    So Tim Stillman says that the US women's soccer team deserve wage parity with their

    male counterparts because they win more than the men () and now bring in more revenue too.

    After about 5 minutes of looking into that highly dubious claim, I point out that the revenue figures he cites don't *actually* include sponsorship or TV revenue, which if they did would still put the men's game way ahead.

    His response? He unfollows me on Twitter

    I blocked and reported him on twitter when he kept banging on about chick's football, on the grounds that he must be a sexual deviant to get excited about birds playing football.

    You could argue that positioning yourself as an authority on the women's game is a helluva a shrewd move financially speaking, given that affirmative action is likely to give birds' football a huge boost over the coming years.

    Well yes, but how fúcking depressing must it be, watching that shít and pretending it matters?

    Christ, even for a soulless, money-motivated Jesus-killer like yourself, the thought of living such a lie must be difficlut to imagine?

    Nah. He'll just get replaced by some dykey bird nobody's ever heard of who used to play for the Doncaster Belles or something.

    During the world cup, I got in trouble with the wife for pointing out that having some broad on the panel talking about top-flight men's football was the equivalent of getting me in to do punditry on test matches. She could have no insight into what these games were like, since the football she plays is utter dogshìt by comparison. It was tokenism of the worst sort.

    That doesn't work I'm afraid, otherwise it would be impossible to become a manage unless you have played the game, so whu does a pundit have to have played the game to a certain level? You have a number of ex internationals at all sports who seem to know diddly squat about what they are talking about

    Bit harsh on yourself there, Burney. Didn't you once get 70 or so in Shamley Green?

    In middle age I was a decent and destructive club batsman. In my youth I was a very good club/league batsman and a bang average County Colts player. None of these qualifies me to speak with authority on telly about the pressures or experience of playing test cricket. Same goes for some bird talking about playing in the World Cup.
