Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The first hurdle has been cleared, in quite an emphatic way, too. The six-nil thrashing of Rangers allows our girls to move into the final of the first qualifying round of the UWCL, who will now face Rosenborg on Saturday, at Meadow Park. The Gunners showed real purpose and grit against […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! It’s been three weeks since we spoke, and during that time our girls stomped on both Bristol City and Leicester at home with an overall score of 8-0 and both Beth Mead and Alessia Russo catching fire in front of goal. Unfortunately, none of Manchester City and Chelsea slipped along […]
Hello Arsenal Women aficionados, and welcome to the latest episode of the Arsenal Women Journal!Today’s episode is supposed to be a very happy one, but for various reasons I can’t feel like celebrating.

Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Today’s Arsenal Women Journal will be slightly different from the usual ones.

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! 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 […]

Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Remember when I wrote about the new dawn for the Arsenal Women’s season? Well, the sun is finally out. Katie McCabe and Alessia Russo late goals gave us a well-deserved win against Aston Villa and pushed away all the clouds that were casting shadows over the Emirates Stadium, on Sunday. […]
