The Lipster

Arsenal Ladies have won the FA Women's Cup for a record ninth time in a row, smashing Leeds United 4-1.Yet despite the fact that the match was played to a crowd of 24,000 – at Nottingham Forest's City Ground – the FA still refuse to host the FA Women's Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, where the Men's final and play-offs are held.

Ex-England goalkeeper and Portsmouth footballing wonderboy David James had a rant about the fact that women's football isn't taken half as seriously as the men's game in this weekend's Observer. James sagely noted that though the England women's team were finally invited to join the Professional Footballer's Association this year, they weren't given a heads-up at their Footballer of the Year dinner and also pointed out that women who work in football are often dismissed as "bimbos" and "wannabe WAGS".

"Football should be a game for all, so why are football magazines in the 'men's lifestyle' section of the news stands?" added James. "Why are the only women in them scantily dressed downloads for your mobile? Football is a force for good so why don't more men's clubs become genuine community clubs and serve their communities regardless of gender?"

Feminist footballers, eh? More of these please.
