	There appears to be some sort of snobbery directed against ladies’ football in this country. I believe it to be completely unfounded, and have been saying for years that the style of play is as good as anything you’ll see elsewhere. Come along and see for yourself. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The last home game of the 2008/2009 season. Note: picture 0361 is an alleged ‘incident’ that led to Arsenal being awarded a VERY generous penalty.
An away game towards the end of the 2008/2009 season against Doncaster Rovers Belles.
The FA Cup Final of the 2008/2009 season against Sunderland, played at Pride Park, Derby.
In the midst of a wintry November, the Sun came out, and ALFC took on Sunderland at home in the Premier League. Result: 5 - 1.
March 2010: The ladies bow out of the EUFA Champions League at the Quarter-Final stage against the current title holders, FCR Duisburg.
The FA Cup Final of the 2009/2010 season against Everton, played at the City Stadium, Nottingham. For once, AFCL lost, so they’ll have to content themselves with just the two trophies this season.
A chance to show off the trophies, with a Premier League match at Highbury. Another reminder of what the men should be doing.
The last Premier League match of the 2009/2010 season, and possibly the last Premier League match ever, played at Arsenal’s training ground in London Colney.
May 2011:Another FA Cup Final. The ladies get back to their winning ways at The Ricoh Arena in Coventry, beating Bristol Academy 2 - 0.
AFCL play Doncaster Rovers Belles in an FA WSL (Women’s Super League) match in their penultimate match of the WSL season. Just before kick-off, results elsewhere confirmed AFCL as leage champions.
The WSL is essentially a Summer tournament, whilst all the other tournaments, e.g. the cups, appear to remains as they were. Most confusing! Added to which, the 2012 WSL season was interrupted for The Olympic Games, and this year, in 2013, the interruption will be for the European Championship. Anyway, this album is for a match in the 2013 season for the 2012/13 EUFA Champions League, in which AFCL played ASDD Torres, winning 3 - 1 (aggregate 4 - 1). (20th March 2013)
March 2016: AFCL v. Notts County Ladies in the Quarter Final of the Women’s FA Cup. The score was 2-2 at the end of normal time, with no change at the end of extra time. AFCL won the penalty shoot-out 4-2.
