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 second draw in a row might prove to be a very harmful one. After conceding a last-minute draw at home to Chelsea, Jonas Eidevall’s team travelled to south London determined to keep-up with the league leaders, who won at Tottenham, but could not get past a resilient West Ham team. The leit-motiv is always […]
What a crucial, welcome, deserved win at the Emirates Stadium for the Arsenal Women team, against Juventus. After being held to a draw in Turin, Jonas Eidevall’s side managed to see off the Italians and make a big step towards the knock-out phase. It is not done yet, but we are incredibly close to sealing […]
That’s all, folks! The 2021/22 Women’s Super League campaign is over.We all wished we had a different ending, but it was never truly likely to happen. Yes, Manchester United took the lead twice at Kingsmeadow but it never really felt like we were going to win the league: our dream lasted 21 minutes, the […]
It’s not really a déjà-vu but it feels like one.Wolfsburg is going to the Nou Camp, Chelsea is going to Wembley and we are left dealing with our regrets and recriminations. Another big day is gone and we are left disappointed by a team that looks still very vulnerable to pressure and struggles to cope […]
What a game, heh? Arsenal and Chelsea played the most intense, entertaining and energetic nil-nil one could imagine, trying to win the game until the very last minute instead of not losing it. Jonas Eidevall’s decision to field a very offensive team paid off, in the end, as Chelsea could not exert much pressure when […]
We did it! We got our first win of the year!It feels good, doesn’t it? We had to fight to get it but it was thoroughly deserved, especially after the break; it’s unknown whether the players were inspired by Tobin Heath’s pep talk in the dressing room or scared to death by the idea of […]
I’ll get to the referee later, promised.Tobin Heath stoppage-time equaliser is all I think about, at the moment. When the ball went in, I could not help thinking that justice was finally delivered because it would have been fairly hugely unfair to lose the game after that opener. Football isn’t fair, generally speaking, another reason […]
Birmingham City 2-0 Arsenal Women Crappy New Year, Gooners!It’s fair to say that no one really expected to start this 2022 in such a miserable fashion. There are many ways in which you can lose a football game when entering it as favorite but the team chose the worst possible one: the I-don’t-bother-that-much way.The […]
What an incredible night.TS Hoffenheim needed to win with a five-goals margin to dislodge us from the second spot and qualify for the quarter-finals and came very close to achieve that despite not doing anything stellar to get there. I cannot think of a better way to describe last night’s game than to compare it […]
