Any idea when WSL fixtures come out ?
Its now less days until the start of the season than it was when the fixtures came out last year
McCabe suspended? Surely not!

I loved Tim’s piece (can’t remember where) where he said that Ben White was just an amateur compared with Katie when it comes to shithousery!
