On the supporter coach to Manchester. Arsenal also playing tonight. If we win and they don't we are champions. If both clubs win, or both draw, or both lose, we'll need a point against Spurs next week to clinch the title.

Moments away from winning the WSL again

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

was there ever any doubt? many congrats to the girls for an amazing season, league winners, league cup winners, CL semis, and can still add an FA Cup trophy. Goodluck in the final

KTBFFH always 💙

Six in a row!! Well done the girls. 🙂

The fans did well too. There was a pretty good turnout even though the 8:15pm midweek kick-off made it tough for people to attend and be fit for work/school the next day. Nowhere near the three-thousand odd that travelled to the ManU game last season but they made enough noise to help the team over the line.

We're nine points clear at the top with two games to play. That means we're almost certain to win the title with a bigger points margin this season, than the combined total by which we won the last five. In fact, if we stretch the lead any more, we might win it by double the combined winning margins from 2020 to 2024.

The girls are at Tottenham Hotspur stadium today. We're told that they will receive a guard of honour before the 14:15 kick off. Some victory laps are just sweeter than others. 🙂

We started the final really poorly. It was one of those performances where you're still fuming about how sloppy our play is, when it dawns on you that actually we've been in control for a good few minutes. We suffered a shaky first 10 to 15 minutes but after that became more and more dominant for the rest of the match. A fully deserved win which could easily have seen a wider margin of victory despite not really carving out all that many clear cut chances.

Erin Cuthbert was a fully deserved player of the match.

Laura James missed a penalty for England v Sweden

Penalty shootout has to be the worst batch of spot kicks for a while. So many spooned over and missed the target. England finally beat Sweden on last kick

We have to admit that this shootout was a gift for people who like to sneer at women's football.

Unless she's playing for somebody other than Chelsea or England, I never want to see Lauren James take another penalty. There's a lot to like about her play but there is also a consistent weakness in my opinion. She's over committed to the notion that she is the languid superstar who can operate at her own pace. This is frequently effective but LJ does sometimes fail to recognise when a different mode is the right answer. She brings this attitude to penalty taking;; strolls to the ball, doesn't really disguise her aiming point, and doesn't hit the corners.
