Birmingham City 2-0 Arsenal Women Crappy New Year, Gooners!It’s fair to say that no one really expected to start this 2022 in such a miserable fashion. There are many ways in which you can lose a football game when entering it as favorite but the team chose the worst possible one: the I-don’t-bother-that-much way.The […]
It is THAT time of the year, ladies and gentlemen! It is time to look back at the bad and good of this crazy, forgettable year and get done with it, once for all. This year started with three disappointing results in the league and a feeling that Joe Montemurro and team were losing their […]
What an incredible night.TS Hoffenheim needed to win with a five-goals margin to dislodge us from the second spot and qualify for the quarter-finals and came very close to achieve that despite not doing anything stellar to get there. I cannot think of a better way to describe last night’s game than to compare it […]
Let’s be honest: a win was never truly in doubt. We were cautious, a tad scaramantic maybe but deep down we knew we’d win against Leicester.Chelsea’s loss at Reading created an unexpected opportunity to open a four-points gap at the top so, quite naturally as Arsenal fans, we thought of any possible scenario where we […]
Sometimes you need to take things as they are. Sometimes you need to put things in context. Sometimes you need to accept things you cannot change (yet).Last night’s four-nil defeat to Barcelona was very close to the reverse fixture yet so far away: the scoreline was similar, the game was very different. It is hard […]
How painful was it? The three-nil defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup Final was hurtful like very few other defeats before that have been. We were dominated, humbled, punished by a Chelsea team that was simply too much to handle for our players and our head-coach. Before digging into the technical and tactical aspects […]
What a win! Convincing, impressive, dominant…you choose. The 2-0 win at Leigh Sports Village means we go into the international break at the top of the table, one point ahead of Chelsea. Well done, ladies. Yesterday’s game was about getting right on track after a disappointing draw in the North London Derby and rebuffing Chelsea’s […]
One point to validate the ticket for the quarter finals, two games to go. We’re almost there!The 3-0 win against HB Køge, paired with Barcelona thrashing TSG Hoffenheim, means that we only need one point from the next two fixtures to qualify to the knock-out phase of the Champions League.Goals from Caitlin Foord, Lotte […]
Our winning streak had to stop, eventually. It did, at the Hive, where we almost lost our invincibility. That would have been unbearable! Vivianne Miedema’s late, late header rescued a point for Jonas Eidevall’s team, which deserved much better but almost lost the first North London Derby in the league. We had the chances, we […]
There’s a first time for everything, including scoring your first European goal. Last night was a first for Steph Catley, Anna Patten and Caitilin Foord, who were on the scoresheet during the 5-1 win against HB Køge. It was tough to break down Køge’s deep-low block but once Steph Catley’s marevellous free-kick went in, the […]
