‘He could / He will’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This post is different to usual. I think the positives, needs and all the other stuff is somewhat irrelevant after Fulham. There is one clear issue to discuss. As ever, I attempt to find a solution. Group 1. Showing up for work at […]
‘You don’t want to play Arsenal’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Oh, how football changes so quickly. Oh, how quick we are to look at our coaching and player talent and fear and forget. Oh, how quickly we lose faith. About a month ago, the title of this blog could’ve been, ‘A great […]
‘The door that didn’t slide’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective As I’ve been traveling and ‘blog absent,’ this will cover the Forest and Lisbon games. After the Forest game rolled around, I was less concerned about our form than I was about how Arteta was being viewed. I knew we would rebound […]
‘Crossing without finishing’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective For those that live in the United Kingdom, you might be familiar with a playground game called ‘Headers and Volleys.’ I say ‘playground’ but we played it everywhere. We played it before school. We played it during playtime. We played it during field hockey practice […]
The BIG little An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I just open Twitter. I just closed Twitter. I’m a big fan of this app mostly out of appreciation for the friends that I have met through it.

Sleeping in UpsideDownWorld An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, I watched the game at my former boss’ house. I always wished he wasn’t my boss because we get along so well and watching football with him is fun. He’s a Liverpool fan. We don’t often go to his house but I took almost […]
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 […]
