Good evening Arsenal Women aficionados! Not all heroes wear a cape, they said, but the Club should start considering launching a new fashion range with capes branded with Katie McCabe and her number 15. The Ireland captain was once again the savoir, although in a less dramatic way compared to the stoppage-time equalizer against Aston […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Remember when I wrote about the new dawn for the Arsenal Women’s season? Well, the sun is finally out. Katie McCabe and Alessia Russo late goals gave us a well-deserved win against Aston Villa and pushed away all the clouds that were casting shadows over the Emirates Stadium, on Sunday. […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Some goals are not just goals, they are something more than the ball hitting the back of the net. There are circumstances when scoring a goal can change the whole narrative for a player, or for a team. Sometimes for both. Cloé Lacasse last gasp wonder strike against Manchester United […]
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.

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 […]
