    So the women's premier league fixtures have been released, Portsmouth begin with a trip to Cardiff, potentially the most difficult (or second most difficult) match of the season. Nice.

    Who do you think will win the Premier League this season? Will Southampton Saints gain promotion?

    It's a lovely place to visit. I used to go once a year with an old job.

    Audacious pen from Joe Hart vs Roma, followed by an equally audacious save - recovering from diving to get back up and claw away the dinked pen - to win the match.

    Am hearing from a few Liverpool friends of mine that Clyne is a legend (their words), and that he shows how bad the rest of their defence is.

    So I went to my first ever WSL game. A game between Reading and Chelsea, at the home of football (in North Hampshire). My hopes weren't that high because I was attending more due to having something to do other than Hogwarts assignments than a particular desire to see either team, however the game turned out to be very entertaining. Chelsea in particular played some excellent football. Not even in a good football for women sense but in good football in general sense. Not like two passes and then hoof, but keeping the ball on the ground. A couple of times I counted how many passes there were before they lost the ball, and it reached 9 passes. They also used things like dummies and lay-offs pretty effectively. The final score was 3-2, and as a neutral I was just glad that it was an entertaining match. Seriously, if you doubt the standard of women's football, watch a Chelsea match. The quality on show was excellent, and if Portsmouth (men) played as nice football, I'd be a very happy person.

    World Cup Qualifying draw for 2018 takes place today. Only reason I care is due to Wales being in the top 9 in the World rankings they are in pot one with the big boys and will get a decent draw.
