‘Mikel Mignon’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Flank steak thinks it’s good. It doesn’t show up on the menu often so it’s considered ‘special.’ “Oh, they’ve got flank steak, honey.” At this point you are being conned but because it’s a hard find, you go along with your wife and order flank steak.

The need for inevitability An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This is technically Part 2 of this weeks blog. Part one was dedicated to a nice chap called Chris. You can read about Chris and what he was up to on the weekend right here…. I sit here guilty of what I’m going […]
‘If you hadn’t noticed’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Conversation with football friends is for most their favourite part of the experience. It’s the part I dearly miss living in the hills of Tennessee. I love writing because I love writing but also because there are so many people that jump in the […]
And here we go again, Jeff ‘I used to sit and watch football in a studio’ Stelling, has called out Benny Blanco for committing the heinous crime of ‘playing cards on holiday’. Jeff Stelling on Ben White: “He decided he didn’t want to play for England and he has been enjoying his time there […]

‘When the chips stood up’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Chips confuse me. They’d confuse you if you’d spent half your life in England and half in the States. I actually had a conversation the other day about why Cheetos and Wotsits are trying to be the same thing but because the US […]
‘Not far from the end of the book’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective There is a book…. A book that only one man sees. It resides in Mikel Arteta’s back pocket. He only lets his coaching staff see it a chapter at a time. He only lets his players learn from it one […]
The way you make me feel An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Do Arsenal turn me on? In a way, I suppose. A different way. Knock me off of my feet? More like get me up from my cosy corner, but sure. Are my lonely days gone? Well, they probably are. I certainly feel […]
To see Arsenal, see Manchester United An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The headline might confuse. I know we played a different United, don’t worry.
