Missing the Football? - Page 2

Iin my opinion Hope Powell OBE should become Dame Hope Powell the amount of work she has done is phenomenal. Making her a dame would also symbolise the sacrifice and the work the rest of the girls put in and the team behind them.

Hope Powell and the England girls have football where it matters- in the heart. There are so many in football nowadays that only care for money and personal gain in all areas - including the press and media.

That's what makes Stanley so enjoyable because there are too many people to mention who have football in their heart. In my eyes that could alone take Stanley back to the league - and I dearly hope it will.

It's the same with this England women's side. They may not be the best but hopefully their spirit can lead them on. I hope they get as much support as possible on Saturday becuase they damn well deserve it.

OK - who are you & what have you done with Adam Cottier?

Ha Ha Ha!!! Nice one Accy Mad!!!

But as much as it galls me to say this i think he's right (who ever has userped adam!) Hope Powell has done nothing but good for raising the awareness of womens football in this country.

As most of you know I am an avid stanley fan and have been for the last 17 years, and there is only one thing that would top Stanley getting back in the league, and thats England Ladies winning the World Cup!!! For now it's the European championships, and a draw or a win on saturday at ewood park will put us into the semi-finals.

So come on and show your support, get yourself to ewood park buy yourself a ticket (£5 bargin) and enjoy!!!

Just one other point to make, England are the only country in the competition that do not have any proffessional teams in there national league. Just thought I'd throw that one in.

i've just got back from the press conference at Ewood they are all in good spirits. They really do want support though. It would be great if Ewood is full for them because that would probably constitute a 12th man as it did in their opening game. This is the biggest game they have ever known and it should be a cracking atmosphere again so if you've nothing to do do tomorrow get yourself to Ewood.
