I was the one on the pitch .. another bloke came for about 20 minutes probably from local paper.. but I was the only one at pitchside... Couple of hundred pics to go through so its gonna be late for mine...got to send some to thefa.com and womenssoccerscene first

Arsenal Ladies are a very good team why : because a good team still wins when it has a day off.
The game could have really turned wrong for Arsenal. Ciara scored on the 41st minute only, then Stockport equalised , I think the ref forgot to penalise a foul on Anita and the striker put a beautiful low shot away. Kelly then scored a screamer from outside the penalty area altough the goalie could have saved it in my view. Then Alex score from close range and Gemma got a dodgy penalty in the end that Kelly transformed.

Team Emma Alex Ciara Anita Mary Jayne Katie Kelly Lianne Julie Rachel

KATIE CHAPMAN & KELLY SMITH:


RACHEL YANKEY:

Thanks.. needed that

My pleasure. Hope I'm right

Nope you forgot Jayne congratulating Kelly after the penalty on the penultimate picture!

You can only see one of her eyes and half of her smile there

Actually she looks nice when she smiles because she was so angry for most of the game.

I think she just looks like that when she's focused.
Rachel Yankey for example, looks like she could murder someone, sometimes on the pitch
And in private she is very nice and pleasant
I think Jayne is like that too - she's very nice off the pitch too, but looks angry on it sometimes

Yes I have been told she is nice to the youngsters, unlike some other senior player who take the [beep!] of youngsters. Jayne is the medical officer at the academy so she knows them well.

According to FG mag Katie Chapman scored the first goal not Ciara That's what happens when goals are scored at the other side of the picth in a goalmouth scramble, wrong guess from me.

OK then, no problem, so it was:

Stockport 1-4 Arsenal

Goal 1: Katie Chapman
Goal 2: Stockport
Goal 3: Kelly Smith
Goal 4: Alex Scott
Goal 5: Kelly Smith

And I counted about 30 Arsenal supporters.

Only?

Maybe there were a few hidden

That's a lot for an away game. Some game I was the only one around from UK

And you're French

I live in UK lol apparently TWn has seen the goals on Sky Sports news
