Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! It’s been a while since we last spoke, and Arsenal built on their all-important win against Real Madrid with two very narrow but equally important results against Liverpool in the WSL, and against Twente in the UWCL. Both performances were somehow unconvincing, and the scoreline was much closer than it should […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!When Caroline Weir scored her wonder goal, mid-way through the first half, everything looked lost. The game, the trophy, the season. All gone. Arsenal Women weren’t playing particularly well, but didn’t necessarily deserve to fall behind Real Madrid, so the Manchester City former midfielder’s thunderous volley from the centre of the penalty […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The Gunners didn’t win a must-win game, and that’s pretty much it. After throwing away a two-goals lead in Munich, Arsenal Women couldn’t break down Tottenham at Brisbane Road and find now themselves eight points off the top spot – which means that their title challenge is over. As sad as […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!It was too good to be true, wasn’t it? During more than an hour, the Arsenal Women team were all over Bayern Munich, in Germany, and could have scored five, six goals. The intensity, purpose, aggression and organization showed by the players, masterfully directed by Renée Slegers, were sensational, and the hosts […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I purposedly waited before writing about our draw against Chelsea at home, because I feared my writing would be negatively impacted by the way the match ended and the fact that emotions were very high when the final whistle was blown. The result means that Arsenal Women have likely missed the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Our girls returned from the international break and won comfortably against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, recording their third consecutive win in all competitions. Goals from Alessia Russo and Stina Blackstenius, plus an own goal from the host, saw the Gunners breeze past Leicester and remain within touching distance […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Back from Lisbon with a much-needed win, the Arsenal Women team will go into the international break in a much more relaxed mood and can look at the future with less anxiety and a bit more of confidence. Performance-wise, it wasn’t exactly a convincing outing for Renée Slegers’ players, but Arsenal […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women had to win, and they won. After a three-games winless run in the WSL that saw the team fall to fifth, our girls overcame a valiant Brighton at the Emirates Stadium and got back on track, although they are still sitting in fifth place in the table. Tottenham Hotspur’s […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Another day, another defeat for Renée Slegers and her players, who are now on a four-games winless streak. Facing OL Lyonnes at Meadow Park was always being a challenge but gifting them two goals made it unnecessarily hard. All things considered, it was an even contest between two high-quality teams, but […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Going two games winless was already far from ideal. Going winless in three consecutive games is a near catastrophe, especially if the third game of the row is an away defeat to Manchester City. I was expecting a tough game, and a loss was always on the card, but it doesn’t […]
