The Final Day By guest writer, Jonah Jones It’s fair to say that leading into the Everton game, the majority of Arsenal fans had made peace with the fact that in all likelihood, the Premier League title wouldn’t be coming to North London. However, when arriving in N5, stepping out of Arsenal tube station, you […]
When tomorrow is gone An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Last week I was scrolling and found a quite profound video. It was a young guy interviewing folks in their 60’s/70’s/80’s and asking them for life advice. The two most common responses were a) enjoy each day and b) value time over material possessions. […]
‘Managing a used battery’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I thought that there was one big difference on Sunday that has been overlooked. Mikel Arteta out-coached Angie Pastacheesesauce. That’s made me hungry. My wife makes a wicked alfredo. I might host an Arsenal event and we can all swim in the deliciousness. My […]
What to make of that? An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I wasn’t expecting that. After rattling off 19 reasons why Arsenal are wicked brilliant just a couple of days ago, we were not close to wicked and only showed baby flashes of brilliance. Perhaps I needed to watch Arsenal in the CL before […]
I thought as we haven’t any Arsenal games until we play Manchester City on Easter Sunday I’d have a bit of fun by looking at the present team who in my opinion are the best side we’ve had since the Invincibles and comparing the two sides and seeing how many of the present team I […]
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. I was just watching Villa v Man United after our game. Although United are on a four game winning run and this might not seem like the best time […]
Two teams 1 One team 0 An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective “ I’ve been in football a long time. Games like today make me realize that when it’s time to leave football behind, I won’t be missing anything.” That was Roy Hodgson. On Saturday. I’ve seen Roy Hodgson upset, and he still manages to […]
Less Skyfall, more Goldfinger An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective For most of us, James Bond has been around our whole lives. I grew up with Roger Moore. He was my favorite. Probably because he was simply James Bond to me. I think I somewhat resented Sean Connery and Timothy Dalton. I felt bad […]
Thunder at the chess match An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, I’m not sure about you, but I was about to weep into my vegetable soup if we didn’t beat this version of Manchester United. Especially the last 15 minute version with Harry Maguire and Johnny Evans playing centre back. A team with […]
