Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The first hurdle has been cleared, in quite an emphatic way, too. The six-nil thrashing of Rangers allows our girls to move into the final of the first qualifying round of the UWCL, who will now face Rosenborg on Saturday, at Meadow Park. The Gunners showed real purpose and grit against […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women finished their first-ever US tour with a bitter although deserved defeat against rivals Chelsea, courtesy of a debut goal from Sandy Baltimore. This being a friendly match, I wouldn’t read too much into it, but the post-game words from Jonas Eidevall and the fact that we will play our […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women played their first friendly match of their US tour and defeated hosts Washington Spirit, who currently sit third in the NWSL table after the first half of the season. Given the difference in fitness levels, the performance on show from Jonas Eidevall’s player was very encouraging, although the hosts […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Here comes the first issue of the Arsenal Women Journal for the season 2024/25.

[…]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! A win is a win and a prestigious away win to current league leaders – which we hadn’t defeated at their place in seven years – is even more meaningful. Yet, at the back of my head, a little voice is asking “was it truly necessary?” Of course, I am […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Another game went by, drawing towards the end of a very deflating campaign. Sure, we retained the Conti Cup defeating Emma Hayes’ team, but this season will surely go down as the most disappointing one of the past five years. All the promises of the brave run-in both in the […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! It’s been three weeks since we spoke, and during that time our girls stomped on both Bristol City and Leicester at home with an overall score of 8-0 and both Beth Mead and Alessia Russo catching fire in front of goal. Unfortunately, none of Manchester City and Chelsea slipped along […]
