Its over. The dream. Us gels. Football. Australia. World AND Euro champions. Sarina Wiegman. Pony tails. Its not comin’ ‘ome. Whatever ‘it’ might be.

No kings or princes or PMs went to Sydney to witness our noble, valiant and courageous loss to those fucking Spanish bitches, to whom I bear no grudge. Obviously. They were better on the day. It was a game’a two halves. At da enna’da day. But we should have won. For the simple reason that our girls were good, honest Inglish gels, and theirs weren’t. Even though half of them play over here. So alas, it was not meant to be. Rishi must have known and took a leaf out of the Harry Kane book; go nowhere without a guaranteed medal.

Whereas at Spurs!!!! We beat Manchester United at our ‘new’ stadium for the first time. But we don’t care. United squandered chances and then looked shit. But we don’t care. We bossed them in midfield and scored 2 fab goals. And we barely care.

Because under the wonderful Ange we’re playing like a Spurs team again. Free-flowing, creative, fast, eager, strident, confident and flowing. Ok, there are ‘gaps’, they’re inherent in the style of play, you just have to try and fill them before the opponents do. And a better opponent might have capitalised, early on when we hadn’t properly settled. But they weren’t better. They were, pretty much, the same Man United as we had last year, with Mason Mount added for fun. Though he didn’t seem to have much fun playing against Sarr and Bissouma, with James Madison flying round being wonderful. Lovin’ our new manager. So I’ll give him at least another 3 weeks.

Man on the radio this morning complaining that women footballers should earn the same as men footballers. I mean what a tosser. It’s not about glass ceilings or equality or anything other than tv revenues. Where does this man see these 10 million pound salaries for every lioness coming from? Maybe the government should step in and pay it. There’s also a good case that if tv rights for cancer treatment were as valuable as for football, oncologists would deservedly be on those salaries too. Its not about what you do but how many people want to watch you do it.

Happy Sunday
