By Tony Attwood It’s been not so much of a funny old game as a funny old season. Arsenal Ladies played their first league match yesterday (April 13) in the new super league and beat Chelsea. Except that it wasn’t quite their first match of the season. With the Women’s League moving to the summer …

This is a story of life and death. And acting. And celebration. It is the story of a club from the Russian Premier League side FC Moscow which has gone bust just a short while after their oligarch owner, a man in the Roman Abramovich league, pulled out, having decided to switch sports. And it …
At the end of this season, it finishes. It is all over. No more. I speak of course of the FA Tesco Women’s Premier League of 12 clubs. The winner of the league will be the final winner, because that’s it. What happens between May 2010 and March 2011 I am not sure – there …

Arsenal – We have money available, but with the news that we have apparently signed the Brazilian forward 16 year old Wellington Silva for £3.5m and seemingly we are about to buy a second young lad from the same country, that might be it. There is still all the talk that we need a new …

When the big games come I get nervous – just like most supporters I guess. Probably the worst occasion was the final game at home to Leicester in the Unbeaten Season. I had hoped I would be dancing and singing and having a lovely time, taking photos and all. But the silly buggers were one …
