is it that their equivalent of the daily star?

It's a parody website.

I think she would be very good and no reason why she could not do it. But why would she want to? The sh!t that would come and the torrent of abuse from misogynistic tw@ts would not be worth it. She has a very high profile job and doing it fantasically well.

Why would she want to?

In short, money, although I'm not saying here that money would or should necessarily be a deciding factor for her more than anyone else.

She's currently on around £400,000 per year. A bonus of £200,000 came with the Euros win.

When this is compared with Southgate's reported increase from £3m to £5m in November 2022 and the astronomical amounts that elite domestic managers receive, it could be argued that she's being grossly underpaid purely on performance.

Of course, there are other factors in place here surrounding the FA support and overall sustainability of the women's game, and general interest level from the paying / viewing public (high in tournaments, increasing but still generally low in most week-by-week domestic fixtures) that may play a role in deciding her salary.

I don't disagree with your other points made, although I'd like to think even though there's still a long way to go, things have improved somewhat and it's the noisy minority that give the majority a bad name, just like it's always been with football fans.

Our very own Katy Robinson will be part of the squad on Sunday, and is also nominated for the PFA Young player of the year.

Good to see!

Would be great if they opened the club up for the final on Sunday but given that they couldn't even open 30 mins early for the quarter final its probably unlikely...

Off to Chelsea for £300m a season, is what I heard from a SAUCE...

I'm glad it didn't finish 2-2 at full time. As Australia won the last match they would have demanded to go through to the final..

What is really funny is that the comments under the advert just confirm the piss taking in it.

Nice.

Seeing that has reminded me that there seems to be a complete lack of any betting advertising at this tournament. None at the stadiums and none on the ITV coverage commercial breaks. I'm assuming that is deliberate.

Every time she was bearing down on goal especially in the first 70 mins I almost couldn't watch shes so clinical. She did tire, and obviously isn't fully match fit yet - they'd have taken her off if they could've done. That one chance before our third goal I think if she'd been fully fit she'd have at least got it on target

If she’s fully fit I don’t know if England win that game. Hell even if that wasn’t her first start I think it’s a much harder game. The sheer volume of chances she creates is ridiculous in itself

The bunting will be out Sunday. Apart from me and the dog no one will see it but the thought is there.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to go to the Amex on a non match day. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather NOT watch the game.

Don’t think they are allowed to advertise betting sites at 8am on TV
