Champions League, here we come! The narrow home win against Leicester, followed by the empathic four-nil thumping of a valiant Brighton team and coupled with the unexpected Manchester City loss against Liverpool, propelled us to the third place, the last one that gives access to the European’s top competition. Once again, I want to hail […]
I needed time to process the result from Monday night at the Emirates Stadium, because the emotions were too many and too high.As I was sitting on the balcony at a friend’s house in Sevilla, my heart skipped a beat when Wolfsburg scored the final goal and crushed our dreams.

They might miss key players across the field; they might concede two goals in the opening 30 minutes; they might face Germany’s top side, away from home yet they won’t back down.

This Arsenal team has got something about it, hasn’t? From one-nil down to three-one up in the Conti Cup final against Chelsea.

“We cruised to victory against Reading…” reads the Arsenal website, in the aftermath of our thumping four-nil win against the Royals, at Meadow Park.Goals from Kim Little, Frida Maanum and Leah Williamson, as well as an own-goal from Emma Mukandi, sealed our third consecutive win in the league and helped closing the gap with the […]
We didn’t have much time to celebrate the magnificent League Cup win over Chelsea, did we? The team was back in business 48 hours after the Selhurst Park triumph, welcoming a struggling Liverpool side to Meadow Park. The bad news of a cold night in North London was the absence of Steph Catley, who was […]
Arsenal Women lifted the Continental Tyres Cup for the sixth time since its inception, the last one being in 2018. It’s the first trophy for Jonas Eidevall as Arsenal head-coach and the first trophy for the club since the league win in 2019 – four years ago. Contrarily to what a bitter Emma Hayes said […]
