‘The monkey jumps off and the giant roars’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective There are a handful of sleeping giants in world football. Juventus, Man United, AC Milan and probably others. There are those that win frequently. Barcelona, Porto, PSG, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Celtic, Man City and probably others. There are those […]
‘The pinch’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’m taking a calculated risk by admitting this. I’ve never thought that I’m mad or living in another reality but since the world went mad, I’ve thought about it. I’ve heard many people state that we are living in a scripted movie and this is how […]
‘Arsenal and the waterpark’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Now don’t be jealous. I live near two of the world’s best water parks. In fact, if I was American, I would probably say I live near seven of the best. Over in the US, they don’t think that four hours away is really […]
‘Remember the Times’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective It doesn’t seem possible for a group of players who all looked so far from their peak one week ago, to do what we saw against Fulham.

‘Fly them back from the moon’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I don’t believe that we’ve ever been to the moon. I believe Stanley Kubrick’s confession. All will be disclosed soon, I feel. A decent percentage of the Arsenal fanbase and football fans in general can’t leave Arsenal alone. They got in a […]
‘Miss Marple on a free transfer’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I jest, but I don’t. If I was the CEO of Arsenal I would spend the next seven days doing detective work at Arsenal. If Arsenal don’t win the Premier League and today’s performance is replicated in the Champions League then the […]
‘Arsenal on the couch’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Dr. Perspective the football therapist: Hi, Mike! Come on in and make yourself comfortable. I’m assuming you are an Arsenal fan? I’ve had lots of Arsenal fans this week. Me: Yes, sir I am an Arsenal fan. Partly optimistic and partly terrified. Doc: You […]
‘The Ferrari just came out of the garage’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective When I get to heaven I wonder if there is a time where you get to sit down with your guardian angel and ask them about the pivotal moments in your life. The moments where your life could’ve been very […]
