‘The Ferrari just came out of the garage’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective When I get to heaven I wonder if there is a time where you get to sit down with your guardian angel and ask them about the pivotal moments in your life. The moments where your life could’ve been very […]
‘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 […]
‘Blooming Fruits’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This should really be about a hat trick hero or a big win in a big game or another statement to the league. Then I read this and got pissed off. I’m getting rather frustrated at hearing opposing coach’s using Arteta’s experience at Arsenal as […]
Happy happy, sad sad happy An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective What to think about that game, right? It was like the events of a months worth of football in two hours. Lori, Max, his friend Jake and I were in Lexington, Kentucky to watch our friend Tyler Gibson play for USL team Oakland […]
‘I can’t prove it, but…’ An Arsenal blog runied by the PGMOL. Again. I’m sitting in Tennessee getting ready to watch Max play a soccer game. It’s a lovely day. The kind where the wind is warm and the sun isn’t too hot. It hasn’t kicked off yet so I’m spending my time watching this […]
‘If there were trophies for everything’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective by Mike McDonald The game was winding down. Max and I were in the Arsenal pub in Knoxville and the tension was palpable. About 30 Arsenal fans likely all thinking the same as me. We cannot drop any points to this Spurs […]
Football strangulation An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, the Ipswich game wasn’t necessarily ’fun’ but it was certainly interesting. At least for a footballing nerd like me. And hopefully for your pleasure too. Did you notice how congested the game was? Especially in the second half. Almost like watching your 5 year old […]
…… and like that, it’s gone An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The Usual Suspects. The greatest ending to a movie I’ve ever seen. I’m not going to try to link Keyser Soze to this game although if you told me Michael Oliver was Keyser Soze, I might believe you today. I just […]
XG Building An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Firstly, apologies for the delay in writing. The plan this weekend was to drive to DC to watch the Arsenal ladies, not have my car give out on me and spend $600 on being disappointed. I’m still reeling from the weekend, so this will be shorter […]
Not losing, while trying not to lose An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, that was a surreal experience. Not at all what I had expected or predicted. I thought that we would dominate the ball. That they would allow us to do so. We would score two before half time and United would […]
