A very subjective look into AWFC

As a fan base, we are very much spoiled. AWFC is the best and biggest club in the history of the sport in England, and even though the pendulum has swung towards Chelsea the past decade, there’s no question that, albeit historically, Arsenal are on top of the food chain.

But when the results aren’t there, when the trophies aren’t being won, when there’s a barren spell, us fans need to do what we can to try to turn things around from the outside in and continue to show support in every way possible and selling out the Emirates is just about as big as it gets, specially since its for a WSL match.

There is a universe in the near future where the girls play ALL home matches at The Emirates. As Viv said once: it’s not the men’s stadium, it’s the club’s. This is going to be a reality but I’m assuming that the powers that be need to see that attendance for it to be justified or however you wanna think about it.

We often hear that sold out crowds is what the girls deserve and I think that is applicable to all women football matches all over the world. Deserving is not the question, it’s more an accessibility thing for fans, as it relates to the price of admission, logistics and such. Luckily for local fans, the Emirates is very easy to get to and still the ticket prices are very affordable, all things considered.

Now, onto the match. I don’t really know what to expect but I’m confident in that stadium, in that crowd, the girls will be more than up for it. If nothing else, to send off our very own Jen Beattie in style.

And here’s how I would line them up, but we know Jonas won’t.
