If I didn’t support Arsenal, I’d choose Arsenal Season Review …Part Three (of 3) If you you need to catch up first, Part 1 is here, and Part 2 is here. HOPES: Firstly, we desperately need to be respected sellers. Example…Leno to Fulham for 3 bags of Monster Munch left the Fulham board rolling around […]
A Humbling Epiphany An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The wet rag was out. I haven’t gone to the wet rag for a while. Lori had nicked my blood pressure cuff because teaching 1st graders these days is blood pressure cuff worthy. The complaining was flowing like the waterfall in that Tarzan movie that […]
The long running Eddie Nketiah story is again in the headlines as the player is reported to be reluctant to extend his stay in North London. The England Under 21s record goal scorer feels he need to be playing regularly and at 23 by the end of this season I have some sympathy for him. […]

Eddie Nketiah has become a topic of conversation among the Arsenal support base and there seems to be two mean reasons for young English striker being on the agenda. It is partly because there has been transfer speculation linking him with a move away from Arsenal, with first Wolves and more recently West Ham rumoured […]
