Today I’m happy that football won. Today we’re all happy that football won. North London remains red thanks to a goal from Beth Mead and a brace from Caitlin Foord, despite Tottenham’s attempts to turn a football match into a Royal Rumble, and we are all set for the final showdown, next Sunday. We had […]
Goals galore for our girls, who crushed Villa with a thumping 7-0 win to wave goodbye to Meadow Park, for this season.A last home game (the North London Derby is played at the Emirates Stadium) that saw the team surpass the 100 goals scored mark, Nikita Parris score her 50th Super League goal and – […]
It’s not really a déjà-vu but it feels like one.Wolfsburg is going to the Nou Camp, Chelsea is going to Wembley and we are left dealing with our regrets and recriminations. Another big day is gone and we are left disappointed by a team that looks still very vulnerable to pressure and struggles to cope […]
We had to win and we won. We had to score a lot and we did – although we left it late in the game.We didn’t quite match Chelsea’s 9-0 win but we scored five past Leicester and made sure we did our bit but unfortunately Chelsea also won easily against Reading, which means that […]
That’s it, our European journey came to an abrupt end at the Volkswagen Arena, last night.It hurts but we can hardly say the outcome was unfair: over the two legs, Wolfsburg has been the better team. Although we grew into the game and could have had more luck with some of our shots, the first […]
Last night I suddenly realized how much I missed this kind of European night. Sure, the men’s team played a couple of Europa League semifinals at the Emirates but nothing really beats a Champions League knock-out game at home. Although the result wasn’t great, the performance from the girls was very encouraging and I bet […]
It’s no longer an experiment but a wonderful winning formula found by Jonas Eidevall, instead. I want to give credit where due, because the Swedish coach turned it around beautifully since the turn of the year and it shows, week after week. The new setup and the different roles, coupled with the smart January recruitment, […]
Four is a magic number!Arsenal scored four goals for the third time in a row and defeated Birmingham City at home, to open an eight-points gap at the top with Chelsea. Emma Hayes’ team, who suffered a defeat in the Conti Cup final against Manchester City, will play West Ham on Thursday and will have […]
We want you to stay!We want you to stay!Oh, Vivianne Miedema we want you to stay! Those at Meadow Park or in front of their screen heard it, Vivianne Miedema herself heard it loud and clear: we want you to stay! The second consecutive four-nil win saw the Dutch star showcase some qualities that might […]
What a game, heh? Arsenal and Chelsea played the most intense, entertaining and energetic nil-nil one could imagine, trying to win the game until the very last minute instead of not losing it. Jonas Eidevall’s decision to field a very offensive team paid off, in the end, as Chelsea could not exert much pressure when […]
