Summary

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie run the rule over Arsenal’s 2-1 Champions League semi-final first leg over Lyon in North London. There is discussion of the line-ups, the performances of Emily Fox, Caitlin Foord, Katie McCabe and Lotte Wubben-Moy, as well as reflections on Arsenal’s increasing maturity and experience at dealing with situations in this competition. Tim and Jamie look back on a pair of pretty calamitous goals in the second half that Arsenal nevertheless deserved. There is also chat (and some extra context) around reports that Manchester City are closing in on signing Beth Mead and Katie McCabe. In the second half, Tim and Jamie take your questions from BlueSky.

0:33.6

and, you know, the situation she's been in with club and country over the last couple of years.

0:38.6

And we might end up talking about it on this pod as well because I thought she had a fantastic game on Sunday.

Jamie, how are you doing?

0:55.3

Hey, Tim.

1:30.8

It's been a while. I've missed you. I missed talking, Austin, with you. I think that podcast with Lott, I prepped her for a fantastic performance against Leon personally, because, God, she was great and obviously we'll get into the nitty-gritty. But, Tim, it's nice to have a win. Obviously, it's only halfway or half time, whatever we say on our social media post these days. But, yeah, no, I think a lot of positives to bring from that performance, a heavy block coming up. So I'll be seeing plenty of your face, Tim, which I'm very excited about. Yeah. And actually, strangely, I'm not going to be at the Leicester game on Wednesday because I'm in Madrid for the men's semifinal.
