Kelleher for Rep.Ire is a very good keeper at pens, so I hope he can be the hero for them tonight.

Oh no, that was an AWFUL penalty by Brennan Johnson. Please God, don't let Wales miss out tonight or all the racist fuckers will come for him 😭

Oh no, that's so heartbreaking for Wales. Rep.Ire and N.Ire also out. I'm pretty gutted (I lived in Wales for a while so have a very soft spot for them).

Both Wales and Ireland out on penalties, such a shame

Argh, just do one Premier league, another rescheduling to monday night fot TV reasons. our 7th of the season.

City at home, 4th May

Under 21's match is about to begin. Nwaneri and Lewis Skelley are both starting.

Our loanee George is starting as well, Dibling on the bench

Jimmy Garner is starting against Uruguay, Pickford on the bench which is good.

Oh dear Andorra have just scored

Another Arsenal player injured, FFS!

I can't believe that Uruguay player got two yellow cards but didn't get sent off. 😂

How is that a penalty 😅 Good thing it's a friendly.

Who?

Madueke

That was 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Yay, top of another table...

I don’t like the way this is going just now.

Oh dear Vale

Saka, Rice and Madueke have all just left the England camp.

Good.

Unfortunately Madueke leaves in a leg brace.

These friendlies at this point in the season are very frustrating-almost nothing good at all can come from them.

I know some of you are also on the woman's football chat but bloody hell Alessia Russo is a helluva player!!

My appreciation for Alessia Russo is well documented on the other thread. 😁

@Scoobydoobydoo19 I know you support Bradford here- can we hope you include Arsenal women in your teams ??

I think so. It's difficult to get to watch Bradford Women so I keep an eye on their results but have only seen them play once. When I first got into women's football (Euro 2022) I started watching WSL as a neutral and the only person I knew who liked it was my auntie, who supports Arsenal Women so it rubbed off on me. 😊

I couldn't watch the Sp*rs game, but watching the Chelsea game a few days ago I commented that we need an Alessia Russo in the men's team!

So Spurs have parted ways with Tudor.
