Great to hear we won! Could have score more goals also!
Our women are the pride of London!

The Women's Game is too underrated. I'm hoping the exposure will change people's perceptions. There's real quality in the game now.Caught the game today, refreshing watch.
Like the way they attacked with great movement and flair and then when Chelsea took control of possession they adapted to a counter style seamlessly.
Lots of great blocks and players committing to the cause in order to defend the lead.
Most refreshing of all, no diving, rolling about, surrounding the ref, moaning about bad decisions and a nice offside goal in our favour
Women's game going from strength to strength, good to see.
Annoyingly, it wasn't even on FAplayer. They only had audioAye, that is the problem. Not a stream to be found. Guess I'll have to try the FA one with a VPN next time.

Had to find other means to get a stream...
That was my thought too. Seems a passionate and likeable fellow.The boss reaction interview after the game is brilliant. Some of the quotes come close to what Wenger could very well have said him self.
Actually the Arsenal Women went £9k in surplus for the 2019-2020 season. Commercial income has doubled from 2018 to 2020 and broadcasting revenue near tripled.Slightly OT, and this will probably be a unpopular opinion.
But i have never understod the point of us having a women’s team, other than political correctness. There’s very little revenue in women’s football, and the women’s cost a whole lot more than what it brings in.
Just my two cents.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but in this case id say its a bit short sited, as others have said the womens game is on the up and up, revenue is up, exposure, tv deals, fan following all on the increase, so even if it isnt wiping its own face right now it will not be long before it does.Slightly OT, and this will probably be a unpopular opinion.

I read a report a few years ago which stated that the women’s team was more or less fully subsided by the men’s team. But the media as well as the FA has done all in their Power to make women’s football look more relevant during the last few years.Actually the Arsenal Women went £9k in surplus for the 2019-2020 season.

So the women's team is not a burden on the parent company by any stretch of the imagination.
The club has a proud history in the women's game, and I would suggest that has a value beyond financial considerations. Manchester United only got a team this year. We've supported football for women since 1987. Next year will mark the 20 year anniversary for when the team became fully professional.
The big clubs have a responsibility to football as a sport. I think in terms of women's football, Arsenal has taken on that responsibility better than most of the bigger clubs.
In what way is women’s football on the way up? The spectator numbers in women’s football are about the same level as it was 10 or 15 years ago. And the reason as to why we see more and more articles about women’s football in the media these days, is because the sport has been hijacked by the SJWs, and are today used as a political tool.Everyone is entitled to their opinion but in this case id say its a bit short sited, as others have said the womens game is on the up and up, revenue is up, exposure, tv deals, fan following all on the increase, so even if it isnt wiping its own face right now it will not be long before it does.
My home town club Bristol City have branched out into Women's football, Basketball, Rugby all under the same ownership, clubs are moving into more than just a mens football team these days so may as well be at the forefront of it all and push the club forward on multiple fronts imo.
I'd have to agree to disagree. To me the signs point toward growth, certainly the sky sports tv deal will give greater exposure which will build the fan base and drive more money into the game, so its growing, if you sign a better TV deal than the year before then that is by definition growth.In what way is women’s football on the way up?

Women’s football these days are, sadly enough, 90% about politics and 10% about sport.
