Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Of course they won, didn’t they? Arsenal Women got three massive points at Stamford Bridge, leaving Chelsea with a mountain to climb to retain the title (ah-ha!) while slightly consolidating their chances to finish in the UWCL spots for the next season. Second-half goals from Beth Mead and Mariona Caldentey were […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!It was too good to be true, wasn’t it? During more than an hour, the Arsenal Women team were all over Bayern Munich, in Germany, and could have scored five, six goals. The intensity, purpose, aggression and organization showed by the players, masterfully directed by Renée Slegers, were sensational, and the hosts […]
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! Not sure about you, but I haven’t quite recovered from last night: the control, assertiveness, purpose and intensity of the team’s performance in such a big occasion has left me in awe of the players, the coach and the staff. Overcoming a two goals deficit against a team that is very, […]
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 […]

Veterans, new arrivals, mainstays, up-and-coming stars…we have plenty of great profiles in our squad, so let’s go. […]
Hello Arsenal Women aficionados, and welcome to the latest episode of the Arsenal Women Journal!Today’s episode is supposed to be a very happy one, but for various reasons I can’t feel like celebrating. Sure, beating Chelsea and Emma Hayes always tastes very sweet and so does bringing home another piece of silverware, but some very […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Today’s Arsenal Women Journal will be slightly different from the usual ones. 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! “Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in” famously said Michael Corleone in Godfather, part III (or Silvio in The Sopranos, if you prefer) and I cannot help feeling the same way, today. The comprehensive away win at London City Lionesses in the Conti Cup and […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, well – this wasn’t meant to be a double episode of the Arsenal Women Journal, but I caught a big cold that kept me in bed for a week. The moment I take my eyes off the team, we unexpectedly lose to West Ham and basically throw away the […]
