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 […]
Winning at home to West Ham might not be the fondest memory some of the die-hard Arsenal Women’s fans have but it was very special to me, as it was the first Arsenal Women game I ever attended. Despite arriving late to Meadow Park (!) I didn’t miss much and could see the awful mix-up […]
Not ideal, right? Last night’s result leaves us in a very tricky position because we have to go to Amsterdam next week and win, if we want to make it to the Champions League group stage. All in all, the draw is a fair result as we started slowly and Ajax looked the better side […]
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 […]
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 […]
Last night was Arsenal Women’s first must-win game of the season and they delivered. Big time. Although the final scoreline could be considered a bit harsh on the Germans, especially after the first half, the win is well deserved. In a night that saw us scoring four goals, it was our off-the-ball shape and performance […]
