And could put in a cross of that quality with the last free kick of the game.Get the feck in. Champions League almost there. If only our lads had some of the mental strength of our ladies...

Including the manger running on to the pitch in celebration!Shades of Steve Bruce’s header against Wednesday in 1993…
Neither was the one when our goal was disallowed. Karma. (I thought she had a second nibble for our free kick).I can say that now but it was never a free kick
Definitely.Should sign Daly
Mind-blowing that she plays striker for club and LB for country.Should sign Daly
It's about holding our nerve. Think they will after what has happened tonight. The tricky one is City. Make sure they don't lose.Seven points from our last three and it’s mathematically impossible for Arsenal to catch us. Six points and they can draw level, goal difference +10 in our favour at the moment.
Spurs (H)
City (H)
Liverpool (A)
Arsenal still have to go to Chelsea while City's goal difference is significantly worse than ours. Beat Spurs and Liverpool or just draw with City and beat one of them and we will surely make the top 3, it may be that 4 points even with a loss to City would be enough. They should be thinking about the title now they've got through 2 very tough games with 2 wins, aim to win the 3 games and hope Arsenal do them a favour.Seven points from our last three and it’s mathematically impossible for Arsenal to catch us.

CL football and a good budget we should be able to boost this squad even more. It also depend what happens with Battle and Russo.Arsenal still have to go to Chelsea while City's goal difference is significantly worse than ours.

I think Russo could be replaced if the budget was there although obviously it'd be great to keep her, it's difficult to see how this team doesn't get worse if we lose the quality that Batlle provides. She's pretty unique in the attacking output she provides while still being a solid defender.CL football and a good budget we should be able to boost this squad even more.

They were at Villa's stadium in Walsall - crowd was over 4000 - not great, but solid progress compared to last year for the Villa team.What a shame they can’t fill leigh sports village for games like this.

yeah, it’s getting better but we need to get to the level where we’re filling it consistently. It would be amazing if in the future we could have our own ground for the womens team. Is there a womens team in europe that has their own small stadium? also I think we should sign daly, she is brilliant!They were at Villa's stadium in Walsall - crowd was over 4000 - not great, but solid progress compared to last year for the Villa team.
LSV crowds are improving steadily. The Arsenal match was sold out but the move to mid-week cost them a couple of thousand in terms of people actually showing up. Earlier in the season we we had a good crowd for the Liverpool match - that was the first time we opened up the North stand (the standing area behind the goal).
Our last home match of the season is against City and that's sold out now. We're getting closer to filling the LSV.

On current form it doesn’t make sense to drop Galton or Parris for her.Great game of football. Well done ladies. What resilience.
Play Toone wide right now because she’s not creating enough through the middle.
Russo suffering a similar dip in form for me.
Not sure how Mannion starts ahead of Turner.
Villa’s rough tactics kept them in the game but United were relentles.
Batlle, Blundell, Zelem, Ladd, Galton, Parris all class tonight.
Agree regarding Galton / Parris.On current form it doesn’t make sense to drop Galton or Parris for her.
Two goals in her last two games. A brilliant save from the Villa keeper away from making it three in three.
Mannion was simply immense against Arsenal. Player of the match by some distance.
"I don't think my heart can take any more of that!" United manager Marc Skinner told BBC Three after the game. "Look, first half we were not good enough.
"We didn't raise the intensity and Villa were all over us. We played into their hands, we tried to play a style of football rather than the game itself. Second half we addressed that.
"With this team we find a way, and we found a way again tonight."
Can we keep Russo and do that thoughShould sign Daly
Yeah due to those dropped points in Everton game we can't afford to draw against City if we want to keep pressure on ChelseaArsenal still have to go to Chelsea while City's goal difference is significantly worse than ours. Beat Spurs and Liverpool or just draw with City and beat one of them and we will surely make the top 3, it may be that 4 points even with a loss to City would be enough. They should be thinking about the title now they've got through 2 very tough games with 2 wins, aim to win the 3 games and hope Arsenal do them a favour.
