Another thumping win in a North London Derby, what a delight! A brace from Caitlin Foord and a goal apiece from captain Kim Little and Frida Maanum painted north London red once again, propelling the team much closer to the top of the table. We might have moved from fourth to…fourth but we made a […]
How could we not score at the Allianz Arena?This question is still working me up, several hours after the final whistle.We definitely deserved more from the first leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals, especially in the second half, yet we head home with what is probably the worst possible score we could take. […]
When you can’t see great An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I am a blessed man. Feeling very blessed. I think those are two different things. If there is one emotion in my life that I can’t shake, it’s that. I offer thanks at least twice in the day. Not just for the […]
What a wonderful half of football that was! I know that we all have a feeling for why we played so good, no one is blind to that fact. But sometimes you know something from feeling but you don’t know the details of it. I have tried to concretize the rotations and adaptations in that […]

The bad news of a cold night in North London was the absence of Steph Catley, who was […]
Arsenal Women lifted the Continental Tyres Cup for the sixth time since its inception, the last one being in 2018. It’s the first trophy for Jonas Eidevall as Arsenal head-coach and the first trophy for the club since the league win in 2019 – four years ago. Contrarily to what a bitter Emma Hayes said […]
Gabriel Ballon d’Or Martinelli. OKAY, Hear me out. Gabriel Martinelli is not a traditional winger. And he isn’t (yet) a proper striker. What is he then, you ask? He is the same profile as Madrid years Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7 in those years wasn’t a pure winger, but he always started out on the left. He […]
As sure as the sun rises in the East and Chelsea abuse the FFP, the serial Arsenal/Arteta hater has found a way to be offended by The Arsenal……Again. This time it’s not: Over exuberant celebrations Mikel Arteta’s passion, OR Breaching technical area limitations. This time it’s ……. Scoring goals in added added time!!!! While ‘hanging […]
