Really enjoyed the game yesterday. I was a little frustrated at the ref, however, it seems to be that way for the wsl and eds games. The officials don't bother punishing obvious fouls and certain yellows, it's like they have been told to be lenient.

I thought we were much the better team and I couldn't believe arsenal took off their main danger player. She caused all kind of problems with her pace and strength.

I like the look of Ross. She is a pacey and feisty character who will do well. Duggan looked a little rusty to me but was still pivotal in earning the 1st goal and a great penalty for the second.

Thanks Sis, no links with the Arse then. Must be just an editorial decision.

I hope Ross becomes a good key player but until yesterday I wondered why the hell we had brought her in. After seeing her first few games I was still waiting for her to do something right and yesterday I saw some good signs. Nice goal it was but there were other things in her running and hold up play that augured well even if she still seems a little lightweight and with a very inconsistent first touch.

Izzy is out for 2 months according to the OS. That's a big blow.

I enjoyed the game too. Big improvement from the first season. Thought Jill Scott was immense in the midfield. I was really impressed by her. MOM for me, or WOM ;-)
