Whilst the Men are in a bit of a pickle right now, good the see the Ladies lifting our spirits.

Got my Red Button Buzzword Bingo card ready. Last time I forced myself to watch Albion Ladies, commentator, er, commentated that 'Brighton are tiring now' about five minutes into the second half

0-4 done well to keep it down to that.
They are improving but do look some way off. I wonder how much has been invested compared to the others. Obviously TB is investing in their training facilities but our players do not appear the same class. To me some of the coaching leaves a lot to be desired as basic defending set up isn't being done, the second goal a perfect example of not having the awareness of what is going on.

She'll be moaning about VAR again and not first class ref's in her game. Lets be honest though given the standard of the football being equivalent to men's County Two level, they typically have to put up with a 50+ overweight arthritic bloke who can just about run round the centre circle, so she should stop getting all high and mighty and be happy just how much investment is being put in the women's game.

Was always going to be a tough game against the league leaders who had too much class for Brighton this afternoon in front of a crowd of over 1300.
Think early goal blew any potential confidence we might have taken into the game and we gave them too much respect for the first 30 minutes in particular. Arsenal passing was much slicker than ours and generally found a teammate which is more than could be said for ours, especially when they pressed us. They did look a bit vulnerable when we pressed them, but we didn't have enough to keep it up for long periods which is what was required. Would've been nice to have at least one shot on target too but not to be.
With the other teams around us all losing (at time of writing anyway) its not as bad an afternoon as it looks and we'll just have to put this result behind us and move on to Man Utd away in the cup on Wednesday and West Ham away next Sunday. My player of the match was Victoria Williams at the back.
UTA!

It was advertised as being on BBC.
I was away, highlights are up, Arsenal clinical finishing, however, their first goal Barton was just out muscled for the ball, and the last goal was a defending disaster for us.

We have a cup game prior to West Ham away, a game we have a chance to take points in.
