Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! You didn’t dream, it was real: Arsenal are champions of Europe (again!). In what could be described as one of the biggest upsets in women’s football, Renée Slegers and her players defeated the mighty Barcelona Femení in Lisbon. A goal from Stina Blackstenius was enough to bring home the second UWCL […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women made a light work of WSL strugglers Leicester City, who were beaten 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. With the scoreline already 3-0 before the half-hour mark, there was little doubt that Renée Sleger’s team would take the three points and prepare in the best possible way […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The game was lost, then won, then almost thrown away, moments before full-time. Being an Arsenal fan is unhealthy, isn’t it? For the first game after the international break, Renée Slegers handed Chloe Kelly her first start of her second spell with Arsenal, and the former Manchester City winger repaid the […]
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!

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! A win is a win and a prestigious away win to current league leaders – which we hadn’t defeated at their place in seven years – is even more meaningful. Yet, at the back of my head, a little voice is asking “was it truly necessary?” Of course, I am […]
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! “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! Some goals are not just goals, they are something more than the ball hitting the back of the net. There are circumstances when scoring a goal can change the whole narrative for a player, or for a team. Sometimes for both. Cloé Lacasse last gasp wonder strike against Manchester United […]
Hello Arsenal Women aficionados! The traditional Arsenal Women Journal might well be on holidays mode but that’s no reason to rest. Last week I was stating the obvious when I said that the Arsenal would have a very busy summer ahead of them, but what was less obvious was how quickly they would start bringing […]
