Had a lovely chat with Simi Awujo about: • adjusting to professional football • having Jayde Riviere as a friend to lean on • improving her game • Man United’s ambitions for next season Read all about it here 👇🏻🇨🇦

I signed up to do next year’s Edinburgh 5k. I have no prior running experience but I’m taking it very seriously so I went to the gym this morning for the first time in ages and am now DEAD.

A confusing decision was at the root of the Netherlands’ performance at this EUROs.

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.

Hope Jorgi is okay

Ffs

MLS recovery pace 😍

Nice goal. Believe women.

Excellent work from Deccers. Just a shame the ball didn’t get put in the net… 🥴

Forgot Trossard was even on the pitch

Kieran!

Hoping we play at home or away in London on the first weekend because Eurostar = booked ✅✅

Not a pen at all.

Should have squared that to Ethan

Hi! We are once again doing our annual April fundraiser for the Arsenal Foundation. Last year you all raised £435,109 for the Arsenal Foundation and, more specifically, the Za'atari Refugee Camp in Jordan www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRSn...

Organizing that watch party for the Lyon game in Amsterdam.. have no idea how many people might show up and that’s so scary. Could be sitting there with just my friends (which is nice!) but could also turn out into a Project X…

He's perfect

WHO ELSE. Welcome back!

Nederlanders! Bar Buka is kind enough to open their doors early on the 19th of April for the Arsenal - Lyon UWCL game. Let’s get together and cheer the girls on! Bar Buka opens 13:15, match starts at 13:30. See you there?

We stopped talking about 'low blocks' being an issue ages ago and I don't think, as a fanbase, we have properly absorbed that yet. My twopence is also that there is still too much focus on individuals and whether selection is 'fair' to them.

Clare, is Shekiera on our wishlist please?

Not by all means a Rosa defender, but I feel like this game could actually use her. Solid enough defensively atm, so let her take risks to break down Crystal Palace. If she is so good, let her show it now.

The mysterious “Person X” who facilitated sponsorship payments to Manchester City in one of the deals being investigated by the Premier League was, at the time, a key aide of Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ), now the ruler of Abu Dhabi. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/art...
