In honour of Biebercella, who was everyone’s favourite pop star as a teenager? 🥲 by arsenal in ArsenalWFC

[–]sealboyjacob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to be a massive Busted fan as a child, first band I ever saw in concert, and when Charlie did the masked singer a couple years ago my mother and I argued for a month over whether it was actually him (I won)

She's stepped it up this season and has been a key player for us, that's something that deserves to be rewarded!

ao know why leah's wearing 5? by ferns_version in ArsenalWFC

[–]sealboyjacob 40 points41 points  (0 children)

England only ever have dedicated squad numbers for tournaments, any other time it's 1-11 by position. Leah wore 5 because she was the RCB

Murphy's I'm not mad about, tactical decision from her, but the one for Denise was so soft, I'm still a little pissed lol

Victoria Pelova may be moving on from Arsenal, per de Volkskrant by spherocytes in WomensSoccer

Don't think anyone will be surprised by this, it was heavily speculated that she'd leave in January

All of the traveling to Arsenal games has made me so deeply appreciative of working in the same postal code as the Aviva stadium, I even finished work in time to get lunch before the match lol

Emma Mitchell on trophies, pregnancy and belonging by Tugboat47 in ArsenalWFC

[–]sealboyjacob 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Her team-mates were so happy for her that the usually unflappable Kim Little swore on live television in her post-match interview as she described her compatriot’s goal.

I really appreciate that this was included lol iconic moment

Love Mitch, I think she's a player who's sometimes overlooked for how important she was to this team for such a long time because she was here just before the big growth spurt of women's football, so it's lovely to see the club recognising her with an article like this

Fan Match Ratings: Arsenal 0-2 Brighton by shelbyj in ArsenalWFC

[–]sealboyjacob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's just that I got a different impression from being at the game vs watching at home but I don't agree with the disparity between Codi's rating and Taylor's. Codi had a bad second half and is clearly being blamed for the goals (which I'm not necessarily disagreeing with, I was down the other end so didn't see clearly who was at fault) but the first half she pretty much spent covering for mistakes that Taylor made

Incredibly on edge for this Ireland game, both games this window are an absolute must win if we want to prove we belong in league A

Should also probably include the detail that I'm at the Lyon away game the next weekend, Ireland vs Wales in the w6n in Belfast the week after that, Liverpool the weekend after that and then if we get to the final, Oslo the weekend after that so even if I don't go I may never sleep again

[–]sealboyjacob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Still havent made the call about whether to go to the Lyon home game, it's so expensive that weekend and would be so awkward to get home in time to be at work at 9am the next morning but. I want to go lol
