They said it quietly at first, like a superstition you don’t dare say out loud. Then louder, bolder, until it rolled through pubs, group chats, and North London streets like a familiar drumbeat rediscovered: It’s coming home. North London’s throne. Reclaimed. Not the old joke. Not the meme. Not the yearly setup for the fall. […]
Arsenal have an important opportunity tonight to secure three points, build goal difference, and apply even more pressure on Manchester City ahead of their potential banana skin trip to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. On paper, Arsenal should comfortably dispatch this already relegated Burnley side. But as we’ve seen throughout this title race, nothing feels […]

I have never plated for a team where millions are watching and hoping. I have never played under their expectation. None of my coaches come close […]
‘The day they became Arsenal’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I didn’t realize what I was looking at until I was in Kentucky. I took Max and his mate Jake to Cincinnati this weekend to watch the MLS opener vs Atlanta United. Terrible first half, better second half, Cincy won 2-0. The talk […]
‘ The Odegaard Conundrum ‘ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Editor’s Note: Apologies for the late delivery of this article. Gunners Town has moved to a new server and there were some hiccups in transferring. This blog has become even more relevant since Mike delivered it on Monday this week. Apologies to Mike […]
