Aston Villa Women 2022/23

[Steve67]

Blimey, 21 shots on target so far.  11-0 now.  Good stuff Villa.

[Exeter 77]

Finished 11-0

[Dave P]

Brilliant win. Sets us up for the inevitable draw of Chelsea away in the next round.

[BC54 VFC]

We are well into typing the amount of goals we have score territory

Aston Villa 10 (ten) AFC Fylde 0

Even though still playing, will this be a record win?

Unsure, but the 11-0 win equals the Super League scoring record set by Arsenal v Bristol City on 1st December, 2019, but that score was 11-1, and Vivianne Miedema scored 5, with our top scorer today being Rachel Daly (unsurprisingly!) with 4.

[Exeter 77]

AFC Fylde Women are in the Women's National League North which is effectively the third division and the same division as West Brom and, strangely, Boldmere St. Michaels.

[DeKuip]

2 short of our (mens) record score and Daly one short of equalling the mens five goals in a game record - pity she missed a penalty.

[Villa Lew]

Well done ladies, perhaps this is our year for The FA Cup after all.

I thought our record score was 11-0 against Charlton?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Men put 13 past Wednesbury (Old Athletic I think).

11-1; 14th November, 1959, with Gerry Hitchens scoring 5.

[BC54 VFC]

Men put 13 past Wednesbury (Old Athletic I think).

Correct, 13-0, FA Cup Round 1, 30th October, 1886. Can you tell I've got insomnia?

Well I've never heard that one. Nice one.

Ahh yes that's the one. I must must've left before Charlton scored 😁

[Risso]

It's absolute nonsense comparing scoring records in the men's and women's game. You don't see people in tennis comparing the number of grand slams Serena Williams won to Nadal for example. Even the BBC were at it a while ago, saying a women's player had broken Jimmy Greaves' scoring record for England. Completely ignoring the fact that the England Women's team have scored 80 goals with none conceded in their World Cup qualifying group, including beating Latvia by a combined 30-0 home and away.

At last some common sense. I really like watching the top level womens game as it has improved in quality immeasurably over recent years, but it is not comparable with the mens game and to think other wise is lunacy and is insulting to the womans game. They should be judged on their own merit
