@Astrealix for me, Stillman is the women's Ornstein. If he mentions it, it's as good as done. But yeah, third-party confirmation is nice. Kinda surprised Maritz is off, but I guess they have to make room in the squad if they want to register new players.

IIRC, Tim Stillman talked about the Fox deal on the last arsenal women pod episode, so we knew it was on the cards.
@GunnersBot it's amusing to see fans of other clubs responding to obvious bait about us on the bluesky arsenal feed. Rent free.
@GunnersBot in case anyone starts claiming we should have kept Balogun.

TL;DR - he's not suited to a possession based team.
@sensiblepuffin @ironeaglebird I'm fine with the decision, as they couldn't see whether it was over.
What amazes me is that they couldn't see whether it was over. You'd think goal-line technology would be useful beyond the confines of the goal.
arsenal bluesky feed is wild. Someone thinks Arteta is a fascist because the person who ran his birdsite account misused it ๐ฉโ
JFC, same thread spreading shit about Ramsdale too https://imgur.com/au3NKlg
I know they've done similar videos before, but I particularly like the ones about Beth and Viv's recovery program. Part 3 did a good job explaining the factors that are different for women athletes for an audience that might not be aware.
@Gingerrific @coygsu yeah, and to think there were people arguing that we should sign Caicedo over him.
@Astrealix no card for De Zerbi waving for a yellow though.
I do get the feeling Mitoma wouldn't have got a card if the White one wasn't so recent.
Listening to the arsecast, and was astounded to hear them point out that none of the players who started the 2020 FA Cup final are now with the club ๐คโ
