Man Utd 'should have women's team'

potentially attractive women running round wearing united shirts. £#%&!ing hell it sounds horrible.

fact is you can slate women's football for its lack of quality or you can slate it for its increasing publicity. you can't have it both ways. if the standard is to improve then it needs investment; if it needs investment then it needs exposure. eventually it will become more commercially viable and better to watch.

it definitely needs exposure if it is to take off.

what point? the irrelevant whataboutery trying to make out that white men are hard done by because we haven't got a dedicated music award? or the pathetic attempt to make out like you're standing up against political correctness "gone mad"?

yes you're right, it's a free country. which means women can play football if they choose and can ask for united to make a team without idiotic simpletons such as yourself standing in their way.

Why should it be Uniteds investment? The media are using this as a stick to beat us with.

Who is actually missing out by United not having a women's team?

How can aspiring women's footballers be upset about not playing for a team that doesn't exist?

would have thought it made commercial sense, no? united already have a considerable support base in the areas where the women's game is most popular (namely the US and far east) so if nothing else a female team is simply a means of expanding that. there's some serious cash flying around already, especially in the states.

it's not all about money, damn it.

some things should just be about what's right.

My point was that, yet again, the media have found something with which to have another dig at United. FWIW I watched the women's WC semi out of curiosity and I thought it was utter shite, if the girl who put in the OG had been a fella her burning effigy would have hung from lampposts all around Upton Park, but no one cared, just like no one cared when Chelsea won the league, football is £#%&!ed 🍺🍺🍺

What the £#%&! are you on abou t"people like me standing in there way":shakehead:
I've said all along in this thread I'm not against a women's team but I am against the club being PC forced into having one because it's flavour of the month.

And you can quote that to all at the next WI meeting

Womens football is barely a step up from the Special Olympics. By all means let them have their little run arounds but don't blame all and sundry (men) when they get three figure turn-outs and everybody is pointing and laughing at them as they run into eachother, score own goals and go off during the game to change their tampons, the silly little girls.
