Arsenal and Chelsea played out a dramatic 1–1 draw at the Emirates this weekend, but was it a fair result or daylight robbery? In this episode, I break down all the talking points from a tense clash between the WSL’s top rivals.

From team news and tactical tweaks to the chaos of disallowed goals, including two chalked off for Arsenal through Blackstenius and Maanum. Unpack every moment that left Gooners wondering how we didn’t walk away with three points.

Lauren also shares her experience from inside the Emirates, reflecting on the atmosphere, the energy, and the frustration in the stands, before diving into the wider debate: is it finally time to bring VAR to the WSL?

Plus, reflections on Arsenal’s Champions League win in Lisbon and that confident performance away at Leicester.

Are we in a good position now as we face Bayern Munich midweek, before a NLD against Spurs next weekend?

A full episode of highs, lows, and big opinions, because when Arsenal and Chelsea meet, it’s never just another game.

We’re back with another episode of Ladies In Red to dig into the start of Arsenal Women’s WSL campaign. Two wins, one loss, and third in the league. But should we be worried about our clinicalness in front of goal and the lack of clean sheets? With a squad absolutely stacked with depth, are Renee Sleger's best eleven still a mystery?

We’ll also dive into the fallout from the Ballon d’Or Féminin. Bonmatí lifted the big prize, but Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo missing out raised eyebrows. But we can celebrate as Arsenal were crowned Women’s Team of the Year. It’s a huge nod to the standards the Gunners are setting in the women’s game.

Finally, we’re looking ahead to the Champions League draw. The new format promises big clashes and serious challenges – but also some mouth-watering football for Arsenal fans.

If you’re here for proper Arsenal Women chat, thoughtful analysis and a touch of rage-baity energy over the awards, you’re in the right place.
