For some that was a highly contentious issue. Perhaps just as contentious was Widnes and Warrington going from Lancashire to Cheshire, and even more one of two places moving from Yorkshire to Lancashire. Going up the scale, in 1847 people went to bed in Mexico and woke up in the USA (Texas)
Some of you may know that I have a daughter that lives in the States - Atlanta to be exact. Just seen this: http://www.goal.com/en-in/news/atla...-attendance-record/1mleaif43yu8h13578mj1sq5ee They set a new MLS record of over 70,000 for a home game in their new stadium May have to find an excuse to go over now Also, ex Saint Kenwyne Jones plays for them.

Russia's sending off was very harsh. 4-0. Ref has totally killed any contest, well if there was any to start with.
Lucy Bronze is too damn good. It's like watching Van Dijk striding forwards out of defence she's that much better than everyone else.
Fran Kirby is a funny one, one minute she can spot a really clever assist, the next she can't complete a simple pass.I won't mention the penalty attempt.
England won 6-0. Good to see a decent crowd to support them. The whole team ran to hug their manager after the first goal to show support for him as he has been under pressure recently. He certainly looked moved by it.
Burnley-Leeds exciting game. Late penalty for Leeds appeared to win it, but free kick for Burnley in last minute (90 + 6) make it 2-2. Pleased for Palace. Beat Huddersfield 1-0.
Going out of this cup was a shame for our fringe players....some will find it hard to get much game time.
