shahanshahan Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 City U21 beat Blackburn U21 yesterday 5-0. Probably the most exciting fact was that one of the goalscorers was Rachel Furness! Hopefully this means she'll be match fit for Arsenal next Sunday (Kudos to a fan page on Instagram who were able to confirm the scorers because the club didn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard nothing back of course. Glad Rachel got a sneaky U21 game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Final away game of the season at Chelsea selected for live broadcast on Sky, and pushed back to 6.45pm. it's Emma Hayes' last ever Chelsea home game so I expect that may be one reason why Sky have picked it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 If she has popped her shoulder it won't be useful for someone to wrap their arm around it! I hope it's not the end of her season, though I did worry that was the case when she went off during the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 This could affect City (or not), but the current WSL TV deal with BBC & Sky Sports has been extended for one more season in 2024/25 https://womensleagues.thefa.com/sky-sports-and-bbc-sport-extend-bwsl-broadcast-rights-for-2024-25-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 It would seem that the deal is a continuation of the present one, and so I imagine that the coverage will be predicated almost entirely to the WSL - the Beeb show about 30 seconds of the Championship leaders at best. I am keen to know how much input the new authorities (New Co) are having in this, seeing as it taking over from the FA. I am also aware that the title sponsors, Barclays, have a current deal for the top two divisions until 2024-25 and am wondering if there is a 'rolling contract' option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Some key points from today's press conference: - Shania Hayles out of arm sling but not yet match ready - Rachel Furness in squad contention after playing 45 mins with U21s last week - Naomi Layzell & Carrie Jones back in training - In-house 11v11 game took place, Lauren Smith was the ref 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true! Although I think Shania Hayles contract is up this summer (she didn't sign a new one last summer), and Rachel Furness has a one year contract which ends this season There are others who signed new one year deals last summer e.g. Jazz Bull, Jesse Woolley, but have an option for another year... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 (edited) Saw some snippets from Arsenal's press conference this morning (which Sky covered, unsurprisingly) Jonas Eidvall is serving a touchline ban this Sunday for leaving the technical area while celebrating during the Conti Cup final Vivianne Miedema is unavailable for Sunday, so there'll be no repeat of her scoring six(?) against Bristol City at Meadow Park like she did a few years ago Frida Maanum is also not available following her collapse at the Conti Cup Final & continued recovery Edited April 12 by shahanshahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
