...

    Who is this mythical 'PC Brigade' of which you speak? Can you name them all? We don't 'just accept football is man's game' because football isn't only a man's game. Quite simple, really.

    New manager for Albion women's team

    Of course I can't. But the reasoning behind my post was - what problem would the 'average' Albion fan have with Hope Powell being at the Fans' Forum? As many say on here - women's football is off their radar. That's a pity because those who do go and watch them appreciate what a good side they...

    Depends how you define 'average'.

    England v Scotland (lovely ladies ) eurosport 2 now

    And you couldn't say that any of the goals were down to the standard of goalkeeping. All decent finishes with the keeper not having any chance. The Scotland defence on the other hand... In fact, both goalkeepers were good at punching at corners.

    Calderon

    Totally agree, except... English is his third language. :) That said, he's probably articulate in his second language too.

    New manager for Albion women's team

    Now that they're in the Women's Super League 2 (the second highest tier in women's football in England), they are going semi-professional. If they get promoted to WSL1, they go fully professional. Hope Powell's role is Head Coach - effectively Chris Hughton's opposite number. The Assistant...

    New manager for Albion women's team

    Has it not occurred to you that England's rapid ascent from 2006 to 2013 may well have been down to her time in charge of the England women's team? It's excellent that Mark Sampson has continued Powell's work to take them to another level still. And do you have first-hand, peer-test evidence...

    New manager for Albion women's team

    It loses a lot less money than the men's team does. But the reality is, there is no reason for there not to be a women's team. We have men's, junior, various abilities team (incl, amputee, blind, walking, autistic, powerchair), so why not women's? None of them turn a profit. The club doesn't...

    The other thing about this game is that it's Utrecht - which is a lovely city. Sorry, carry on.
