Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The winter break is still on, but the Arsenal world doesn’t stop. A couple of days ago, the Club announced the signing of Swedish right-back Smilla Holmberg from Hammarby IF to land one of the most exciting prospects in European football. The 19yo defender, who is already a full international and […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Back from Lisbon with a much-needed win, the Arsenal Women team will go into the international break in a much more relaxed mood and can look at the future with less anxiety and a bit more of confidence. Performance-wise, it wasn’t exactly a convincing outing for Renée Slegers’ players, but Arsenal […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! You didn’t dream, it was real: Arsenal are champions of Europe (again!). In what could be described as one of the biggest upsets in women’s football, Renée Slegers and her players defeated the mighty Barcelona Femení in Lisbon. A goal from Stina Blackstenius was enough to bring home the second UWCL […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Up until the hour mark, everything looked perfect: we were hammering Manchester United at home, Mariona Caldentey was presented with the supporters’ Player of the Season award and Alessia Russo was on track for the WSL Golden Boot and FWA Footballer of the Year double, all of that happening in front […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! As soon as the starting XI came out, everyone could sense a difficult afternoon at Villa Park.

I don’t mean to be disrespectful towards Liverpool, of course, but the difference between the two games is quite appalling. Were we a bit too confident […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, we all knew this would happen, eventually, but I would have preferred for it to happen at another time and – most importantly – at another place. Guro Reiten’s late penalty at Stamford Bridge ended Renée Slegers’ unbeaten start and, most crucially, took any sense of jeopardy away from the […]
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 […]
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 […]
