Half-time away to Arsenal 0-0 and Spencer has barely had to make a save. I think we have actually created the better chances. Excellent first half.

Can the DJ at the Emirates please STOP playing entrance themes? It's ruining my enjoyment listening to them when it comes from those speakers...

Robert definitely has learnt his lesson since those City and United games earlier in the season and whilst it’s never nice to lose, at least it wasn’t a thrashing and we generally defended really well. Amy James-Turner was excellent.

What wasn’t excellent was the BBC punditry/commentary. I get they all played for Arsenal at one point but could let make it less obvious that they only cared about an Arsenal win? So much talk of Arsenal not being at their free flowing best, and so little talk about how Spurs disrupted that and made it hard for them. Rachel Brown Finnis made several statements about Spurs which were just plain not true as well. Their knowledge of any team outside of the top 4 is so poor.

Rachel Brown-Finnis is always saying stuff that leads me to shake my head and think "Really?". I'm really pleased that someone else has noticed. I'm just a little concerned that her Producers haven't.

I doubt they care.. Just seems to have that "She's an ex player so must know what she's talking about." vibe. From the comments she made about how we usually set up and the players in the squad it was so obvious she does no research. She made a comment about how we rotate goalkeepers and that Becky Spencer always comes in for the big games. The goalkeeper rotation isn't a thing anymore, and even when it was, it was usually Tinni who came in for the games against the big clubs! Its just so poor.

FA Cup day! Man City at Brisbane Rd, kick off 3pm. Tickets available on the gate.

4th time lucky? I feel we are on the up, positivity is flowing and we have been constantly reducing the deficit. It's a massive ask but, COYSW!!

Bethany England with a last-dash equaliser after a horrendous mix-up between City's defence and goalie! Heading into extra time now

Half-time in extra time, still 1-1! We're playing really well - should be very proud no matter what happens from here

So happy that the manager has realized we can't play 442 and that it's not a problem to have one of our better player on the bench.
