Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Double dose of AWFC content this week, as our girls played against Bristol City in the Conti Cup and then against Leicester City in the Women’s Super League.Double dose, double delight as we came up on the winning side on both occasions. The League Cup at Meadow Park, which saw […]
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. […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Some goals are not just goals, they are something more than the ball hitting the back of the net. There are circumstances when scoring a goal can change the whole narrative for a player, or for a team. Sometimes for both. Cloé Lacasse last gasp wonder strike against Manchester United […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Digesting the early elimination from the Champions League wasn’t easy but it is time to move on and think forward, rather than being stuck on what could have been and won’t be. Not being involved in the biggest European competition surely sucks, especially now that Mikel Arteta’s boys finally broke […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Is it, though? Arsenal Women surprisingly crashed out of the Women’s Champions League qualifying rounds after losing to Paris FC on penalties. The shocking result came after Jonas Eidevall team fought back from two goals down to force the extra time and then once again to bring the tie to […]
Another game against Chelsea, another hurtful result.Once again, we are left ruing the missed chances, the lack of composure in front of goal. Chelsea took their chances while we didn’t and that, combined with some poor defending, cut our FA Cup journey very short. Jonas Eidevall reverted to a back four, with Liä Walti and […]
Where do we go from here? The question has been doing rounds in my head since the final whistle went at the Academy Stadium of Manchester. We deservedly lost to Manchester City and are now fourth in the table, five points behind Chelsea in first and three behind Manchester United in second. Manchester City leapfrogged […]
The AWFC Journal – A tale of chances taken and missedA new page of the AWFC Journal was long overdue, I know. It’s been a while and more precisely since the home draw to Chelsea, which left a bittersweet aftertaste. Although we comfortably dispatched Aston Villa in the Conti Cup (3-0) and Leeds United in […]
It could have been easier. It should have been easier. We held on to the goal scored by Vivianne Miedema and got a truly deserved win, but Everton had two huge chances to equalize and snatch a very unlikely point at Meadow Park. Although we cannot prevent opponents from having chances to score, we ought […]
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 […]
