I look forward to watching Mikel Arteta’s press conferences. Not just because he’s the Arsenal manager and my interest in Arsenal and our games, although obviously that’s the primary reason I even bother tuning in (I’m not sat at home watching every Pep Guardiola Man City press scrum). Not just for Arteta’s salacious transfer tittle-tattle […]
At just eighteen years old, Lewis-Skelly has already showcased the attributes that make him an exciting prospect. His performances in Arsenal’s youth ranks displayed his dynamic ability and multifaceted imagination.

Arsenal’s decision to sign Declan Rice from West Ham for a club-record fee was a serious statement of intent by the Gunners. More than just a defensive-minded midfielder, Rice is very much the complete package, blending physicality with intelligence. He’s a defensive shield that can also drive the team forward.

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 […]
