What a nice way to start the new campaign! The four-nil win at home against Brighton had many protagonists and several highlights but, to me, Stina Blackstenius was the story of the night. The Swede, whose arrival raised a few eyebrows for all the wrong reasons, has been a constant pain for the Seagulls with […]
It’s no longer an experiment but a wonderful winning formula found by Jonas Eidevall, instead. I want to give credit where due, because the Swedish coach turned it around beautifully since the turn of the year and it shows, week after week. The new setup and the different roles, coupled with the smart January recruitment, […]
Four is a magic number!Arsenal scored four goals for the third time in a row and defeated Birmingham City at home, to open an eight-points gap at the top with Chelsea. Emma Hayes’ team, who suffered a defeat in the Conti Cup final against Manchester City, will play West Ham on Thursday and will have […]
We want you to stay!We want you to stay!Oh, Vivianne Miedema we want you to stay! Those at Meadow Park or in front of their screen heard it, Vivianne Miedema herself heard it loud and clear: we want you to stay! The second consecutive four-nil win saw the Dutch star showcase some qualities that might […]
Not too bad of a result, all things considered. Given that we had a left-back at centre-half, that we conceded another goal on set-piece and that we were down to ten players with fifteen minutes to go, snatching a point against Man Utd isn’t too bad. It tastes bittersweet, though: we went into this game […]
Mission. Accomplished. The quest for the 15th trophy is still on. We were favorites against the London City Lionesses and it showed, although ours wasn’t exactly a scintillating performance. Journalists often refer to this kind of wins as “professional”, as if others weren’t. Anyway, we progress to the next round thanks to Vivianne Miedema’s first-half […]
It is THAT time of the year, ladies and gentlemen! It is time to look back at the bad and good of this crazy, forgettable year and get done with it, once for all. This year started with three disappointing results in the league and a feeling that Joe Montemurro and team were losing their […]
How painful was it? The three-nil defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup Final was hurtful like very few other defeats before that have been. We were dominated, humbled, punished by a Chelsea team that was simply too much to handle for our players and our head-coach. Before digging into the technical and tactical aspects […]
What a win! Convincing, impressive, dominant…you choose. The 2-0 win at Leigh Sports Village means we go into the international break at the top of the table, one point ahead of Chelsea. Well done, ladies. Yesterday’s game was about getting right on track after a disappointing draw in the North London Derby and rebuffing Chelsea’s […]
We’re going to Wembley, Gooners! We will face Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday, 5th of December: be there if you can, support the team in their quest for their first trophy of the season. Jonas Eidevall’s team have a chance to win their 15th FA Cup and extend their record in the competition, which is […]
