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. […]
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 […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! The Arsenal Women team is finally back, after the winter break. There is so much to unpack, since we last spoke, that I’m afraid this will become a long read – but stick with me, please. A month ago, when I reported about the North London Derby defeat at the […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! As soon as the final whistle blew, I could see the blogs and articles being published about how Tottenham are growing, how they heroically overcame their nemesis and how they deservedly won their first North London Derby, ever.Truth is, Spurs’ goalkeeper Votikova pulled a player of the match performance, and […]
The game against Everton had a déjà-vu element to it: four-nil at the break and a nasty injury to one of our players. I purposely held back this episode of the journal as I wanted to have some clarity about the extent of Lia Wälti’s injury and I was relieved to hear that the player […]
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, […]
