I know a fair few Man City/Arsenal supporters who are annoyed that their games get moved for TV, especially if it's an early or late kick off away which would cause travel issues for some. Also, the potential clash with their men's teams playing in Premier League games on Sundays - we don't have that issue just yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal being worked out that would see her loaned back for the 2023/24 season. Saw this news as well. Although the article I saw did not definitely say she'd be loaned back, but rather loaned out (most likely to City). I think it's a great move that I'd like to see for Brooke eventually - but she wouldn't get into the Chelsea first team right now. And Emma Hayes has been known for the ridiculous squad depth & loaning out other players Edited June 20, 2023 by shahanshahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
