Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I hope everyone had a wonderful time during the holiday season, and that everyone is ready and pumped for the second half of the season. Not much happened since we last spoke, except for three promising youngsters being handed their first professional contracts. Renée Slegers is still our interim head coach; […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The first hurdle has been cleared, in quite an emphatic way, too. The six-nil thrashing of Rangers allows our girls to move into the final of the first qualifying round of the UWCL, who will now face Rosenborg on Saturday, at Meadow Park. The Gunners showed real purpose and grit against […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Our dear Arsenal Women team didn’t take the pitch this weekend, yet I felt the urge to put together this blog because 1) Tottenham were battered in the FA Cup final and 2) the club shocked the women’s footballing world with two massive announcements in the space of 24 hours.

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! As soon as the final whistle blew, I could see the blogs and articles being published about how Tottenham are growing, how they heroically overcame their nemesis and how they deservedly won their first North London Derby, ever.Truth is, Spurs’ goalkeeper Votikova pulled a player of the match performance, and […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Who would have dreamt of such a big win? The way our team destroyed league leaders Chelsea was simply amazing and beyond my wildest dreams. The impact of this win is reminiscent of Jonas Eidevall’s first game in charge, against the same opponent, in the same stadium: after years of […]
