The Reneesance

1 week ago | arseblog.com | Tim Stillman

When Jonas Eidevall resigned as the Head Coach of Arsenal Women in October, it is not my opinion that Arsenal were in disarray.

After Arsenal Women paraded the Champions League trophy in front of their fans at Emirates Stadium, Steph Catley spoke to a few members of the press. With thanks to Football London’s Tom Canton for the transcription. How are you feeling? It’s pretty overwhelming to be honest. That was insane. I’ve never felt like that in my life.
