Thank you for posting the scores justme!


From BBC:

Bristol City 2-4 Sunderland

Sunderland seemed to be on their way to a comfortable victory after scoring two early goals.
Donna Lanaghan headed them in front after just three minutes,
then eight minutes later Jill Scott beat the offside trap to double the lead.
But the home side quickly hit back,
Helen Bleazard reducing the arrears with a 10 yard shot in the 13th minute.
Holly Miles levelled the scores from a 33rd minute penalty
following a foul on Angie Tinson, who went close herself with 40th minute shot that struck the bar.
The Black Cats regained the lead through Mel Reay's 54th minute goal,
the striker racing past two defenders to score.
And the visitors wrapped up a satisfying win
when Lanaghan shot home her second goal three minutes into stoppage time.


Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

Chelsea had the better of the first half
and deservedly led at the interval through captain Laura Cooper's goal following a 21st minute corner.
But the home side bounced back after the break and Danielle Sheen forced in the equaliser
after a moment of indecision in the Chelsea defence.

The second leg of each tie is set for next Sunday.

Already promoted to the National Division,
which next season will contain 12 rather than 10 teams, are Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City.

I was at Prescot yesterday, i ll put a report later cos my boss is watching me but it was a poor game honestly.

Great! I can't wait to read your report,
even if it was a poor game

I was going to go to the 2nd leg Chelsea v L'pool next Sunday
but it turns out now that I won't be able to
Anyone else going?

Yes we're going to the 2nd Leg Chelsea v Liverpool - it's at the training ground not hampton, is that right? Do you know what time KO is?

I'm afraid the kick-off hasn't been announced yet
but keep an eye on this thread, we'll post the info as soon as we know something

And it's at Chelsea's training ground, yes.

Intrigued to know why it was poor! Wouldn't mind going to the 2nd leg hmmm...got to see what i'm doing ha ha ha!!

Anyone to give me a lift to Chelsea's training ground I do not drive and the public transport in those area must not be the best ?

As far as I could find, there are direct trains every hour
departing from London Waterloo. Journey time ~ 50 minutes

Here is my report .

Well, being used to Arsenal ladies quality football, it was a big drop in term of spectacle and skills.
The pitch was not really in good shape to be fair. But I had to take 3 trains to get there, that's why I was a little miffed with the performance.

So it was a lot of long balls, lost possession in the middle of the park. Credit to Chelsea for using its winger, what I saw was a lot of commitment, but a lack of class and vision. Both goals came from set pieces and defending mistakes.

I was impressed by Caz Collie Golkeeping skills , she has a very good technique alos she let in a bad goal as she missed a punching clearance.

I ams still looking forward to sund'ays game as it is addciting to watch ladies football games.

Thanks for the report mate
- and don't tell me about addiction to women's footie, I know all about it

I know my friend call me a sad perv

Hmm... I dunno what to say to that

Anyone know what is the adress of Chelsea's training ground, I need to find it on my A to Z and my way from th train station ?

And from one sad perve to another - this is the address you want mate:

Chelsea Football Club
Training Ground
62 Stoke Road
Cobham
Surrey
KT11 3PT

oh dear

Cheers it is not easy for a frenchie to find my way into england 's public transport and road

Ignore her mate

And, as you don't drive, I can't suggest you ask Agent S to navigate.
But, if you did, she'd probably take you through Kingston, as I see the postcode of the ground is that area. In which case, I'd suggest you stay at home

I do not know yetif I go on sunday , I am going to Paris for the day tomorrow.
I might end up knackered after a return trip to the most beautiful city in the world.

I hope you realise you are a little late for the big game in Paris matey

Still no KO time! Any ideas who we can contact to find out? Also a little worried it might be rained off, like to be able to check before we set off from Brigton!

fairgame are normally the quickest to get something up, i always check there to see if matches are pp or something like that! You could try e-mailing them, but i don't know how long they usually take to reply at such short notice!! Best of luck anyway

I check their site a few times a day
- don't worry - as soon as I get the k-o and stuff,
I'll post here

Unless I'm out and can't do it

Come on Chelsea Girls!!
