Well the equal pay thing is bollocks. The standard-and worldwide interest-is nowhere near the men's game so why on earth should they be given equal pay? It'd be like a little-known actor demanding the same pay as Tom Cruise for being in a film with him. or something like that.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of watching it-nothing to do with gender at all it reminds me of schoolboy football-there's just not the same power and pace...and the 'keepers are shocking.

Having said that, I'm glad it's taking off-absolutely no reason it shouldn't. Funnily enough, I watched the BBC programme about the England women's team and Phil Neville comes across as a really canny bloke and a good advocate for the women's game.
