Saw the arsenal women on weds v spurs, and orient vs tranmere yesterday and it made for an interesting comparison.
I'm no football expert, but arsenal's game was much more fun to watch with umpteen goal attempts, slick passing and general action (even a couple of bustups).
Whereas orient game was much faster, more balls down the wings, but far less goal chances and generally pretty dull.
Maybe I'm coloured by the fact 'my'team won on weds but lost yesterday, but given orient cost me 20 and arsenal, 12, I know which was better value for money.
Pretty similar crowd sizes - arsenal's marginally louder.
I have a feeling orient's men would be more skillfully than arsenal's women if they were allowed to play that way, but it would be great to see the two teams play each just to see what happened.
Sorry if this is dull or lacking insight - just sharing my football 3xpeirences of the week!
Edit: reading this back, I see I forgot to refer to Leyton Orient *men*. Forgive me, I'm old and crap. [Post edited 8 May 2022 13:11]

If they played each other it would probably be double figures to Orient, simply because of the physical advantage. I think the US women's team (then the world cup winners) got beaten by an u-16 boys team a few years ago for the same reason. |  | | |

Indeed.
Watch Arsenal women quite regularly at Borehamwood, always good entertainment.
Cost of entry is half the price of watching Borehamwood in the national league, they get three times the attendance and it’s far more entertaining |  |
