Just scrap the league cup, no one cares (apart from the odd non big-6 club that win it), and cue moral outrage about the game being gone from 'fans' on Twitter.
two-legged SF is the best thing in domestic cup football (for match going fans)

Really stupid comments. I know groundsmen can be officious, but belittling the guy like that was just needless.
What a surprise, 5'6'' Gambhir is a jumped up cvnt

Got to say well done to India for battling through that, even if it was watching paint dry stuff

It's eclipsed Hannah as longest palindrome. Still doesn't top Oddo or Salas for me though

I never used to like Gurney but he has grown on me and actually think he can be quite funny( last night particularly). Price on the other hand likes to dish it out, with his ridiculous over celebrations, but doesn’t like it back. Which is why he tends to get booed more than any other player.
They're both great. Anyone who gives it some on stage is aces in my book. Gezzy was actually gracious in defeat to Gurney in world cup final. Gurney is often a bad loser, was making fun (quite rightly) of Price all game then got pissed off by overzealous handshake at end. So he's guilty of your give it but can't take it remark. Also interesting that the crowd seemed quite pro Gezzy last night.

...I wasn't aware that a few figureheads represented the entirety of the women's game and their stance on the matter, as was inferred in the OP.
obviously what I quoted is an exhaustive list! but yes, figureheads do represent the game they play to a large extent

Never heard one player say anything about it. I'm sure some do, but having watched a lot of womens football I can tell you they aren't constantly banging the drum for that. And i very much doubt the constant comparrisons by 'fans' aren't based on the amount of pay they get.

Quick search:

Megan Rapinoe (United States): A prominent figure in the fight for equal pay, Rapinoe has been vocal about the U.S. Women’s National Team’s (USWNT) pay disparity compared to the men’s team. In 2019, she and her teammates filed a lawsuit against U.S. Soccer, alleging "institutionalized gender discrimination" and demanding equal pay. Rapinoe has spoken at events, including an Equal Pay Day event with President Biden in 2021, emphasizing that women athletes are "devalued, disrespected, and dismissed." The USWNT’s efforts led to a historic 2022 settlement, securing $24 million and a pledge for equal pay.
-
Alex Morgan (United States): Alongside Rapinoe, Morgan has been a key advocate in the USWNT’s equal pay campaign. She has highlighted the team’s superior performance (four World Cup titles compared to the men’s best of third place in 1930) to argue for equitable compensation. Morgan’s activism extends beyond pay, as she has also pushed for better working conditions and maternity rights.
-
Ada Hegerberg (Norway): In 2017, Hegerberg boycotted the Women’s World Cup, citing a "lack of respect" for female players by the Norwegian Football Federation. Her protest focused on unequal pay and treatment, contributing to Norway’s eventual decision to implement equal pay for its men’s and women’s national teams in 2017.
-
Marta Vieira da Silva (Brazil): Marta, one of Brazil’s most celebrated players, benefited from Brazil’s 2020 decision to equalize pay for its men’s and women’s national teams. While not directly quoted as leading the charge, her prominence and the team’s advocacy were instrumental in pushing the Brazilian Football Confederation to announce equal pay, aligning her earnings with male stars like Neymar.
-
Millie Bright (England): As captain of England’s Lionesses, Bright led the team in publishing an open letter in 2023, signed by all 24 squad members, addressing disputes with the Football Association (FA) over bonus structures and commercial activity restrictions during international tournaments. This public stance highlighted ongoing demands for equitable treatment and compensation.

I still have no idea why there is constant comparison with the mens game, it baffles me. Why people are obsessed with doing that is beyond me. But anyway.
maybe because they're constantly banging the drum for equal pay and comparing their salaries to mens'

New ball available when they'll be needing 10 odd to win at this rate

Annoying aspect of Sky's coverage is when a result is close they stop showing half the score board.
Annoys me way more than it should but just feels brain dead to me

Archer will wrap this up within 10 mins after lunch.
On to Old Trafford.
Congrats to England for this test. Been a passionate one but they've fuelled that into the win. I knew 193 would be difficult to chase with this track on day 5. Lords is such a tough place to chase.
The rest of the series will be superb if rain holds off and we can get 10 days more cricket.
How anyone can't like Test cricket is beyond me.
Forecast looking dodgy for fourth test, would be a crying shame for series to end 2-2 due to rain.
Only one drawn test (out of 35!) in Bazball period. 0 guesses needed for which ground it was at.

Can't wait for this Adidas kit deal to end. Apart from the retro range (see Germany national team), their shirts are ultra-bland.
Would love for us to go back to Puma.
agreed until you said Puma, even worse. Hummel are clear

2,300 runs behind, would take some effort to get 13+ more centuries and not pass the runs record as well.
Not 5,000/1 stuff but I'd give you very long odds.
