Unfortunately all notes and memory of the 7th Episode of SheWore: All or Nothing is lost. So we will be playing an episode of Friends tonight instead.

Recap: After working hard to be front runners for top 4, three defeats from three games leaves the club in 6th place with games against Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham still to come. Top 4 dreams over?
Episode 6 – Back From the Brink
United (H)
Unfortunately, this huge fixture was scheduled in the dreaded 12:30pm kick-off slot. I’m convinced it exists solely to anger home and away match-going fans, as it is an absolute nuisance.
Regardless, The Eaglet was buzzing beforehand, everyone aware to a man that the team needed our full support.
Whilst a 3-1 result flattered us slightly, it felt like an enormous three points at the time after three abject showings against Palace, Brighton and Southampton.
Outside The Eaglet afterwards, I seem to recall Granit Xhaka being mistaken for Rob Holding. Curse those tinted windows!
This was followed by chants of
‘Super Jack Wilshere’ as an off-duty ambulance passed by.
Like many that day, a pal was going to the Tyson Fury after The Arsenal, so I ended up joining his crew in the Pins and The World’s End for a few before heading home on cloud nine.
The Arsenal social really is unmatched.

Recap: After 5 wins in a row, Arsenal sit 4th in the table. Champions League in their own hands. Facing the club now is games against Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton. Relatively easy fixtures considering what is to come…
Episode 4: The Collapse
Saints (A)
The only downside to securing tickets for this was that we had to (somewhat) monitor our booze consumption on the Bank Holiday Friday.
No matter, we were equipped with cans and, bizarrely, a bottle of watermelon vodka gifted to us by a fellow Gooner outside Waterloo.
The rattler down to Southampton was packed out not just with The Arsenal, but also a herd of tourists venturing to the seaside in Bournemouth for the first time.
We arrive into Yates bang on 11:30 and proceed to see one of the group – who shall remain nameless for the sake of his own pride – pour a can of Fosters into an empty plastic cup.
‘A smart strategy’, you may reason. To our amusement, that statement proves to be wrong when the result is 95% foam!
If there were Football League-wide awards handed out for the level of efficiency at letting in away fans, Southampton would be expelled into non-league.
The queueing system outside St. Mary’s was an absolute shambles, meaning we only just made it to our seats for kick-off.
On-pitch events will not be mentioned due to the ineptitude of the performance.
Whilst we were all in good spirits after arriving back at Waterloo, my personal away record in 2021-22 was dismal.
Four games attended, six goals against, no goals and two Arsenal red cards. Football, eh.
