Last night I suddenly realized how much I missed this kind of European night. Sure, the men’s team played a couple of Europa League semifinals at the Emirates but nothing really beats a Champions League knock-out game at home. Although the result wasn’t great, the performance from the girls was very encouraging and I bet […]
I’ll get to the referee later, promised.Tobin Heath stoppage-time equaliser is all I think about, at the moment. When the ball went in, I could not help thinking that justice was finally delivered because it would have been fairly hugely unfair to lose the game after that opener. Football isn’t fair, generally speaking, another reason […]
What an incredible night.TS Hoffenheim needed to win with a five-goals margin to dislodge us from the second spot and qualify for the quarter-finals and came very close to achieve that despite not doing anything stellar to get there. I cannot think of a better way to describe last night’s game than to compare it […]
There’s a first time for everything, including scoring your first European goal. Last night was a first for Steph Catley, Anna Patten and Caitilin Foord, who were on the scoresheet during the 5-1 win against HB Køge. It was tough to break down Køge’s deep-low block but once Steph Catley’s marevellous free-kick went in, the […]
Last night was Arsenal Women’s first must-win game of the season and they delivered. Big time. Although the final scoreline could be considered a bit harsh on the Germans, especially after the first half, the win is well deserved. In a night that saw us scoring four goals, it was our off-the-ball shape and performance […]
If there is one game that could have ended our perfect start of the season, it was the UWCL tie against Barcelona.The reigning champions continue to look way ahead of any competition in Europe and that includes us, obviously. No surprise here, really: they were the better team on paper and confirmed it on the […]
Wherever they go. Wherever they go. It’s fair to say that it’s been a great few days for us Gooners: the men’s team won the North London Derby, the women’s team thrashed Manchester City five-nil and last night Jonas Eidevall’s girls battered Sp*rs in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Tottenham get battered wherever they […]
UEFA Women’s Champions League…HERE WE COME! Last night’s four-nil win in Prague, combined with the three-nil win at Meadow Park in the first leg, sealed our return to the elite European competition. It was “never in doubt” as a wise man once (allegedly) said but it is not over until it is over, so we […]
