The Arsenal Women Journal – We’re Going to Lisbon! [ARS 1-2 OL, OL 1-4 ARS]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I am lost for words. Speechless. The magnitude of the Arsenal Women’s result against European serial-winners Olympique Lyonnais is gargantuan, especially if you consider that we travelled to France on the back of a 2-1 loss at the Emirates Stadium.

Partey not at the Party – The Midfield and team permutations for the Semi-Final 1st Leg.
For an experienced player to let his teammates and manager down with a silly and needless booking was disappointing. Obviously, it did not spoil the moment for the fans and the club, reaching their first Champions League Semi Final for 16 years, but with Jorginho injured the Ghanaian’s absence certainly gives Arteta a headache. […]

Myles Lewis-Skelly: Destined for Greatness
Arsenal’s Hale End academy has emerged as a consistent provider of readymade talents, with various homegrown prospects emerging from the youth teams and making a name for themselves at the Emirates Sadium.

I feel sorry for Arsenal (Positives Needs & Hopes) [ARS 1-1 BRE]
I feel sorry for Arsenal An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Is sympathy an emotion that a football fan should feel? Aren’t we supposed to be elated or disgusted? Well, I feel sorry for us. I’m sure at the end of the season that I will write a piece sharing all of the emotions […]
