Is it normal to not show a replay on the big screen when there is an incident like a hand ball?. I was at Emirates and had no idea what was going on and had to look it up
on bbc

Yes, it is normal at the Emirates.

Poor Katie Reid has suffered an ACL!

I was just about to post that! Poor thing. She and Michelle are the best youngsters to come out of our Academy since Leah Williamson. Devastating for everyone.

Not another one

OMG this is getting out of hand-poor Katie

It's one a week. That research group looking at the causes of ACLs needs to get on with it.

I wonder if in 10 years time, players will be routinely wearing some sort of semi-flexible knee brace - like they wear shin pads now.

Oh dear.

Well there is always next year.

Hopefully this year will just be a blip.

What a terrible 20 minutes for Arsenal!

Gah. I was so chipper at half time. We are in trouble.
I haven't seen the match yet but I have A Theory about us.

Good luck Man U at home - no shade on Mary Earps, hope she has a good game individually but I don't like PSG. Man U for the win.
Looking at the weather, I am so glad that a) I support a team in the South of England and b) the stadium shelters us (apart from the first 15 rows) even when it's horizontal rain...

What’s your theory? I think Man U will struggle tonight.

I'd have to watch the match back first.

ManU seem to be doing all right... Hopefully they won't do an Arsenal in the second half.

You jinxed it!

i’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts when you’ve had chance to watch it! Hope it’s not too painful for you. United are the better team but psg have some real class so always a threat

😫

@Snowypeaks Do you have Disney plus? If not, do you know that you can get if for free with a Club Lloyds bank account?

No, I don't have Disney+ but I will subscribe for a month in December for those last two CL games and Christmas films.
Interesting info about the Lloyds Bank account, thanks but I probably won't do that, though.

There is no charge for the account if you pay in £2k a month, (it doesn't have to be your salary. We just pay the money in an take it out a couple of days later and you can also get a regular saver (£400 a month) with a high interest rate.

Also, you don't have to switch your existing bank account, you can just open a Club Lloyds account, though you will get £200 if you do use the switching service.

It's more that I don't bother with streaming much - the content is a bit samey and there are very few programmes that I really love. So I tend to take out either Prime, or Disney or Netflix or some combo of the three for a month a few times a year and binge on one or two series, rather than end up just watching telly for the sake of it, which I know would happen with me!

I am wavering, though, because there's no live radio commentary of UWCL games.

Fair enough but I only stream football and just watch terrestrial TV.

I've never had Netflix and have Prime but only watch football on it.

Forgot to say I also saw the tackle by Pelova on Keira Walsh on replay. Very bad.
In the stadium on the day, we thought Pelova had been fouled first by another Chelsea player and everyone around me instantly jumped to their feet, furious when the referee called it the other way.

Not good for us or @DuncinToffee today.

@Snowypeaks Do you think that she should start Olivia Smith and Chloe Kelly?

I don't know. I think she definitely should start Smith more, but in fairness she has just got over an injury. What I really think is that RS needs to drop or substitute Russo sometimes.

I was out so didn't watch or follow our game but going by the comments I have seen we were abysmal and the result flatterd us.

Calls for Sorenson to go are increasing.

Commiserations, Duncin'

I feel like I curse any team I tip to do well, so I promise I will stop doing it with Everton.

So I am tipping Man City for the title...and Chelsea...
