Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! While most of our girls are busy with their national teams around the world, allow me to take a moment to rewind the tape and go back to the turbulent days that led to Jonas Eidevall’s resignation from his head coach role for the Arsenal Women team, in October. The Swede […]
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 […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women played their first friendly match of their US tour and defeated hosts Washington Spirit, who currently sit third in the NWSL table after the first half of the season. Given the difference in fitness levels, the performance on show from Jonas Eidevall’s player was very encouraging, although the hosts […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Here comes the first issue of the Arsenal Women Journal for the season 2024/25. I hope you all had a good summer and are now ready to go for what could be a make-or-break season for Jonas Eidevall and some of his players. The official start of the season is still […]
The only way to start off this post is to say I was highly skeptical when Havertz was signed. Hell, away with half-truths: I was dead sure Arsenal made a massive mistake. A quick search for “Havertz” from @the_tsar_cannon (my Twitter handle) will result in stuff like this: August, after a narrow win over Crystal […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Another game went by, drawing towards the end of a very deflating campaign. Sure, we retained the Conti Cup defeating Emma Hayes’ team, but this season will surely go down as the most disappointing one of the past five years. All the promises of the brave run-in both in the […]
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 […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Before getting back to the North London Derby played at a sold-out Emirates Stadium, I would like to take a minute to celebrate getting into a second consecutive Conti Cup final. I know it is the “minor” trophy in the range of silverware we were aiming for, when the season […]
The Emirates Stadium was all prepared for a Premier League blockbuster on Saturday, March 16th, 2024, as Arsenal was to welcome Chelsea in a match pulsating with tension and consequence. Chelsea’s last gasp victory over Leeds in the FA Cup, however, has forced the fixture to be rescheduled. Under the tactical vision of Mikel Arteta, […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! The Arsenal Women team is finally back, after the winter break. There is so much to unpack, since we last spoke, that I’m afraid this will become a long read – but stick with me, please. A month ago, when I reported about the North London Derby defeat at the […]
