Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Our dear Arsenal Women team didn’t take the pitch this weekend, yet I felt the urge to put together this blog because 1) Tottenham were battered in the FA Cup final and 2) the club shocked the women’s footballing world with two massive announcements in the space of 24 hours. […]
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 […]
Hello Arsenal Women aficionados, and welcome to the latest episode of the Arsenal Women Journal!Today’s episode is supposed to be a very happy one, but for various reasons I can’t feel like celebrating. Sure, beating Chelsea and Emma Hayes always tastes very sweet and so does bringing home another piece of silverware, but some very […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Today’s Arsenal Women Journal will be slightly different from the usual ones. I’ll be 100% honest with you, I didn’t want to write at all after the humbling 1-3 defeat at Stamford Bridge that ended any remote dream of breaking Chelsea dominance on the WSL. If anyone has a chance […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Before getting back to the North London Derby played at a sold-out Emirates Stadium, I would like to take a minute to celebrate getting into a second consecutive Conti Cup final. I know it is the “minor” trophy in the range of silverware we were aiming for, when the season […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! “Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in” famously said Michael Corleone in Godfather, part III (or Silvio in The Sopranos, if you prefer) and I cannot help feeling the same way, today. The comprehensive away win at London City Lionesses in the Conti Cup and […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Was it in? The big talking point of the home defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup has been whether the ball fumbled by Khiara Keating crossed the line or not. With no VAR or goal-line technology available, it was the officials who made the decision, and they decided […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, well – this wasn’t meant to be a double episode of the Arsenal Women Journal, but I caught a big cold that kept me in bed for a week. The moment I take my eyes off the team, we unexpectedly lose to West Ham and basically throw away the […]
