Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Our girls were back in action this weekend after returning from the international break, and I was a bit worried that all the travelling and the minutes played across the globe would have a negative impact on our performance. Bar a period of ten minutes or so, it wasn’t the case. […]
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. […]
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 […]

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 […]
The Arsenal Women’s season is all but over. The away defeat at Chelsea and the Manchester derby going to the Red Devils meant that we will finish the season in third – unless something unprecedented happens on the final day. It would take a very heavy defeat at home to Aston Villa and a big […]
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 […]
Champions League, here we come! The narrow home win against Leicester, followed by the empathic four-nil thumping of a valiant Brighton team and coupled with the unexpected Manchester City loss against Liverpool, propelled us to the third place, the last one that gives access to the European’s top competition. Once again, I want to hail […]
It’s no longer an experiment but a wonderful winning formula found by Jonas Eidevall, instead. I want to give credit where due, because the Swedish coach turned it around beautifully since the turn of the year and it shows, week after week. The new setup and the different roles, coupled with the smart January recruitment, […]
