The South Coast Derby is just two weeks away. I found this article in the 2 November 1901 edition of the Echo and it amused me:
‘Whenever the Saints and Portsmouth oppose each other the sparks fly…
1/5

Carli Lloyd was 39 when she retired from USWNT duty. Rapinoe, 38. Sauerbrunn, 39.
England are losing Earps, 32 and Kirby, 31. Daly left the #Lionesses at 32.
It's vital England reflect on that.
Comment piece for @theguardian.com on that, plus Bright's bravery.

Bright has made a brave decision, but are England doing enough to support their stars?
World Cup captain’s withdrawal is a serious wake-up call to the sport, and leaves questions for coach Sarina Wiegman over loss of three key players

With my Saints glasses firmly on, that both Rendell & Stenson are getting mentioned feels like the only possible (future) positive from this wholly depressing turn of events..
Fun problem for Sarina in that Hampton slots into the no.1 but she doesn’t have a clear backup (or third choose), Keating, Moorhouse, Thomas, Rendell, Bentley, Baggaley, Ramsey, Laws and Stenson have a combined zero caps
