Arsenal compound Man United’s miserable weekend, as the race for the title hots up! – AWFC Journal
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 […]
Saturday Night’s Alright: have Arsenal’s Street Fighting Years returned?
There has been a lot of talk about Arsene returning to The Arsenal in some capacity and just maybe this has happened sooner than we think. Similar to Wenger’s infamous spat with Maureen back in 2014. Mikel came close to blows with Klopp on Saturday night. Presumably NOT the after effects of an afternoon on […]
Composure and Confidence: Arsenal have their pockets picked by relentlessly intense Liverpool [LIV 4-0ARS]
Composure and Confidence POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I’m writing this late in the day. Had to take time out from being disappointed. I just wasn’t expecting a return to shooting ourselves in the foot and quietly I thought that our momentum could sneak us a 1-0. I admittedly floated off to my dream state of […]

Sadly Arsenal will have to cash in on Eddie Nketiah in January
The long running Eddie Nketiah story is again in the headlines as the player is reported to be reluctant to extend his stay in North London. The England Under 21s record goal scorer feels he need to be playing regularly and at 23 by the end of this season I have some sympathy for him. […]
Tavares or Tierney v Liverpool or perhaps both??
As an Arsenal fan it is a lovely position to be in, where you have two players that are superb in their role, vying to be the first choice. For a manager, in this case Mikel Arteta, it must be wonderful, and this is exactly what the Spaniard will face in the coming weeks, and […]
AWFC Journal: Disappointing North London Derby as Arsenal Women Drop First Points.
Our winning streak had to stop, eventually. It did, at the Hive, where we almost lost our invincibility. That would have been unbearable! Vivianne Miedema’s late, late header rescued a point for Jonas Eidevall’s team, which deserved much better but almost lost the first North London Derby in the league. We had the chances, we […]
A deeper dive into Tomiyasu and his role in Arsenal’s victory against Watford
Prior to the season commencing, there was no denying that Arsenal were in desperate need of a right back. But not just any right back, someone who possessed a profile that stylistically suited the plan Mikel Arteta had in mind. Max Aarons and Emerson Royal were linked with moves to the Emirates, but neither of […]
A Night of Firsts for the Arsenal unbeatables – AWFC Journal
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 […]
