A different band of brothers An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Every once in a while, and really not very often, Arsenal’s impressive band of brothers send out their actual brothers to play instead. Perhaps it’s our way of protesting against the amount of games. Perhaps we are simply resting players and utilizing Central […]
Five years later An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Max was home alone watching the PSG game. I miss not having him on our car rides back and forth to school as he is now doing home school. School curriculum is getting a lil weird and American schools are a target for nut […]
Through the fog of stress An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’ve sat here for a rather long time trying to figure out the story of the game. A really unique game. Arsenal were largely extremely good but you know that. Leicester’s keeper had a big day but their defence rode their luck […]
…… and like that, it’s gone An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The Usual Suspects. The greatest ending to a movie I’ve ever seen. I’m not going to try to link Keyser Soze to this game although if you told me Michael Oliver was Keyser Soze, I might believe you today. I just […]
‘Mikel Mignon’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Flank steak thinks it’s good.

I’ve intentionally waited 2 days before writing this and watched the game twice without emotion. On behalf of Arsenal fans and confused football fans in general, I would like you to answer these questions about […]
‘Felt like April’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’m sitting in the cozy corner watching Inter Miami v Cincinnati. Max and I were discussing how Inter Miami, FC Cincinnati, Columbus Crew and LAFC would do in a competitive game against a PL team. If you don’t watch MLS (I rarely do), you’ll be […]
XG Building An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Firstly, apologies for the delay in writing. The plan this weekend was to drive to DC to watch the Arsenal ladies, not have my car give out on me and spend $600 on being disappointed. I’m still reeling from the weekend, so this will be shorter […]
Who Arsenal really are An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Sometimes I think that people are getting fed up with extreme opinions. In a world of extreme ridiculousness that seems like an actual dream you’d be embarrassed to tell anyone about because they’d laugh at you, I think many are now seeking the actual […]
