Congrats to Liverpool Ladies

[charlie clown]

Won the league today - broke the Arsenal deadlock.

 

Not sure it's been covered anywhere else on the forum - but that is some achievement so deserves a mention.

[aka Dus]

Indeed. Bottom the league last 2 years, astute management appointment and key signings, backing from the club and full integration into the club proper. Impressive all round.

Jen Chang to thank

[impware]

Firstly, well done to the ladies, a great achievement! Wel done to the club in backing them. Both my girls play and it's nice to see it being taken seriously by the club.

 

But what's with the Jen Chang reference? Someone else mentioned himin regard to the ladies but I never saw the story.

"We are the Champions of the world!"

[Tommy Cockles]

It's a sign!

[Nebraska Red]

Are they in the Champions League now?

Yep I was checking the score on the BBC for this earlier. Great achievement for them!

[Smith]

Well done ladies, congrats.

[Ronnie#5]

That's some turnaround. Well done to all concerned.

[Molby]

pfft..

arrivisti

[Gerry]

Are they in the Champions League now?

 

Yes.

[AE]

Yes.

 

So we now know the FSG strategy to get us back into the champions league.... a sex change

[RP]

Well done to them.

 

Can't get excited about ladies footy though - absolute crap to watch.

[Spike]

Think that it's a canny move investing in them given how big the game is amongst school age females in the states

[Earl Hafler]

Well done to them.

Watched some of the England Turkey game. The Turkish keeper could barely kick it 40 yards.

Mignolet can only kick it 10 yards further than that.

Indeed - very good for the brand.

[aka Dus]

I presume the reason they're not in the Women's CL starting this week is that qualifiers were decided on the basis of last year's results?

[richwilks]

Well done to them.

I've been doing my FA level 2 with a couple of the Bristol Academy ladies players who finished 2nd. Decent players but just decent, didn't stand out above some of the cow kickers on the course.

[aka Dus]

Arsenal buying all round them to try get the title back. the England captain, Bristol's goalie and 2 Japanese WC winners.

 

Kicks off again in March.

Is she on the team?

[blago]

Looking at it somewhat cynically, the investment in our women's team is a ploy to raise the club's profile in the US as Spike said. I don't mind that at all, and it obviously took a lot less investment to achieve this success with the ladies than it would do to achieve a similar level of success with the first team.

 

I was very happy to see them win it and watched the last two or three matches in full. It's not the same game as the men's but once you accept that there is still some good entertainment on offer.
