Too much time to think An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I have this theory about Mikel Arteta. Essentially, he makes better decisions with less time to prepare. If I was in a better mood I’d study past games to prove my point but I know that I’ve had this feeling quite a few […]
New Arsenal 2 Old Arsenal 1 Positives, Needs and Hopes It was the 57th minute. There I am sitting with Max and my wife in the Hops ‘n Holler Arsenal pub in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was struggling to get a feel for what the problem was in the game. […]
Arteta’s revolutionised Arsenal side kicked off their Premier League campaign with a confident 0-3 victory against Fulham at Craven Cottage, with Brazilian debutants Willian and Gabriel putting in impressive performances to get the Gunners off to a fine start. Arsenal’s fast start was signified within the 10 minute mark as Lacazette prodded home from close […]
Episode 23 “Gunners Town Pub – Fulham 0-3 Arsenal” Chris, Mike, Paul and Gav meet immediately after the game in the Gunners Town (Virtual) Pub to discuss Arsenal’s inspiring season opener. Plenty to discuss regarding the team selection, and obviously lots to be pleased about with new Gunners Willian and Gabriel excelling on their debut. […]

The Return of Rhythm? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES This season, and even during the unbeaten run, I was very concerned at the lack of big chances we were creating. Perhaps the constant formation changes and line ups have been responsible? Today we created 9 big chances in the second half! So the question becomes….. how […]
We all know that the biggest weakness in our team for the last few years was the sieve of a defence that could not stop leaking goals. We also played tippy tappy football around the opposition box and there was a general lack of confidence throughout the squad. Unai Emery has noticeably tightened the defence […]
Headline #1… Contenders? That looked like a team uninterested in settling for Top 4. Looked like a serious team with top quality, work ethic, team spirit and a coach who has a nasty habit of making a difference with his decisions. Headline #2….. Have Arsenal discovered gold with new formation? 4-2-2-2 suited all the players. […]
