The road to perfection An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I wasn’t sure if I was going to write about the first pre-season game. It feels harsh/unrealistic/unfair to analyze players on their first game back. Arteta’s Arsenal are different though. It is so much more than a fitness exercise. A first run-out. If ‘interesting’ […]

I’d rather be wrong, but are PGMOL running/ruining the world’s premier club league?
I’d rather be wrong An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I don’t know what the world is like where you live. Where I live it is safer and better than most it seems. I watch and read ‘the news’ too often. Well, Lori tells me I do anyway. She’s probably correct. I came to […]
Finding our groove again – Making the case for Tomi with Zinny and a new forward
There’s alot of frustration with the team this season despite the positive results in the PL and CL. The feeling that there’s something simply not clicking is simmering under and over the surface.

‘Don’t watch the ball’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Habits are really hard to change. They say when you are raising kids that you need to teach them the ways of the world very early as we all learn 80% of what is important in our lives by the age of eight. There […]
A NLD Special – Christmas in September – Mike’s Positives, Needs and Hopes!
Christmas in September An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’m not sure if Hallmark movies is just an American thing. If they have made a ‘Christmas in September’ movie then I’m in no doubt that it didn’t end in frustration unless you preferred the guy with overly white teeth and way too much product […]

Less Skyfall, more Goldfinger: which Bond is Arteta’s Arsenal this season? [EVE 0-1 ARS]
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: a VAR-latile game ends well for the Gunners [ARS 3-1 MUN]
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 […]
