Women's football is poor compared to the men's, the Aluko story is her own making and stinks of sour grapes, let's play the race card and stir up rubbish because I cannot accept not getting picked.
Women's football will never be as successful and well attended as the men's game - deal with it in your own PC fantasy world.
Kane is a quality player but sad fact is unless you are playing for one of the believed "European Elite" he will not win even if he's banging in 40+ a season.
Fifa has its chosen elite and its own agenda they already have their winner, may be Kane one day if he moves to Eg Real, sad but football politics.
Let's abolish men's football and put the girlies top of the list and top for stories in your view, if that was the case what a boring place football would be.
Poor technical ability, poor attendances, poor atmosphere, lack of interest - welcome to women's football is that PC for you sweetie.
some boring stuff about womens football blah blah blah
get a grip bbc
nobody cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pep will win nothing as he won nothing, quadruple this season Geektroll you should be a comedian.
Try growing an extra brain cell to two this will still be more than the amount of trophies City win.
The women's game is boring, slow, not one of them takes it seriously they're more worried about smudging their make up.
Next you'll tell it is correct that women tennis players deserve the same prize money for playing 3/5 as long. Let's face it, it's cut short rightfully because it's so damn dull, not because the ladies aren't physically up to it.
Women's football is poorer quality and has a lack of interest compared to men's it's simple poorer quality gets rewarded with less cost - have a word with yourself and deal with it.
stubborn regarding bravo who was hopeless
couldn't manage a club without a massive advantage
Alan Ball with a massive chequebook!
What part didn't you understand, and I'll try femspeak this time.
