Winning at home to West Ham might not be the fondest memory some of the die-hard Arsenal Women’s fans have but it was very special to me, as it was the first Arsenal Women game I ever attended. Despite arriving late to Meadow Park (!) I didn’t miss much and could see the awful mix-up […]
Jonas spoke, the players listened.The Swede was very vocal about the need of being humble after the win in Lyon, pushing away any talk about us winning the Champions League or being favourites to replicate our success from 2007, and the team responded with a mature, assured performance against Zurich.Goals from Jordan Nobbs and Lina […]
What a night at the Groupama Stadium! A sensational win at the defending champions, built on a clever game plan perfectly executed by the players on the pitch and lots of solidarity across the different units. This Olympique Lyonnais team had never conceded more than four goals in their whole history and didn’t lose a […]
It was a pleasant Sunday for us, Arsenal fans, but not an easy one. For those who watched the men’s match at Leeds and then tuned-in to watch the Women’s take on Reading, it was double joy and double pain. Jonas Eidevall’s team edged the Royals not without difficulty, despite what the league table might […]
Champions League, here we come!It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t easy, but we made it to the group stage, which was the ultimate goal. Vivianne Miedema’s long-range strike was enough to see off a spirited Ajax side that threatened to spoil the party, midway through the second half.A matter of inches, really, exactly those that […]
There is so much to say, so much to tell about the four-nil home win against Spurs that it’s truly hard to pick one player, one moment, one tactical aspect of this very welcome win. We could talk about the eighth straight clean-sheet; we could talk about Rafaelleʻs performance at the back (everywhere, actually…); we […]
Not ideal, right? Last night’s result leaves us in a very tricky position because we have to go to Amsterdam next week and win, if we want to make it to the Champions League group stage. All in all, the draw is a fair result as we started slowly and Ajax looked the better side […]
What a nice way to start the new campaign! The four-nil win at home against Brighton had many protagonists and several highlights but, to me, Stina Blackstenius was the story of the night. The Swede, whose arrival raised a few eyebrows for all the wrong reasons, has been a constant pain for the Seagulls with […]
Attempt number two. After the postponement of what should have been our season opener at Manchester City, the Arsenal Women team is finally about to kick-start their 2022/23 campaign with one target: lift the trophy that evaded us last year by one single point. We had the best attack, the best defence, registered only one […]
That’s all, folks! The 2021/22 Women’s Super League campaign is over.We all wished we had a different ending, but it was never truly likely to happen. Yes, Manchester United took the lead twice at Kingsmeadow but it never really felt like we were going to win the league: our dream lasted 21 minutes, the […]
