Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! While most of our girls are busy with their national teams around the world, allow me to take a moment to rewind the tape and go back to the turbulent days that led to Jonas Eidevall’s resignation from his head coach role for the Arsenal Women team, in October. The Swede […]
Double, double, toil and trouble, In London and Manchester, big games did bubble Early at the Etihad, Haaland scored City hoped to put Arsenal to the sword Maanum scored early to set the tone Could the ladies go on to beat City at home? A quality pass from Martinelli And what a finish by Calafiori […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! That’s it then. The season is officially over. We finished third, retained the league cup, handed the title to Chelsea and Emma Hayes (sigh…) and recorded a big, welcome win on the final day. The five-nil thrashing of Brighton was a nice way to wrap-up a turbulent season and offered […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Double dose of AWFC content this week, as our girls played against Bristol City in the Conti Cup and then against Leicester City in the Women’s Super League.Double dose, double delight as we came up on the winning side on both occasions. The League Cup at Meadow Park, which saw […]
Hello Arsenal Women aficionados!The traditional Arsenal Women Journal might well be on holidays mode but that’s no reason to rest. The Arsenal Women team has a big summer ahead after coming dramatically close to the Champions League final and falling behind Chelsea and Manchester United in the league: Rafaelle has left to join the Orlando […]
Another game against Chelsea, another hurtful result.Once again, we are left ruing the missed chances, the lack of composure in front of goal. Chelsea took their chances while we didn’t and that, combined with some poor defending, cut our FA Cup journey very short. Jonas Eidevall reverted to a back four, with Liä Walti and […]
Where do we go from here? The question has been doing rounds in my head since the final whistle went at the Academy Stadium of Manchester. We deservedly lost to Manchester City and are now fourth in the table, five points behind Chelsea in first and three behind Manchester United in second. Manchester City leapfrogged […]
What a crucial, welcome, deserved win at the Emirates Stadium for the Arsenal Women team, against Juventus. After being held to a draw in Turin, Jonas Eidevall’s side managed to see off the Italians and make a big step towards the knock-out phase. It is not done yet, but we are incredibly close to sealing […]
At home. To Manchester United.It doesn’t get much worse than this, in terms of ending an amazing 14-games win streak. Maybe Manchester United didn’t deserve to snatch the whole three points but they didn’t deserve to lose, for sure. From our side, we looked disjointed and insecure: we couldn’t keep hold of the ball, distances […]
Champions League, here we come!It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t easy, but we made it to the group stage, which was the ultimate goal. Vivianne Miedema’s long-range strike was enough to see off a spirited Ajax side that threatened to spoil the party, midway through the second half.A matter of inches, really, exactly those that […]
