‘Stick it, li’l bro!’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, here is the first blog of the new season and I give full credit to Max McDonald for the title. I spent way too long thinking of something intelligent to write about in this opening piece, […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! If there were doubts around Arsenal Women’s level of concentration and focus for the home game against Leicester City, sandwiched between the UWCL semifinals against Olympique Lyonnes, those were blown away on Wednesday night. While the men’s team was fighting hard for an away draw in Madrid, Renée Slegers and her […]
‘Fly them back from the moon’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I don’t believe that we’ve ever been to the moon. I believe Stanley Kubrick’s confession. All will be disclosed soon, I feel. A decent percentage of the Arsenal fanbase and football fans in general can’t leave Arsenal alone. They got in a […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!It’s been a looooooooooong time, right? Arsenal Women finally took the pitch again after the international break and left off exactly where they were, recording their eight and ninth consecutive wins in all competitions. It might be well too late for a title push, but we’re potentially second in the standings and […]
‘Can we do this down the park?’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I have never played for the quadruple. I have never played in front of 60,000. 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 […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The team waved goodbye to 2025 in style, with three consecutive away wins against Everton in the WSL, OH Leuvenin the UWCL and Crystal Palace in the league cup. More goods news came from the treatment room, which is finally getting (rather) empty now that Leah Williamson and Kim Little are […]
So many debates have been had about which striker would be better, ‘prospect’ and athletic monster Sesko or ‘ready now’ flat track bully Gyokores, but we all have that nagging concern, what if we don’t land either? After all the club has previous for this kind of behaviour, most notably in the last two transfer […]
‘A wasted week’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Have no fear. I’m not going to scream and shout. I would hope that you read this because I offer solutions and some unique analysis. Never wanted to do a match report and most certainly don’t ever want to try to get readers by being […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Renée’s first home game at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal’s permanent head coach could not have been more memorable! The 5-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur has been the perfect medicine after the sucker punch received from Mary Fowler and Manchester City in the league cup semifinal, at Meadow Park. The blow […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! This week’s journal is a matter of seeing our glass half-empty or half-full. The narrow loss to Häcken was frustrating, especially if we consider the fair amount of back luck that went with it, while the league opener against Manchester City had us through all sorts of emotions and could have […]
