Buchanan sent off for a second yellow on a clean tackle.

Not to go "it's a f***ing disgrace" but

And now a soft penalty

It's a f***ing disgrace

Absolute robbery

Bonmati spends two minutes acting like her knees been done and then breaks character to run over and high five Putellas. A real masterclass.

Chelsea and incoming USWNT coach Emma Hayes 'robbed' by 'worst decision in women's Champions League history'

Chelsea's loss to Barcelona in the Women's Champions League semifinals came with one positive side effect, from an American perspective: Emma Hayes will take the USWNT head coaching job a week sooner.

The U.S.-Mexico bid for the 2027 Women's World Cup was half-hearted. With a FIFA vote approaching, it has now been formally withdrawn, leaving two contenders.

Should have watched LFC women vs Chelsea women. Do we know how easy it is to get highlights/match replay?

So Paramount Plus (if you have it) had the full match replay. Which I watched. Ton of fun

An absolutely insane day in the WSL puts Chelsea back in control of their own destiny.

Arsenal, with basically nothing to play for, turned a 1-0 defeat against Man City into a 2-1 within with goals in the 89th and 91st.

Chelsea smiled, wished a nice thank you to Arsenal, and erased Man City's entire goal difference advantage with an 8-0 win.

Going into today, it was:

City: 52 points, 20 played, +46 goal difference
Chelsea: 46 points, 19 played, +38 goal difference

Coming out of it?

City: 52 points, 21 played, +45 goal difference
Chelsea: 49 points, 20 played, +46 goal difference.

If Chelsea win their game in hand away at Spurs on May 15, they will go into the final day top of the table with at least a +2 goal difference advantage (hopefully bigger).

Then it comes down to the final day, where City will need to either outdo Chelsea (if Chelsea drop points) or win by more goals than Chelsea do to close the goal difference gap.

The third tie-breaker, if goal difference ends level, is goals scored. Chelsea currently have +5 on City in that department.

Women's FA Cup Final, class goal right before half

 

[Venkman]

United beat Spurs 4-0 to win the FA Cup.

Great goal by Toone put United ahead. Nice header by Williams for the second. Garcia scored the third after a mistake by the Spurs GK. Spurs hit the bar then Garcia made it 4-0.

Arsenal isn't giving Miedema another contract and I'm emo about it, especially because Beth Mead won't be happy about this.

Arsenal announced the Womens team will be playing 11 games at the Emirates next year. Great for that side of the of the club, hopefully they get good attendance.

Isn't that the full slate of home games, or are they counting other competitions?

But looking at this chart, attendance won't be a problem: FA Women's Super League | Average Attendances | Home Matches | Football Web Pages

That's a good question, I don't know if they have specified the competitions yet.

I'm in London this September/October for work and hoping to add to those attendance numbers if things line up.
