I noticed the OH's womens team had been playing in the Champions league!

Wonder if they are under the same ownership structure.

They are under the KP umbrella. Comfortably top of the Belgian league too...

...although I would think the standard is not much better than WSL2-level.

Only 6 on the bench. Squad is so thin. At least Leitzig is back which might give us an outside chance of a 0-0 if she has one of her good days.

My picks for today, so the ones for you all to avoid

1:20 Maestro Conti

2:00 Wilful

2:40 Panic Attack

3:20 Dr Steinberg

4:00 The Jukebox Man

4:40 Wonderwall

Me picking The Jukebox Man means he won't win and we'll all be spared the Harry Redknapp media circle-jerk that would come with it.

I'm useless at this, so probably best avoid my picks at all costs

1:20 Bambino Fever

2:00 The Bluesman

2:40 Wodhooh

3:20 Ma Shantou

4:00 Impaire Et Passe

4:40 Electric Mason

1.20 Novelty Bobble

2.00 Christ's Chin

2.40 Small-town Gypsy Massacre

3.20 Massive Bereavement 

4.00 Epileptic Fridge Boy

4.40 ABBA The Horse

5.20 Sinead O'Connor

Top's horse The Lost King just won at Wolverhampton so that's made his day no matter what happens at Ipswich. 

Hope Calum is trolling, because if not, he's had a complete mare here...

David Kelly for example only played for us for one season and only score like  6 or 7 goals..

25 goals In 75 games across 3 different seasons (only 1 full season though - 90/91 where he scored 14)...

Getting hooked earlier and earlier now. At least Cremonese managed to scrape a 0-0 today.

Have a season ticket holder for the womens game for 4 seasons now, in that time their has been absolutely no improvement in the team!

We should be better by now, I feel it's time we had a managerial change to hopefully improve our play and guide us up the league.

Improvement requires investment, and there has been none. Top isn't even interested in the men's team, so he's hardly going to care about the women's team. They've had a good run and exceeded expectations by staying in the WSL this long, but it's been obvious for a long time that it is simply not a WSL set-up. It's not enjoyable, and it's frankly tiring, watching them game after game trying to cling on to a point, even against the mid-table teams. They need to get relegated, as much for their own sanity as for mine.

All a bit of a blur I know but Robbie Nielsen was the Craig Levein era. Very forgettable times  

Nope. Pearson signing...

Mincing about on the ice shouldn't be in the Olympics anyway.

Master negotiator. Always gets value for money...

She has no interest in football whatsoever now.

Just like Top.

Impressive as some of them are, sports where the result is decided by subjective opinions can get in the bin.

The two rookies on the left side of the Pats' offensive line are a bit lightweight. Keep getting walked back into Maye's lap.

Amazing there hasn't been a flag thrown yet.

They'll wait until a crucial play in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter.

New England's defense is pretty good too. They can keep this close.

I'm sure Liverpool fans will somehow claim that the goal being disallowed cost them, that the motivation would have seen them score 3 in 30 seconds 

In a sense it has as they'll now be without Szoboszlai for their next game.

I think we'll have enough to beat Bristol City or Newcastle.

I'm not so sure. Palace wiped the floor with us in the League Cup, and Billiard and Passmore have only made the squad much worse since.
