VILLA WINNER AT WEMBLEY; OSSIE'S KNEES ARE TREMBLEY-La La La La

Today is the day of the Ladies Cup Final,being played between Arsenal and Chelsea at Wembley . Over 30,000 tickets have been sold and the noise of young ladies in the crowd, who will be in the majority I guess, will bring back the days of the Schoolboys' Internationals held at Wembley before the FA decided, in 2000, that games from the "community" were no longer apppropriate for the national stadium. Over 53,000 saw the first international between England Scotland in 1950.

The Ladies Cup Final last season played at Wembley for the first time, showcased the delightful goal scored by Ji So-Yun of Chelsea after a mazey run by Eniola Aluko and 30,710 people witnessed a tense 1-0 victory over Notts County.
Chelsea were managed by Emma Hayes and Notts County by Rick Passmoor! Just thought you should know that.

The mazey run by Aluko down the left side of the screen (pitch) and then pounced upon by So-Yun lurking in the left hand side of the goal area is recorded here,

The sequence and the goal reminded me of the historic Ricardo Villa goal scored for Tottenham Hotspur in the 1981 FA Cup Final replay on May 14th v Manchester City. Here is 8 minutes of Ossie Ardiles and Ricky remembering the moment 25 years ago (TV date 2006). The match was a cracker 1-0 up after 8 mins, 1-1 (what ever happened to Steve MacKenzie?), 1-2 down (pen Kevin Reeves), 2-2 (who scored after 70 mins? see video), then the winner 76 mins. Watch the interview below.
