Not only are they better than the men in the FA cup, they're doing better in Europe as well. The first leg of their quarter-final tie is tomorrow afternoon and you can read the official preview here and get squad news from LadyArse's blog here.
In breaking news, the FA has found their cojones today, with SAF looking at a five game ban as things stand. If he doesn't appeal, he could well miss the clash at the Emirates later in the season, forced to watch from the stand.
Anyways, in other news the DailyMail told us yesterday that Blackburn were set to bid £15million for Nicklas Bendtner, today they reckon that he'll hold out for a move to Germany. Fair play to him, I'll wait until I hear it from another source though, this could just be agents looking around for offers. Jens Lehmann's name has been popping up, unsurprisingly, and it looks like he's been saying something sensible and conducive to not fighting with teammates. I've already expressed my views on Lehmann, although it is still a contentious point. Be sure to comment if you've got an opinion on his signing.
Some other news which is even more contentious, the club are raising ticket prices at the Ems from next season for Club Levet at least. A lot of people not happy that this money is going towards the wages of Diaby's and Denilson's. Not my opinion, but is a rise in ticket prices acceptable given some of our performances this season?
Anyways, it looks like a bit of a youth day on the main site today, with an article about Oguzhan Ozyakup; Rhys Murphy talking about a loan move, Kyle Ebecilio about being spotted by and fitting in at Arsenal and also Ignasi Miquel about how hard work is the best way to get your chance.
Speaking of Ignasi, he's really been pushing to get into the first team recently, and he's been speaking to the official website in a Close Up interview:
The reserves are set for a run-out tonight playing at Underhill instead of London Colney as part of the clubs partnership with Barnet. Anyway, the boys are hosting none other than Liverpool and although their form hasn't been as imperious as usual in the last few months, they're still top of the league.
One other thing, Ryo Miyaichi has been exciting at Feyenoord as we all know, and his younger brother seems to be just as exciting a talent. Read here for more from YoungGuns.
That's all for today. More from how the reserves got on tomorrow.
