Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! “Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in” famously said Michael Corleone in Godfather, part III (or Silvio in The Sopranos, if you prefer) and I cannot help feeling the same way, today. The comprehensive away win at London City Lionesses in the Conti Cup and […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, well – this wasn’t meant to be a double episode of the Arsenal Women Journal, but I caught a big cold that kept me in bed for a week. The moment I take my eyes off the team, we unexpectedly lose to West Ham and basically throw away the […]
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! 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 […]
