Breaking: Slegers spotted in something other than Arsenal trackies! 📷: Paul Harding

Lisbon’s Jose Alvalade’s pitch the same size as the Emirates pitch. Which is good, because those bigger pitches seem to suit us.

Makes sense because I reckon they’ll be down to about seven players left by then

think it's obvious Daph is the better keeper, but Manu's been badly let down by some bad luck and by some horrendous defending in front of her.

As a coach with a wealth of experience, de Reus was expected to do well. She’s leaving after just one season in charge. Broke it down for @thehalfwayline.bsky.social 👇

Arsenal losing at home and needing to go to France and turn things around in a Champions League semi final second leg? We know it can be done

For whoever lives in or is visiting the Netherlands, very much welcome at Bar Buka in Amsterdam. Kickoff 6pm

Want to know a bit more about one of the teams in the Vrouwen Eredivisie? 👇 Happy to contribute to the Halfway Line!

Had surgery today and I’m in pain 👍🏼

Have had confirmation that Bar Buka are also showing the return match on April 27th. Would be lovely to see a good amount there too!

@leothoughts.bsky.social and I thought how nice it would be to watch with fellow Gooners in Amsterdam. Well, I contacted a bar and they were willing to open 3,5 hrs before their usual opening to show the game. 40+ Gooners showed up. Amazing. Now my introvert ass needs 4 days to recover.
