The Lionesses’ nail-biting win over Spain in the Euros was historic for all sorts of reasons.
They became the first England team to win a major football trophy on foreign soil, and the first senior English side to defend their title. Simply fabulous stuff.
And just when it couldn’t possibly get any more satisfying, along comes Joey Barton. You remember.
Well done to the Lioness winning the Nonsense Pottery Trophy.
Those penalties were borderline embarrassing again.
Don’t ever ask for equal pay again.
Youse are miles off it.

And the obvious pain and fury it caused embittered Barton prompted no end of A++ comebacks (you can read a whole lot more over here) …
Sad man can’t accept women have done something the men have never achieved
Speaks volumes

No one’s forcing you to be interested in women’s sport. This obsession with performatively attacking it is the most pathetic behaviour imaginable. https://t.co/zjwyyoTpbg

I actually feel sorry for you trying to stay relevant by being an asshole online

… but we reckon this one surely knocked the rest right out of the park.
Mental how you’ve been to court more times than you’ve been to Wembley during your playing career
