The summer of 2029 feels very distant, whether you think of it as the year of the next Women’s Euros, the year when theoretically there will be the next UK general election or the year when a near-Earth asteroid larger than the Emirates Stadium is scheduled to pass by our planet.
When it comes to English women’s football Arsenal, with an unrivalled 48 major trophies, are as large a celestial body as you can get, but in terms of domestic success they have been rather stuck in orbit since their most recent WSL title in 2019, and nobody at the club will want to imagine reaching 2029 and having gone a decade without a league title.
