Hello Arsenal Women aficionados! The traditional Arsenal Women Journal might well be on holidays mode but that’s no reason to rest. Last week I was stating the obvious when I said that the Arsenal would have a very busy summer ahead of them, but what was less obvious was how quickly they would start bringing […]
I needed time to process the result from Monday night at the Emirates Stadium, because the emotions were too many and too high.As I was sitting on the balcony at a friend’s house in Sevilla, my heart skipped a beat when Wolfsburg scored the final goal and crushed our dreams. All I felt was emptiness. […]
They might miss key players across the field; they might concede two goals in the opening 30 minutes; they might face Germany’s top side, away from home yet they won’t back down. The resilience shown by this group of players is simply sensational. Nothing is done yet in terms of reaching the Champions League final, […]
We didn’t have much time to celebrate the magnificent League Cup win over Chelsea, did we? The team was back in business 48 hours after the Selhurst Park triumph, welcoming a struggling Liverpool side to Meadow Park. The bad news of a cold night in North London was the absence of Steph Catley, who was […]
Another game against Chelsea, another hurtful result.Once again, we are left ruing the missed chances, the lack of composure in front of goal. Chelsea took their chances while we didn’t and that, combined with some poor defending, cut our FA Cup journey very short. Jonas Eidevall reverted to a back four, with Liä Walti and […]
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 good news is that we created chance after chance.The bad news is that we had to wait until the extra time to convert one of them. I feel like I am writing the same thing over and over, lately. I cannot say any bad word about how the team is setup, how the players […]
It’s fair to say that the players did their best to ensure we would all have a nice winter break: the thumping of Zurich in Schaffhausen was embellished with some truly spectacular goals and skills, with Frida Maanum’s delicate free kick scooping the virtual goal of the night award. The Norwegian wonderkid, who is truly […]
It could have been easier. It should have been easier. We held on to the goal scored by Vivianne Miedema and got a truly deserved win, but Everton had two huge chances to equalize and snatch a very unlikely point at Meadow Park. Although we cannot prevent opponents from having chances to score, we ought […]
What a nice way to start the new campaign! The four-nil win at home against Brighton had many protagonists and several highlights but, to me, Stina Blackstenius was the story of the night. The Swede, whose arrival raised a few eyebrows for all the wrong reasons, has been a constant pain for the Seagulls with […]
