Hello and welcome to another episode of the Arsenal Women Askcast on Asplog.com.

The best podcast about the Arsenal Women's Team because it's the only podcast dedicated

solely to the Arsenal Women's Team. And this month we're going to take a little look

of the 21st century. And we just discuss why it was that Arsenal blazed such a trail

for women's football in the 90s and why they were the biggest and best team and why they
