At the start of every away match, the travelling contingent of Arsenal supporters break into an a cappella rendition of the chorus of the club’s unofficial anthem, The Angel, more commonly known as ‘North London Forever’.
Last Saturday, the lyrics, “whatever the weather” felt particularly apt. As Storm Boelo brewed above the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Arsenal fans still showed up in their droves, filling an away allocation comprised of just under 4,000 tickets as they witnessed their team pick up a vital 2-1 win — the team’s first since the opening weekend of the WSL season.
Arsenal’s performances and results have left much to be desired, but one thing that cannot be questioned is the commitment of the supporters themselves, who have continued to show up in spite of their team’s struggles. Reporting from the away end at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, The Cutback was on hand to gauge the mood of the Arsenal fans.
Reflecting on the season so far, a common theme was the sense of deja vu with Arsenal once again making a stuttering start to their campaign.
“It feels like it’s just been the same story every year,” says home-and-away match-goer George.
