‘Wake me up in June’ ‘An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective’ Well, well, well, what to make of tha Here’s the short version… First few minutes… The perfect start. During the game… has my team decided to be Burnley for the night? After the game… I still cannot believe that the feeling of being […]
‘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 […]
‘A stolen epiphany’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective There is so much good Arsenal content. I’d be surprised if another club comes close. After most Arsenal games I tune in to the Arsenal Vision instant reaction. The analysis is elite but for me, more than that I find that they felt the same […]
‘A game about yesterday’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So that was the most forgettable game of the season. Easily. I’m glad that I was on my Christmas trip to Cincinnati with Lori, spending most of our time pretending that we were 19, whilst hanging out at one of the coolest speakeasies I’ve […]

After all the club has previous for this kind of behaviour, most notably in the last two transfer […]
‘A case not ready for court’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective By Mike McDonald Over the last 40 years I have become a big fan of true crime TV. I’ve wondered for a while as to why I like it. Should I be worried? It all started with Miss Marple. Still in my […]
Sleeping in UpsideDownWorld An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, I watched the game at my former boss’ house. I always wished he wasn’t my boss because we get along so well and watching football with him is fun. He’s a Liverpool fan. We don’t often go to his house but I took almost […]
In the stats driven world we live in, when it comes to attacking players on the pitch, goals and assists are your bread and butter. Often when it comes to comparing players against each other, comparing players based on their own previous campaigns, or seeing how valuable one player is to an individual team goal […]
International football has never really been my cup of tea. The first major tournament I remember was the 2006 World Cup, and at that time my 8 year old brain couldn’t comprehend the idea of anything other than supporting Thierry Henry. Since then, I have stayed firmly in the club before country camp. Ultimately, I […]
The only way to start off this post is to say I was highly skeptical when Havertz was signed. Hell, away with half-truths: I was dead sure Arsenal made a massive mistake. A quick search for “Havertz” from @the_tsar_cannon (my Twitter handle) will result in stuff like this: August, after a narrow win over Crystal […]
