Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Our girls were back in action this weekend after returning from the international break, and I was a bit worried that all the travelling and the minutes played across the globe would have a negative impact on our performance. Bar a period of ten minutes or so, it wasn’t the case. […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I know it’s been a very long time but what I time to get back writing the Arsenal Women Journal! After the most depressing of times, with a head coach leaving, the team drifting away form the title challenge and an overall write-it-off-already-and-plan-for-2026 feeling, the four-nil thumping of Juventus at theirs […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! There’s no smoke without fire, they say. On Saturday night, at Meadow Park, we should have seen a giant wildfire, but we ended up with a tiny campfire, instead. The team created so many chances and was so dominant that the one-nil scoresheet felt somehow disappointing. We are through, though, and […]
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 […]
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!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 […]
Hello Arsenal Women aficionados!The traditional Arsenal Women Journal might well be on holidays mode but that’s no reason to rest. The Arsenal Women team has a big summer ahead after coming dramatically close to the Champions League final and falling behind Chelsea and Manchester United in the league: Rafaelle has left to join the Orlando […]
How could we not score at the Allianz Arena?This question is still working me up, several hours after the final whistle.We definitely deserved more from the first leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals, especially in the second half, yet we head home with what is probably the worst possible score we could take. […]
The second draw in a row might prove to be a very harmful one. After conceding a last-minute draw at home to Chelsea, Jonas Eidevall’s team travelled to south London determined to keep-up with the league leaders, who won at Tottenham, but could not get past a resilient West Ham team. The leit-motiv is always […]
