Let’s be honest: a win was never truly in doubt. We were cautious, a tad scaramantic maybe but deep down we knew we’d win against Leicester.Chelsea’s loss at Reading created an unexpected opportunity to open a four-points gap at the top so, quite naturally as Arsenal fans, we thought of any possible scenario where we […]
Sometimes you need to take things as they are. Sometimes you need to put things in context. Sometimes you need to accept things you cannot change (yet).Last night’s four-nil defeat to Barcelona was very close to the reverse fixture yet so far away: the scoreline was similar, the game was very different. It is hard […]
How painful was it? The three-nil defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup Final was hurtful like very few other defeats before that have been. We were dominated, humbled, punished by a Chelsea team that was simply too much to handle for our players and our head-coach. Before digging into the technical and tactical aspects […]
What a win! Convincing, impressive, dominant…you choose. The 2-0 win at Leigh Sports Village means we go into the international break at the top of the table, one point ahead of Chelsea. Well done, ladies. Yesterday’s game was about getting right on track after a disappointing draw in the North London Derby and rebuffing Chelsea’s […]
One point to validate the ticket for the quarter finals, two games to go. We’re almost there!The 3-0 win against HB Køge, paired with Barcelona thrashing TSG Hoffenheim, means that we only need one point from the next two fixtures to qualify to the knock-out phase of the Champions League.Goals from Caitlin Foord, Lotte […]
Our winning streak had to stop, eventually. It did, at the Hive, where we almost lost our invincibility. That would have been unbearable! Vivianne Miedema’s late, late header rescued a point for Jonas Eidevall’s team, which deserved much better but almost lost the first North London Derby in the league. We had the chances, we […]
There’s a first time for everything, including scoring your first European goal. Last night was a first for Steph Catley, Anna Patten and Caitilin Foord, who were on the scoresheet during the 5-1 win against HB Køge. It was tough to break down Køge’s deep-low block but once Steph Catley’s marevellous free-kick went in, the […]
Six in six for Arsenal Women, our immaculate start of the campaign continues. The four-nil win against West Ham United came through a dominant, composed and mature display from a team that is going from strength to strength, regardless of the opponent or the line-up. It’s worth remembering that Jonas Eidevall went into this game […]
We’re going to Wembley, Gooners! We will face Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday, 5th of December: be there if you can, support the team in their quest for their first trophy of the season. Jonas Eidevall’s team have a chance to win their 15th FA Cup and extend their record in the competition, which is […]
First was Arsène Wenger, towards the end of his tenure, then was Mesut Özil and today is Mikel Arteta.We can’t stay away from a cult, can we? I don’t know how much this is linked to the social media but I’m witnessing another cult growing among Arsenal fans: the Mikel Arteta cult. Wherever I turn […]
