Tottenham Hotspur Women

[Nutter-Naylor]

Have they changed their name to Tottenham Women?

Apprently 'Ladies' is sexist as it implies a certain type of demeanour, ie, ladylike = appropriate for or typical of a well-bred, decorous woman or girl.

Why that is offensive i am not really sure.

Ladies & Gentlemen has a nice ring to it in my opinion. A bit nicer than Birds & Blokes.

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

Admin Should change the thread title i suppose.

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

Should be called Tottenham Hotspur Yiddettes anyway.

The sport is only going to improve if we actively take an interest in it. It'll then get the investment it desperately needs. If the improvement in quality from now to 2023 is the same as it was from 2015 to this year then it'll be decent.

It's up to us, lads!

Chelsea game on BBC red button.

I will probably do the BHA away game at Crawley 2pm Sunday 23rd Feb if anyone local fancies it.station

It is a bit of a distance from Crawley station unfortunately but there is a bus (Fastway 10) every 7 minutes - not sure about Sundays though!

So NLD going to be at the new Lane. Amazing!

Probably the first one there too, barring an early draw against them in the League Cup

 

[Habanero]

This would probably be my best chance ever to see a NLD, but I won't bother.

So I guess we can't say Spurs Dorises then?

There's a guy at work who refers to any woman as "girl", whether she's in her early twenties or late thirties.
I think it's just his old school lingo as well (he's nearly 50)

I use it (Girl) occaisionally but only to people i know well. It is probably offensive to someone but not intended to be.

But women can have "a night out with the girls" even though they're all middle aged.

And I can go out with "the boys" even though I'm 40. But if someone in a work environment called me boy, it would be very off-putting.

You mean it's all about context? Dirty word in social media circles ;-)

 

[Mrs Perryman]

That's exactly the point. I should think anyone of a certain age would love to be called a girl/boy if said in a complimentary way. People get offended by the most innocuous remarks these days.

Free ticket for every member/season ticket holder for the Chelsea game at Stamford bridge on Sunday 8th Sept 12:30 K.O. Me and 5 mates have applied, should be a good laugh.
