Arseblog: Real Madrid Femenino v Arsenal Preview

4:45am kickoff for me :(

I decided to look up the stats and Stina is top of the league in offsides per 90. Alessia and Beth not far behind.

My observation to add to yours, is that I love Mariona’s style of play. I find her great to watch. Also Emily Fox’s play is also so assured. I read her injury probably isn’t too bad. 🤞

We’re playing Real Madrid (͡•_ ͡• )

Wow, that is a really crap thing to happen.

Sam Merson, son of the former (Arsenal) footballer Paul Merson, scored an ‘outrageous’ goal, via The Guardian.

Wearing the Martinelli 11 shirt, today.

Haven’t had a chance to watch the replay of PSV, yet.

Having read about the PSG - LIV game, I cannot believe how jammy that win sounds!

I love how Arteta says in a post-match interview, “that’s the beauty of football. You put your head down, be humble, and analyse how you can improve.”

Time to give Butler-Oyedeji and Kabia a start in the return leg.

“first team in UEFA Champions League history to score 7+ goals away from home in a knockout stage match.”

This guarantees it will be a terrible 0-0 draw at Old Trafford 🤣

It’s great shite great being an Arsenal supporter. 🔴⚪️ 🎢

Five star performance

Six of the best

Seventh heaven

I’m listening to the audio feed and enjoying Gabriel’s unmistakable Wilhelm Screams.

There might be some ratings coming in after this one, @Astrealix@lemmy.world

Exciting times. I tuned in during the 97th minute and quickly rewound to see what had a happened. A win’s a win.

We have a weekend off from agonising about an Arsenal men’s game. What are you all planning to do?

It’s summer here, so going to take advantage of nice weather and go for a bike ride, myself.

Hoping that the women can “hammer” WHU, for when I wake up on Monday morning to catch up on it.

Despite the fact that I should know better, I keep thinking about this moment. It was less than a minute after Partey replaced Ødegaard.

Ugh! I didn’t realise that.

Good plan. Extracting the maximum amount of joy, when we can, is an imperative. Conversely, not getting beat up about the disappointments of something we have no control over, is wise.
