Arsenal, USWNT (the men too, I guess) & recovering Ruby Mace prop • Openly Black • Are you excited by electric trains?
On a scale of Nighswonger to Reid, how highly do you think Renée rates Wellesley-Smith?

Tim has stated his dream signing for Arsenal would be Temwa Chawinga.
Given the hate campaign Barbra Banda has been subjected to in England despite not even playing there, how confident are you in the club's ability/willingness to publicly support Chawinga should something similar happen to her?

Do think Renee wanting to be a Head Coach rather than a Manager stems more from personal preference or a lack of confidence? If memory serves, she initially didn't want the Head Coach gig then changed her mind once she got a taste of it.

No issue with the logic. Was referring more to the misleading announcement.
It's not like we didn't know all along the playoff round was a possibility. Could've just said "CL quarters & semis" or even "two additional cup games to be determined later".
Just feels like an unnecessary PR gaffe.

Given the performances of liverpool & Palace in the league cup quarters, are we underestimating the jeopardy of the relegation playoff?

For MD5 of the UWCL CBS did a crossover show covering both the men's and women's competitions.
Is this something Sky should try with their WSL/PL coverage (minus the Richards/Carragher buffoonery of course), or is the inevitable backlash not worth it?

Thoughts on the OH Leuven playoff being at Meado Park after it was widely reported KO games would be at the Emirates?
Given the additional round was always a possibility, why not just say quarters & semis only up front?
Also should we fail to reach the semis, what happens to the extra Emirates game?

Crazy that y'all had a discussion on the pod about Gotham's dynasty credentials with no mention of them being the current Concacaf champions.

Indeed, not everyone can appreciate true genius when they see it.
After all there are people who still think Bergkamp's flick against Newcastle wasn't deliberate.

Nope, there wasn't enough power for the ball to bounce back that far. You can clearly see her move her back leg to flick the ball between Kees' legs.

Thoughts on London hosting the Champions Cup?
Obv no travel is an advantage for us but is a "neutral" venue club tournament in England during the winter a good idea?
Would a trip to a warm climate actually benefit the squad more than 2 extra games in London?
Will English fans embrace the tournament?

For the first time since 2019 Arsenal players have the option to wear long sleeves on matchdays. Yet it's taken seven games into the season for the women to get them. How much higher in the table would we be had long sleeves been available for the women all season?

Will Katie R's emergence force LWM to choose between Arsenal and England? Assuming Wiegman isn't just keeping her around to speak Dutch with, surely the two English players ahead of Lotte would also be ahead of her in the national team.
