Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I purposedly waited before writing about our draw against Chelsea at home, because I feared my writing would be negatively impacted by the way the match ended and the fact that emotions were very high when the final whistle was blown. The result means that Arsenal Women have likely missed the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women made a light work of WSL strugglers Leicester City, who were beaten 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. With the scoreline already 3-0 before the half-hour mark, there was little doubt that Renée Sleger’s team would take the three points and prepare in the best possible way […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Was it a cross? Was it a strike? Does anyone care? Beth Mead’s second goal will go down as one of this season’s finest, the icing on a truly exquisite cake baked by Renée Slegers and her players. The four-nil win away to Crystal Palace ensured that we could prepare the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Not sure about you, but I haven’t quite recovered from last night: the control, assertiveness, purpose and intensity of the team’s performance in such a big occasion has left me in awe of the players, the coach and the staff. Overcoming a two goals deficit against a team that is very, […]
The Arsenal Women Journal – A First Major Setback for Renée [ARS 0-1 LIV] Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I must say, I didn’t expect that result. Or, to be more accurate, I could have expected Liverpool to beat us thanks to a lucky shot, or even an own goal, but only in a scenario where […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! This week’s journal is a matter of seeing our glass half-empty or half-full. The narrow loss to Häcken was frustrating, especially if we consider the fair amount of back luck that went with it, while the league opener against Manchester City had us through all sorts of emotions and could have […]

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! Today’s Arsenal Women Journal will be slightly different from the usual ones. I’ll be 100% honest with you, I didn’t want to write at all after the humbling 1-3 defeat at Stamford Bridge that ended any remote dream of breaking Chelsea dominance on the WSL. If anyone has a chance […]
