Friday Cannon Fodder: countdown

Photo by Visionhaus/ Good Friday morning, TSFers. Our long Arsenal nightmare is nearly over. The March international break (and all international breaks, really) is the absolute worst. It completely kills the momentum of the season and robs us of what could be a furious, frenetic, three month dash to the end of the campaign. And for what?

Can Arsenal Women keep slim title hopes alive?

Photo by David Price/Arsenal FC via Arsenal Women travel to Chelsea, and must not lose to keep the possibility of a title on. Last week, after Arsenal Women blitzed Aston Villa with four first half goals to seal a place in the Conti Cup final, Lia Wälti and then Jonas Eidevall referenced the men’s team, who of course had scored 5 first half goals against Sheffield United. “We watched the men’s game a couple of days ago and we all said we would like to be more comfortable at half time.
