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! The first question after the 4-0 win against Liverpool is simple: how could we lose to this very same side in the FA Cup quarter-final? I don’t mean to be disrespectful towards Liverpool, of course, but the difference between the two games is quite appalling. Were we a bit too confident […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, we all knew this would happen, eventually, but I would have preferred for it to happen at another time and – most importantly – at another place. Guro Reiten’s late penalty at Stamford Bridge ended Renée Slegers’ unbeaten start and, most crucially, took any sense of jeopardy away from the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! What a start for our new permanent coach! We had to wait three whole months to finally land our main target, but it was definitely worth the wait, wasn’t it? The club took its time and Renée Slegers held the fort outstandingly while the recruitment process was conducted, but we finally […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I hope everyone had a wonderful time during the holiday season, and that everyone is ready and pumped for the second half of the season. Not much happened since we last spoke, except for three promising youngsters being handed their first professional contracts. Renée Slegers is still our interim head coach; […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!Not sure about you, but I still feel the adrenaline pumping after the breath-taking win against Bayern in what felt like an end-of-the-world night at Meadow Park. Second-half goals from Alessia Russo and Mariona Caldentey turned the scoreline in our favour after the 1-1 at half-time and ensured we would go through […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! What a weird afternoon in Liverpool: we should have won comfortably, we could have dropped a couple of points, and we ended making ground up on both Chelsea and Manchester City, who drew against Leicester City and lost to Everton, respectively. When Alessia Russo scored her sixth goal in the last […]
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! 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 […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! We had to wait until the very last few minutes, but we made it to the quarterfinals of the UWLC! A late, late strike from Lina Hurtig (more on her later) sunk Juventus and put us through the knock-out phase for the second time in three seasons. It took patience and […]
