We want you to stay!We want you to stay!Oh, Vivianne Miedema we want you to stay! Those at Meadow Park or in front of their screen heard it, Vivianne Miedema herself heard it loud and clear: we want you to stay! The second consecutive four-nil win saw the Dutch star showcase some qualities that might […]
What a game, heh? Arsenal and Chelsea played the most intense, entertaining and energetic nil-nil one could imagine, trying to win the game until the very last minute instead of not losing it. Jonas Eidevall’s decision to field a very offensive team paid off, in the end, as Chelsea could not exert much pressure when […]
Not too bad of a result, all things considered. Given that we had a left-back at centre-half, that we conceded another goal on set-piece and that we were down to ten players with fifteen minutes to go, snatching a point against Man Utd isn’t too bad. It tastes bittersweet, though: we went into this game […]
It’s not often that I write about the men’s team on this platform, these days.The reaction after the deadline day got me itchy, though, so I thought I would share some of my feelings. Was it a underwhelming? Yes. Does it leave us short in numbers? Yes. Is it a 1/10 window? No. Edu and […]
Mission. Accomplished. The quest for the 15th trophy is still on. We were favorites against the London City Lionesses and it showed, although ours wasn’t exactly a scintillating performance. Journalists often refer to this kind of wins as “professional”, as if others weren’t. Anyway, we progress to the next round thanks to Vivianne Miedema’s first-half […]
We did it! We got our first win of the year!It feels good, doesn’t it? We had to fight to get it but it was thoroughly deserved, especially after the break; it’s unknown whether the players were inspired by Tobin Heath’s pep talk in the dressing room or scared to death by the idea of […]
I’ll get to the referee later, promised.Tobin Heath stoppage-time equaliser is all I think about, at the moment. When the ball went in, I could not help thinking that justice was finally delivered because it would have been fairly hugely unfair to lose the game after that opener. Football isn’t fair, generally speaking, another reason […]
Birmingham City 2-0 Arsenal Women Crappy New Year, Gooners!It’s fair to say that no one really expected to start this 2022 in such a miserable fashion. There are many ways in which you can lose a football game when entering it as favorite but the team chose the worst possible one: the I-don’t-bother-that-much way.The […]
It is THAT time of the year, ladies and gentlemen! It is time to look back at the bad and good of this crazy, forgettable year and get done with it, once for all. This year started with three disappointing results in the league and a feeling that Joe Montemurro and team were losing their […]
What an incredible night.TS Hoffenheim needed to win with a five-goals margin to dislodge us from the second spot and qualify for the quarter-finals and came very close to achieve that despite not doing anything stellar to get there. I cannot think of a better way to describe last night’s game than to compare it […]
