Arsenal Women. Every game.
(Happy to help)

A mix of thoughtful stuff & silly edits/humour. 👀 Women's football mostly. Music/film/expression
It's been another exciting couple of days with such a variety of Arsenal mugs being bought from the shop, a couple for the very first time 🫶🏼

As these are Print-on-demand & outside of my full control, act early if you can to guarantee delivery before Christmas.

Message if unsure ❤️🤍

Been such a great few days since launching our 1st Arsenal enamel badges on the '87-N5 store.

It's been hard to get the word out but really happy to have sold so many badges already 🫶🏼

Reminder to get yours early w/ Christmas posting deadlines fast approaching, Gooners

You just shouldn't take beautiful Italian Men off at half time, ever. You're just asking for trouble.

The Karma Gods have spoken.

I know he was on a yellow but Calafiori to LCB & MLS at LB to add more ball playing from CB might have been my preference.

Arsenal suffered a bit that half with losing CBs who can play out more comfortably.

Feel they can probably lure Hincapié into a 2nd yellow easier too.

Need to play now, too.

I'm surprised more isn't being made of it, but when Maresca asked Caicedo why he did that as he came off the pitch, if you read his lips he said "That Rice is too good, I don't want any part of this" 😮

Levels ❤️⚪

Further proof that Rice > Caicedo

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

After the strange, misfiring & controversial Subway Cup quarter final draw earlier this evening, the WSL need to step in and do the right thing by cancelling the draw & the sponsorship altogether and renaming it the Conti Cup once again.

It's the only way to salvage this.

I see it as less encouraging from KCC than it is the team in general. Kyra has great qualities & she's shown all of this before. Hopefully she can get a run to enjoy her football & really show the consistent level.

The team needed an adjustment & she's offered it this last week.

Give me all the scenarios in the World for someone to have this kind of moment and I'd probably not be happier for anybody more than Kieran Tierney. ❤️

I still would rather see changes above Renée before any thought of change.

It feels uncertain to me how aligned the management were to give Renée what she maybe felt she needed.

Moving Wally, only Kim as an ideal CM partner, not trusting KCC or Vic much among other things...

Can't help feeling my big disappointment today is a repeated pattern of ideas - or lack of them.

To again do the Stina sub no matter what, and only seemingly change personnel and not much tactically again.

And can somebody please make a near-post run one day & be 1st 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Rubiales's uncle was a known disliker of his disgraced nephew Luis, but still not quite on a bingo card to think he'd throw eggs at the Spaniards identically egg-looking head on stage.

He looked scrambled.

🥁 **badoom doosh**
Best yet, we got video of Luis Rubiales getting hit with eggs by his uncle, Luis Rubiales

Whilst there are some disappointing moments & there are frustrations, Renée more than deserves some patience from us all

She's still young, there's huge pressure, so much is new & to learn. And she's won the big one

We should't create such an environment, keep the support ❤️⚪

How's it feeling back home?

This felt perhaps the most naive set of in-game changes I can recall from us for a long time.

Increasingly lost more control, everyone chasing and blowing, but never changed to give support tactically, just personnel changes.

Seem accurate to you?

I drank so much beer which I hate and so many overly salted dry pretzels and spent so much money and gave my blood, sweat and tears vocally for the team to the point of being thanked by strangers after the game for this team today and what do we have to show for it?

❤️⚪

😄
November 12, 2025 at 8:25 PM
Could accept a loss against top sides.

But that is probably the worst way to do it.

Not a single substitution improved a thing, sadly and only got worse. Total collapse.

Great support tonight, had a great time with everybody. Thank you all. We have to move, I guess 😔

❤️⚪

Agree with every word from Tim in this piece and especially here re: Catley.

Would add that Chelsea did sign probably the most promising LCB in the game in Veerle Buurman recently who, similar to Reid, ascended fast as a teen to be a starter and make senior international squads.

Might be best bet.

They've got the balloons out for us already in Munich today, Gooners.

They know what's up ❤️⚪
