Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women finished their first-ever US tour with a bitter although deserved defeat against rivals Chelsea, courtesy of a debut goal from Sandy Baltimore. This being a friendly match, I wouldn’t read too much into it, but the post-game words from Jonas Eidevall and the fact that we will play our […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Here comes the first issue of the Arsenal Women Journal for the season 2024/25. I hope you all had a good summer and are now ready to go for what could be a make-or-break season for Jonas Eidevall and some of his players. The official start of the season is still […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Another game went by, drawing towards the end of a very deflating campaign. Sure, we retained the Conti Cup defeating Emma Hayes’ team, but this season will surely go down as the most disappointing one of the past five years. All the promises of the brave run-in both in the […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados!Another double episode of your favourite Arsenal Women blog this week, as Jonas Eidevall’s team first grabbed a last-minute win at Southampton, in the Conti Cup group stage, then swept away West Ham at Meadow Park, in the WSL. It means we’ve now won eight consecutive games in all competitions and […]
Jonas spoke, the players listened.The Swede was very vocal about the need of being humble after the win in Lyon, pushing away any talk about us winning the Champions League or being favourites to replicate our success from 2007, and the team responded with a mature, assured performance against Zurich.Goals from Jordan Nobbs and Lina […]
That’s all, folks! The 2021/22 Women’s Super League campaign is over.We all wished we had a different ending, but it was never truly likely to happen. Yes, Manchester United took the lead twice at Kingsmeadow but it never really felt like we were going to win the league: our dream lasted 21 minutes, the […]
Today I’m happy that football won. Today we’re all happy that football won. North London remains red thanks to a goal from Beth Mead and a brace from Caitlin Foord, despite Tottenham’s attempts to turn a football match into a Royal Rumble, and we are all set for the final showdown, next Sunday. We had […]
It’s not really a déjà-vu but it feels like one.Wolfsburg is going to the Nou Camp, Chelsea is going to Wembley and we are left dealing with our regrets and recriminations. Another big day is gone and we are left disappointed by a team that looks still very vulnerable to pressure and struggles to cope […]
We had to win and we won. We had to score a lot and we did – although we left it late in the game.We didn’t quite match Chelsea’s 9-0 win but we scored five past Leicester and made sure we did our bit but unfortunately Chelsea also won easily against Reading, which means that […]
Sometimes you need to take things as they are. Sometimes you need to put things in context. Sometimes you need to accept things you cannot change (yet).Last night’s four-nil defeat to Barcelona was very close to the reverse fixture yet so far away: the scoreline was similar, the game was very different. It is hard […]
