‘Could Arsenal become what is supposed to be a joke?’ An Arsenal blog that should be everybody’s perspective When I first started going to football, there was a chant that I got particularly attached to. It was the quite ridiculous ‘ we’re by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen.’ I liked it […]
‘Blooming Fruits’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This should really be about a hat trick hero or a big win in a big game or another statement to the league. Then I read this and got pissed off. I’m getting rather frustrated at hearing opposing coach’s using Arteta’s experience at Arsenal as […]

Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!When Caroline Weir scored her wonder goal, mid-way through the first half, everything looked lost. The game, the trophy, the season. All gone.

The intensity, purpose, aggression and organization showed by the players, masterfully directed by Renée Slegers, were sensational, and the hosts […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I purposedly waited before writing about our draw against Chelsea at home, because I feared my writing would be negatively impacted by the way the match ended and the fact that emotions were very high when the final whistle was blown. The result means that Arsenal Women have likely missed the […]
56,500 were in attendance to the only recorded moment in history when fans, management and players pleaded for VAR to be clear and obvious. At mid-day, deep in the control room at Stockley Park, a lonely VAR official put on his headset,and settled in for his afternoon shift. Chelski went 1-0 up after 9 minutes […]
Has anyone ever…..? An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective You may have heard this before…. I was at a tryout/trial for a good team back in the day. The first activity was simple. The coach wanted everyone to simply run around touching the cones. He said that we could stop anytime we wanted to, […]
