OLIVIA SMITH, TAKE A BOW ๐คฏ The #ArsenalWFC record signing with one of the BEST debut goals you will see ๐ #BarclaysWSL
51 - Beth Mead has become the first player to register a half century of assists in the Women's Super League. Bullseye.
Reigning European champions Arsenal started their domestic league season with a win over newly-promoted London City Lionesses. Olivia Smith scored a debut goal, and was joined on the scoresheet by Chloe Kelly, Stina Blackstenius & Frida Leonhardsen-Maanum.

Really good win! Liv scoring that screamer, Kelly getting the lead, Beth assisting twice, Stina and Maanum too getting on the sheet. The squad depth working out well! The chances that were created throughout was good too. #COYG ๐ดโช

Only explanation I can think of is, Heinze delegated the job to his international counterpart, the "Norwegian LB coach" and it has now gone terribly wrong. Maybe lost in translation.

Yasti was a backup keeper, opener/extra batter. They chose a replacement who's WK, would have rather gone for a batter. Its a home WC, you could easily bring in a WK when you need if anything unfortunate happens. Also makes the call they took with their 15th player stand out more
Firstly tough luck yet again. She has been through a few injuries recently, it's tough on her. Hope she recovers quickly!!

Could have actually taken the risk of adding a better batter in Shafali (even if that was a far shot considering selectors didn't even consider her good enough to be in the 20, let alone 15 player squad) She can keep a bit if an in match situation developed, & replacement isn't an issue in home WC

Hope next season there is greater separation between the WSL transfer deadline and the season starting (either by closing it a little before or closing it a little after). Personally think it has been a distraction from building up the start of a new season.

Only one batter has hit a hat trick ball for the winning runs: Sompal Kami off JN Loftie-Eaton, Nepal vs Namibia, Kirtipur 2023 Two others have hit the winning runs on the ball following two consecutive wickets, but not a hat trick ball because one of them was a run out. Brevis missed by one ball.
Oh!! It looks like Asian Paints felt some early impact of Birla Opus's latest ad campaign (video ads: tinyurl.com/birlaopusads)! Otherwise, for a market leader to "react" ("never about assurance for a year") to a new rival's ad campaign is quite unusual.
They themselves would tax health insurance and Indian breads at 18%. For N-I-N-E years. And then, after N-I-N-E LONG years, when they themselves lower it, we should all celebrate and be grateful for the largesse from our noble rulers? Genius! ๐คทโโ๏ธ
B0ts kinda have increased here too. Not at the level of that place but still...

He's on List A which is special. You can only register 16+ on List B,so Arsenal using that list A spot for him. Clearly shows how highly they rate him, bec easier way would have been wait to Jan, and then just register him in List B then. But they do envision him playing some part in the early too
Is managing the injuries a thing that causes further trouble down the line? Should like players go for surgeries ASAP if that's the only way to ensure you get over that injury than managing it?
London City Lionesses will be the 19th different opponent Arsenal Women have faced in the Women's Super League. They have lost 23 matches against Chelsea and Man City Women and just 18 against the other 16 opponents combined. The Gunners are undefeated by seven of those opponents.
Now you would have some "business experts" show up and tell how this is a great move, but they never said the previous one was bad, so how can both be great? Correcting a long overdue self inflicted mistake, needs the acknowledgement of that too.
Lol. But tbf feel they are stating this bec you can't register Under 16 in List B, so Arsenal ended up registering him in List A. And don't think it has happened before. So definitely a big thing!
After looting for long, stopping a bit of it, doesn't deserve claps. Maybe they should put an apology for tax loot that was going on for so long even on basic things and critical items like insurances.
I had some thoughts on Mikel Arteta as a 'defensive coach', whether that's actually true, what the summer transfer business tells us, and what it demands of the manager this season. Have a read. #arsenal #afc ๐

They have largely tried to keep things in a way that they can get away but this is just shady to next level. Also not revealing what they paid to get him back, imagining it would be peanuts, bec first deal itself was largely for creative accounting. Maybe they didn't have loan spots there but still

A lot of it is just based on the last season which is just unfair, 3 games in, missing key players, losing their top CB, the performance was good keeping that in mind, also that if you are calling him conservative, what more did the other side create.
I know this really shouldn't bother me, but I've just read another article about how Arsenal started "4 centre backs and 3 defensive midfielders" at Anfield on Sunday. Genuinely what are people watching. Merino was playing next to Gyokeres OOP. Timber was up and down all day. Calafiori had 3 shots!

Maybe. But Palace did quite clearly say they wanted a replacement. Feel Liv thought even without a replacement, Palace won't risk losing an asset for free especially if fees is good enough. Also 1 thing that this window has shown is agreements of any sort which isn't written doesn't hold for much
Some pool supporters going like Guehi move failing is a lesson to go on strike like Isak otherwise you won't get your move ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Why couldn't they go for him before? Not like there was lack of funds or they needed to move someone on. They waited for the last day to put a bid.
One more thing about last days game is that we need to find someone else to cross corners too. Ideally Saka and Rice are great from their ends but felt Rice did struggle having to take each and everyone until Odegaard came on late. Hopefully someone else is also being prepared.
Good luck, Palace fans. That sound you hear is thousands of keypads warming up.
Good for them on the field though. Don't think they could have afforded to lose him without a proper replacement. Guehi has been professional throughout hopefully that continues!
Looks like better sense prevailed at Palace.
I think we handled them well. They were training and weren't isolated. Never a fan club's outrightly dismissing plates to train away from the group (except maybe when players are deemed to be causing somesort of chaos)
With Guehi signing, it's pool's cup to lose
