Do worry about the chances for young players to play first team football at the likes of Arsenal without any League Cup action- we've seen it this season that for the first half of the campaign, every match is in the WSL or Champions League where each game has very high stakes...

As it's the international break, this week's Gooner Fanzine Arsenal Women Podcast will be more of a Q&A 🎙️ Reply with your questions about all things AWFC, or anything you want to ask about covering the Gunners! Recording at 8pm

Eberechi Eze only signed for Arsenal because he phoned Mikel Arteta just before joining Spurs to see if there was any chance of joining them. He’s now scored a hat-trick in his first North London Derby 🔴

I know we're all distracted by the NLD today but Jessie Gale has just scored another goal for Pompey, this time against West Ham in the Subway Cup. She's having an astonishing loan spell on the south coast. That's her 4th goal this season. #ArsenalWomen #PompeyWomen #SubwayCup

My match report for @thehalfwayline.bsky.social from Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City in the Subway Cup ✍️ thehalfwayline.com/2025/11/23/n...

Wonder how the man I just saw going for a run around Nottingham in Liverpool kit is doing…

Full time: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City Eleven wins in a row in all competitions for City who book their place in the Subway Cup quarter-final draw thanks to goals from Grace Clinton and Lauren Hemp at a rain-soaked City Ground

Off the post! The woodwork has been rattled so many times here- Iman Beney had timed her jump and finish well but it wasn't enough. 0-2

2,624 in attendance

Celebrations around the City Ground as news of Nottingham Forest's goal against Liverpool in the Premier League filters through! 0-2

Laura Wienroither and Vivianne Miedema coming on shortly. 0-2

Off the bar! Fierce effort from Laura Coombs smashes the crossbar before Bunny Shaw's effort is blocked on the line. Still 2-0 to City

Impressed by Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah upfront for Forest- she's had a lot of running to do but held the ball up well, been brave running at defenders and not afraid to go for goal. Really confident display. 0-2

Off the post! Nahikari Garcia almost catches Eartha Cumings off guard and her powerful drive comes back off the woodwork. 0-2

Laura Blinkilde Brown and Iman Beney coming on for Man City at half-time

Half time: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City Clinton and Hemp on target with two goals in six minutes undoing a resilient Forest side who have created chances of their own but have it all to do against the WSL leaders. City closing in on the quarter-finals

Goal! The ball creeps over the line from a Manchester City corner and the away fans take an age to realise it's gone in. Think Lauren Hemp got the final touch. 0-2

Goal! Grace Clinton finishes a fine Manchester City move, as Laura Coombs' low cross is backheeled by Bunny Shaw into Clinton's path and she fires past Emily Batty. Excellent goal. 0-1

Close! Bunny Shaw dispossesses Rachel Rowe and finds Lauren Hemp, who shoots just wide of the top corner on the half-hour mark. 0-0

Decent start for Nottingham Forest, with a trio of shots blocked by Man City from a dangerous corner. Lauren Hemp's shot was well saved by Emily Batty early on, but Forest have grown into this game well. 0-0

Surprised to see Laura Wienroither struggling so much for minutes at Man City but she's gone from playing behind Emily Fox to Kerstin Casparij- two of the best full-backs in the WSL. Casparij has had an outstanding campaign and wears the armband today

Warm-ups ahead of Nottingham Forest v Manchester City in the Subway Cup

A rainy City Ground 🏟️

Looking forward to covering Nottingham Forest v Manchester City in the Subway Cup this afternoon for @thehalfwayline.bsky.social Not looking forward to sending my match report to an Australian editor. 🏏

A Friday night Subway Cup classic!

Really not an 18 wickets in a day kind of pitch #Ashes2025

5:30am alarm set. The Ashes are here 🤩

Arsenal Women v Manchester United will kick off at 12:30pm on Saturday, January 10

Instant reaction to Arsenal Women 2-1 Real Madrid with @izzygilligan.bsky.social on this week's Gooner Fanzine Arsenal Women Podcast 🎙️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp2Q...

Alessia Russo on Disney+ "It was a really important win. We've not had the results we wanted in the last block, it was really important to come here and pick up a result in the Champions League. We're really happy."

Caroline Weir speaking to Disney+ "I think we played well but it wasn't enough tonight, against a top team like Arsenal it's always going to be difficult. They came out more aggressive in the second half, in the wide areas particularly."

Like the Brighton game earlier this season, one Arsenal simply had to win and move on from. Real Madrid could have nicked it at the end but Redondo’s shot was wasteful. Russo with an outstanding brace in a much-needed comeback

Deep deep joy as @ArsenalWFC stage a Champions League comeback to lead Real Madrid 2-1 through two goals from Alessia Russo 🔥🔥 📸 Suzy Lycett for the @GoonerFanzine at Boreham Wood @boodlepim.bsky.social

Four goals in two games against Real Madrid for Alessia Russo, four this season in the Champions League

Arsenal changing both wingers after equalising is a choice…

Alessia Russo is so good with her back to goal but even better in front of it- Arsenal simply have to find ways of getting her to do the latter more

Caroline Weir is not a player to be left unmarked, anywhere. What a strike

The details for the #SubwayWLC quarter-final and semi-finals draws have been confirmed. Read more below 👇 wslfootball.com/news/subway-wo…
