    A strange tweet - I applaud the growth in the womens game, both in terms of quality and numbers of people both playing and watching. But I fail to see any area where it currently is surpassing mens football.

    I know that this maybe an unpopular view - as the amount of abuse i have received in a short time on my my own twitter feed for stating this has proved.

    And I should point out that it was aimed at me as I am male, white and consider myself to be working class!

    Women's football certainly surpasses men's in terms of conversion rates for long-range shots towards the top corner

    This is the elephant in the room for so much of women's football: the average men's goalkeeper is 6ft+ (case in point, Hugo is 6'1" while Gazza is 6'3") while women's keepers are usually between 5'7" and 5'9" - and there's no getting around the fact that, by having them play in full-size goals, there's a much greater chance of them conceding a shot into the top corner because when they're between 4-6 inches shorter than Hugo, that's 4-6 inches less reach they have to keep the shot out

    Golly! I just found,in my football junk an ashtray showing the Spurs team of 1965 with trophy,after winning the Del Sol tournament. Laurie Brown,Derek Possee and Eddie Clayton among them. I believe they won it twice.

    I don't have any social media presence outside of this place. It seems to be mostly (entirely?) made up of dickheads.

    This w/e, Mrs B spent several hours dealing with social media fall-out stirred up by this twat on Twatter...

    It'll be back in the press soon enough as details of what happened come out as and when more of those involved are charged. Clarkson should just shut it. There was a very thorough investigation for very good reason.

    Except when the ball is high at the near post, then Hugo is more likely to concede than a 2'6" Dwarf wearing concrete flippers.

    Always very calm was Pat. But I did see him try to kick an opponent into the air. I wonder if it was against Leeds?

    I asked this woman if I could touch her hair and she said yes.
    So I ran my finger across her top lip and that's how the fight started.
