Happy Match day!!
This made me laugh. Apparently Stina is quietly making big noise and flying under the radar… Not like she scored the winning goal in the CL final or anything. 😂🤷♀️
It is a good article and nice to see Stina getting a bit of love.

One of our own, here to stay. Leah Williamson has signed a new deal with The Arsenal 🏡❤️
We’re delighted to announce that Leah Williamson has signed a new contract with us.
Our vice-captain’s journey with Arsenal began 20 years ago in 2006, when an eight-year-old Leah had her first youth training session at Highbury.
In the two decades since, Leah has established herself as one of the best defenders in the world, winning virtually every trophy available at both club and international level and earning plaudits from across the game for her character, leadership and mentality.
Now aged 29, Leah has made 282 appearances for our club, scoring 17 goals. She counts one UEFA Women’s Champions League, one FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, one Barclays Women’s Super League, four League Cups and two FA Cups among her achievements here at Arsenal.
As England captain, Leah made history by leading the Lionesses to back-to-back UEFA European Women’s Championship titles in 2022 and 2025. She was made an OBE following that first Euros win, while an MBE followed in 2026. In total, Leah has won 67 England caps, scoring five goals.
Leah has received plenty of deserved individual recognition over the years, most recently a Ballon d’Or nomination in 2025 and inclusion in the FIFPRO World XI and UEFA Women’s Champions League Team of the Year, both also in 2025.
Everyone at the club looks forward to Leah’s continued leadership and performances here at Arsenal.
What are some of your favourite moments from Leah over the years? ⬇️

ArsenalWFC April Book Club - Something funny!
Welcome back to another edition of the book club! As April started with Fool's Day, and the world is burning down around us, I thought it might be nice for something more light-hearted and funny to get us through at least through this month. It was a slower month for me, as I was in hospital for a little while, but also just the brain was not so accomodating for the reading. My submission for the something funny is 'Sister Svangerd and the Not Quite Dead' by K.J. Parker, who for me is always a guaranteed amusing time. My other reads this month were:
- Daughter of Crows by Mark Lawrence
- The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel
- Steel Gods by Richard Swan
- Careless People: A Careless Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams
- The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis
- On the Calculation of Volume IV by Solvej Balle
- Code Name Funnel Web by Camille Booker
- Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
- Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent
- Secrets by Judi Morison
- The Artist’s Portrait by Julie Keys
What did you read this month? If it didn't fit the theme that's okay, we still want to know. Next month's theme is: Something unexpected from you (take that as you will)!
