    Ah well, think that's us exiting this tournament now then.

    Really can't see our kids being better than the Arsenal kids :(

    Looks like we’re taking the fine for not fielding 4 players from the last game.

    If I were BBM, I'd be playing the 'we've got a load of injuries and a load of players away on international duty' card.

    The young uns are doing well TBF.

    Playing some good stuff. Pearce did well to latch on to the bad back pass that led to their keeper being sent off.

    Can we make it count now??

    I wonder if BBM led the team or did he leave it to Purse. The latter would know more about the players than the former.

    However, it would have meant more, and inspired them more, if BBM was in the dressing room and on the touchline with them. A chance to show what they could do and it looks like they took the opportunity.

    Very entertaining match last night. Arsenal's keeper being sent off helped our cause but the gunners still made a game of it. You can see the BBM way of playing is running through all our teams approach and and with Arsenal wanting to play this made it exciting. BBM and Purse both vocal on the touch line in a positive way. The team had a well deserved applause from the fans at the end of the game. With home game to come in the next round there could well be a trip to Wembley in 2026

    BBM was on the touchline and on the pitch after the game with the players.

    There appear to be a few vacancies there now, so maybe I should pop my CV in <laugh>

    I've gotta take it on the chin on this one.... They performed exceptionally well.
    Sending off definitely helped but even before then it was a very even game that I'd say we were edging.

    Be interesting to see who we get next and what kind of line up we put out.
