I have to add Arsenal's women's team to our Favourites list to be followed. They are the European champions after all, so it would be rude not to.
Yesterday they started the new Womens Super League season with a resounding victory over WSL newcomers London City Lionesses. It's often said that, when you've been most successful as a sports team, you strengthen even more. If you rest on your laurels, your competitors will make their own improvements and you'll be in danger of stagnating. Arsenal won the Womens Champions League at the end of last season and they have strengthened, most notably making the first £1 million transfer in women's football history by signing19yo Canadian superstar Olivia Smith, who proceeded to justify the fee with an amazing long range goal to get the Gunners going after falling behind to a penalty.
Elsewhere, Wycombe Wanderers hauled themselves out of the relegation zone in League One with a 2-0 win over mid-table Mansfield.
No other club matches for our favourites as it's a tedious international break exemplified by England's struggling win against minnows Andorra. Need to do better.
