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 […]
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, […]
