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! Arsenal Women had to win, and they won. After a three-games winless run in the WSL that saw the team fall to fifth, our girls overcame a valiant Brighton at the Emirates Stadium and got back on track, although they are still sitting in fifth place in the table. Tottenham Hotspur’s […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Another day, another defeat for Renée Slegers and her players, who are now on a four-games winless streak. Facing OL Lyonnes at Meadow Park was always being a challenge but gifting them two goals made it unnecessarily hard. All things considered, it was an even contest between two high-quality teams, but […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! While an away draw at Manchester United wasn’t such a bad result, the home draw against Aston Villa has a whole different taste to it, also because the visitors struck at the very end. It is not to say they didn’t deserve their point, though: Aston Villa had several chances to […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women made a light work of WSL strugglers Leicester City, who were beaten 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. With the scoreline already 3-0 before the half-hour mark, there was little doubt that Renée Sleger’s team would take the three points and prepare in the best possible way […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The first question after the 4-0 win against Liverpool is simple: how could we lose to this very same side in the FA Cup quarter-final? 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 […]
The Arsenal Women Journal – A First Major Setback for Renée [ARS 0-1 LIV] Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I must say, I didn’t expect that result. Or, to be more accurate, I could have expected Liverpool to beat us thanks to a lucky shot, or even an own goal, but only in a scenario where […]
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 […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! This week’s Journal is very different from any other one, as I will take you all for a walk and introduce to you every single player included in the first team for season 2024/25! Veterans, new arrivals, mainstays, up-and-coming stars…we have plenty of great profiles in our squad, so let’s go. […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! A win is a win and a prestigious away win to current league leaders – which we hadn’t defeated at their place in seven years – is even more meaningful. Yet, at the back of my head, a little voice is asking “was it truly necessary?” Of course, I am […]
