Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I purposedly waited before writing about our draw against Chelsea at home, because I feared my writing would be negatively impacted by the way the match ended and the fact that emotions were very high when the final whistle was blown. The result means that Arsenal Women have likely missed the […]
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! Another game went by, drawing towards the end of a very deflating campaign. Sure, we retained the Conti Cup defeating Emma Hayes’ team, but this season will surely go down as the most disappointing one of the past five years. All the promises of the brave run-in both in the […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Who would have dreamt of such a big win? The way our team destroyed league leaders Chelsea was simply amazing and beyond my wildest dreams. The impact of this win is reminiscent of Jonas Eidevall’s first game in charge, against the same opponent, in the same stadium: after years of […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados!

This Arsenal team has got something about it, hasn’t? From one-nil down to three-one up in the Conti Cup final against Chelsea. From one-nil down to two-nil up in the Champions League against Bayern Munich. From one-nil down to two-nil up in the league against Manchester City. Three big games against three big clubs, at […]
What a month, right? From winning the Conti Cup against Chelsea to qualifying for the Champions League semifinals for the first time in ten years! We March on, don’t we?No, I won’t apologize for the silly pun. Last night’s win against Bayern Munich was intoxicating and you will have to pay the price for it, […]
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 […]
It’s not really a déjà-vu but it feels like one.Wolfsburg is going to the Nou Camp, Chelsea is going to Wembley and we are left dealing with our regrets and recriminations. Another big day is gone and we are left disappointed by a team that looks still very vulnerable to pressure and struggles to cope […]
