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? For the first game after the international break, Renée Slegers handed Chloe Kelly her first start of her second spell with Arsenal, and the former Manchester City winger repaid the […]
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! The 5-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur has been the perfect medicine after the sucker punch received from Mary Fowler and Manchester City in the league cup semifinal, at Meadow Park. The blow […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Before we get to business and discuss what happened at the City Football Academy Stadium, allow me to rewind the tape a bit, as some very important things happened on and off the pitch. The FA Cup win against Bristol City saw Katie Reid getting the starting nod over the more […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, we all knew this would happen, eventually, but I would have preferred for it to happen at another time and – most importantly – at another place. Guro Reiten’s late penalty at Stamford Bridge ended Renée Slegers’ unbeaten start and, most crucially, took any sense of jeopardy away from the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! What a start for our new permanent coach! We had to wait three whole months to finally land our main target, but it was definitely worth the wait, wasn’t it?

Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I hope everyone had a wonderful time during the holiday season, and that everyone is ready and pumped for the second half of the season. Not much happened since we last spoke, except for three promising youngsters being handed their first professional contracts. Renée Slegers is still our interim head coach; […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!Not sure about you, but I still feel the adrenaline pumping after the breath-taking win against Bayern in what felt like an end-of-the-world night at Meadow Park. Second-half goals from Alessia Russo and Mariona Caldentey turned the scoreline in our favour after the 1-1 at half-time and ensured we would go through […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! What a weird afternoon in Liverpool: we should have won comfortably, we could have dropped a couple of points, and we ended making ground up on both Chelsea and Manchester City, who drew against Leicester City and lost to Everton, respectively. When Alessia Russo scored her sixth goal in the last […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! UWCL knock-out phase, here we come. The 3-1 win in Norway saw us validating our ticket for the first round of the knock-out phase of this year’s UWCL, restoring our status as one of the best teams in Europe. The final fixture, at home to Bayern Munich, will tell us whether […]
