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 […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! The Arsenal Women team is finally back, after the winter break. There is so much to unpack, since we last spoke, that I’m afraid this will become a long read – but stick with me, please. A month ago, when I reported about the North London Derby defeat at the […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! As soon as the final whistle blew, I could see the blogs and articles being published about how Tottenham are growing, how they heroically overcame their nemesis and how they deservedly won their first North London Derby, ever.Truth is, Spurs’ goalkeeper Votikova pulled a player of the match performance, and […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Who would have dreamt of such a big win? The way our team destroyed league leaders Chelsea was simply amazing and beyond my wildest dreams. The impact of this win is reminiscent of Jonas Eidevall’s first game in charge, against the same opponent, in the same stadium: after years of […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados!Another double episode of your favourite Arsenal Women blog this week, as Jonas Eidevall’s team first grabbed a last-minute win at Southampton, in the Conti Cup group stage, then swept away West Ham at Meadow Park, in the WSL. It means we’ve now won eight consecutive games in all competitions and […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! It took us way too long, but finally we got our first clean sheet in the league. That, on level with Beth Mead starting her first league game in a year, is probably the ultimate take away from the convincing three-nil win at Brighton. While wins got us much closer […]
