‘A win for discouragement’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Arsenal are in a brand new position for the first time in a few decades. They are hot favorites to win the Premier League. This brings a different set of emotions. No longer are fans and Arsenal both wondering ‘can they?’ Motivation is tested […]
There are football fans who celebrate success, and then there are football fans who celebrate Arsenal not winning the Champions League as if it’s a trophy parade of their own. This is the great contradiction of the 2025/26 season: The Champions League is being contested at the highest level, actual silverware is being lifted, and […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!It’s been a looooooooooong time, right? Arsenal Women finally took the pitch again after the international break and left off exactly where they were, recording their eight and ninth consecutive wins in all competitions. It might be well too late for a title push, but we’re potentially second in the standings and […]
‘Can we do this down the park?’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I have never played for the quadruple. I have never played in front of 60,000.

Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The team waved goodbye to 2025 in style, with three consecutive away wins against Everton in the WSL, OH Leuvenin the UWCL and Crystal Palace in the league cup. More goods news came from the treatment room, which is finally getting (rather) empty now that Leah Williamson and Kim Little are […]
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! The game was lost, then won, then almost thrown away, moments before full-time. Being an Arsenal fan is unhealthy, isn’t it? For the first game after the international break, Renée Slegers handed Chloe Kelly her first start of her second spell with Arsenal, and the former Manchester City winger repaid the […]
Liverpool go 11 points clear and the old ‘bottle job’ quotes come out. City arrived at the bar early to get a good seat, got drunk by 8pm and were last seen throwing up in the toilets. United, going through yet another divorce, came in to see if they could still hang with the cool […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! What a start for our new permanent coach! We had to wait three whole months to finally land our main target, but it was definitely worth the wait, wasn’t it? The club took its time and Renée Slegers held the fort outstandingly while the recruitment process was conducted, but we finally […]
