Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I am lost for words. Speechless. The magnitude of the Arsenal Women’s result against European serial-winners Olympique Lyonnais is gargantuan, especially if you consider that we travelled to France on the back of a 2-1 loss at the Emirates Stadium.

The Arsenal Women Journal – A First Major Setback for Renée [ARS 0-1 LIV] Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I must say, I didn’t expect that result. Or, to be more accurate, I could have expected Liverpool to beat us thanks to a lucky shot, or even an own goal, but only in a scenario where […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The game was lost, then won, then almost thrown away, moments before full-time. Being an Arsenal fan is unhealthy, isn’t it?

Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Renée’s first home game at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal’s permanent head coach could not have been more memorable!
