I would love nothing more than to have a Southampton FC female side running alongside the football club. I would like to know the clubs thoughts on this, but never get a reply.
I do have to film Womenâs football matches, and you may mock but the skill level isnât bad and they get stuck in
Darling fascist bully boy,
Give us a womenâs team, you bastard.
May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman.
Sfcsim.
Theyâre planning for it. Thereâs a section on the new website about it.

Nobody expects it to be as good as the premiership .
My point , which you seem unable to address is this . I am all for equality &chicks doing what they want when they want & getting paid the same as blokes for the same job . However , subsidising their football is not equality and is in fact condescending to them . Real equality is womenâs football standing on its own two feet . If it canât then itâs unsustainable. They seem to want their cake & eat it . Want to be treated as equals , but want menâs football to subsidise them .
Why did the Southampton ladies team go down the tubes when Rupert Lowe was in charge ?
At some stage during the 80âs and 90âs they were actually quite good and won some trophyâs.
Ok, by the same token you are against, letâs say, pumping money and resources into the education system in deprived areas (eg East London) to help kids achieve better life outcomes than they would have otherwise, because they should stand on their own two feet?
Or would you stop funding education about FGM because itâs all about âchicksâ.
The list of reasons why things / causes deserve to be supported, financially or otherwise, is endless.
Youâre confusing Government money with private money . If the Government want to plough money into birds playing football as this will have health benefits & maybe society benefits thatâs one thing . Provided men get the same money , Iâm all for that . What Iâm not all for is womenâs terrible football expecting the menâs game to subsidise them . There are plenty of commercial deals in womenâs sport , tennis , golf, beach volleyball. Thatâs because these sports are interesting and skillful and its worth investing in. Chick football is not ,thatâs why theyâre skint . I wouldnât expect West Ham to provide a kit for The Dog & Duck , why should they provide one for a chicks team?
âbirdsâ and âchicksâ?

I actually prefer Danny Dyer to Duckhunter. Which is almost unfathomable.

Danny Dyer is Lord Dâs hero.
I guess,that Dyer is not a man-chick though because I suspect the only thing Lord D would have to say after Danny had cooked his dinner is âget up them stairsâŚâ
Something positive, this is a huge step in the right direction.
You could have the woman Saints playing before the the men kick off. (Ok the pitch is the concern), but I know many will still stay on in the pub, but many families will come and watch the women first. In the end people will want to pay to come and watch the female team. It is all about the development and winning people over.

I love how this is a put-down and a pun at the same time.

Heâs a sexist twat , no hero of mine .
i know you metro sexual trendies are right on and progressives but I am surprised you havenât grasped the simple fact that it is not empowering chicks to let them latch onto the menâs game . Letting the pretty little things run around before the proper game is far more sexist than saying " when youâre good enough to draw decent attendances ,and attract sponsorship , then weâll talk about it". The women golfers donât get patronised by being allowed to play just before the open , they have their own separate event . The only women I want to see on the pitch pre game are some fit cheer leaders

Sfcsim - excellent news.
Letâs all pause while LordD goes into an apoplectic rage that Saints are developing young âchicksâ for the highest levels of the womenâs gameâŚthink of all that money wasted that could have been put back into the menâs gameâŚ
