Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! There is no football to talk about today. This is a special feature of the Arsenal Women Journal, dedicated to two very special players who will be leaving the club in the summer. Arsenal website broke the news and our hearts a few days ago, and the wound is still open: […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Sometimes you need a strike of luck to go all the way through, and our beloved team had plenty of that against Chelsea. Don’t get me wrong, they played very well and scored three beautiful goals, but Chelsea can consider themselves unlucky to leave North London with a two-goals deficit after […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Our beloved team is having a mixed week, so far, and I cannot say I feel confident going into the third game of the last seven days. The two-nil win against Aston Villa on Sunday, courtesy of second half goals from Stina Blackstenius and Kim Little, made sure that the Gunners […]
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! Was it a cross? Was it a strike? Does anyone care? Beth Mead’s second goal will go down as one of this season’s finest, the icing on a truly exquisite cake baked by Renée Slegers and her players. The four-nil win away to Crystal Palace ensured that we could prepare the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The game was lost, then won, then almost thrown away, moments before full-time. Being an Arsenal fan is unhealthy, isn’t it? For the first game after the international break, Renée Slegers handed Chloe Kelly her first start of her second spell with Arsenal, and the former Manchester City winger repaid the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, well…we are getting used to this, aren’t we? Another game, another win and another dominant display from our girls, who made light work of Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Early goals from Alessia Russo and Frida Maanum set the tone before super-sub Stina Blackstenius added a third in the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! This week’s journal is a matter of seeing our glass half-empty or half-full.
