[Albion] Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion FA Cup Semi Final *** Official Match Thread ***

[Swansman]

0-0 half time. Need to be happy with that. Pretty stale game, you can see there is a lot at stake. Arsenal obviously the better team but a little bit closer the last 15. Hopefully there will be a decent chance or two to score but best chance is probably to stall this to penalties.

Great clearance by Victoria Williams there

You might want to add WSL in the title, it's pretty misleading.

If you think it relates to anything other than the women's team your are seriously out of touch.

 

[Hugo Rune]

That’s frustrating.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

2-0 game over

 

[maltaseagull]

I appreciate that the BBC is strapped for cash, but you would expect more than one camera to cover the match.

Oh FFS! 2- 0.
Game over now by the looks of it.

 

[swindonseagull]

Thats enough Bye Bye

 

[Gwylan]

Poor defending by Le Tiss there - you can't let a forward a free run to the six-yard box

Come on Ladies. Do what the mens team did yesterday and nick it on penalties

 

[El Turi]

I know it’s tough against the big sides but Brighton always seem to play very defensively. Hope Powell is very much in the Hughton mould.

Dodgy keeper

Not looking likely. We were well on top 2nd half yesterday. Here we've only had one decent chance all game. Positive subs haven't done much to change that either.

Oh dear, time to concentrate on the league.

The camera coverage appears to be very much in line with the prize money on offer for the Women's FA Cup.

Albion Women will take home £1,250 from today's game as losing Semi-Finalists.

And if people think it'll get better next season with the increased TV coverage, they'd be mistaken.

It's £1,250 next season as well.

By contrast, both Men's FA Cup losing Semi-Finalists collected £450,000.

Well. 20 or so people can have a decent night out on that sort of money so at least they can drown their sorrows

That was like watching men against boys.

err... or whatever the female equivalent is.

Why would I want to do that? It isn't a WSL game. It is an FA Cup Semi Final - as I said.

Didn't notice the whistle? I was be sarcastic.
