‘….and the dominoes fell’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I have debated over how to frame this game more so than any blog I think I’ve ever written. I always try to not be angry as you can go to Twitter and find a small country’s worth over there. I’m not an angry […]
‘One year later and 30 years ago’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Lame. Fatigued. Afraid. Bullied. Lost. About one year ago, Arsenal didn’t entirely surprise us. Well, maybe a little. The hope always makes you believe that you have turned the page. Those five words were the polite version of how we felt and […]
A Lesson in Trust An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective. Right as Arsenal kicked off, I left my office begrudgingly to give my team talk to my High School team before their big Regional game. Max stayed to watch and kept running upstairs to sneakily show me his fingers when we scored. There were […]
In time to come An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective It’s 2026. You are in the pub talking to your mates about the Arsenal team of 2022–23. The discussion is about where they rank as the greatest Arsenal teams of all time. These conversations will happen in the summer of 2023 also, but it’s […]
Creation 1 Denial 3 An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This game was an odd one. It seemed like we were playing ourselves. Leicester are so predictable. Played the same way in the same formation for so long. Coming up against a team that has a smart coach with a smart backroom team killed […]
Last Saturday’s lunchtime’s goal fest at Villa Park, might have offered us an insight into what life without Thomas Partey could look like, in the short-term at least. As someone who’s views, I respect, suggested to me, with Jorginho playing at 6, Arsenal will have to outscore opponents, because we will concede goals. The adopted […]
Saturday felt like such a monumental moment in the season. The last few weeks have been so discouraging, peaking with the loss to Man City last Wednesday. Hope was beginning to dwindle. At half time on Saturday I think most people were begrudgingly accepting the new reality that we need to look down at other […]
I know we’ve just had Valentines Day and no, it’s not ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart.’ There are obviously many details that could’ve been better against City. This piece could’ve been called ‘Score 1, Get 2 Free!’ We haven’t been yippy all season but some of the players felt the occasion. The focus could be […]
Full-time. Sean Dyche’s Everton 1-0 Arsenal. Let me be clear – this was NOT the game I envisioned writing about in my first piece. I suppose you’ve always got to start somewhere! Anyway, I’m Alfie, and welcome to my brand new column on Gunners Town – That Sums It All Up. What EXACTLY am I […]
Barring any late movements or Chelsea bidding £175m for Saka, Arsenal wrapped up their January transfer business yesterday with the signings of Jakub Kiwior, Leandro Trossard and Jorginho. Always measured in their opinions, reactions and general behaviour during the transfer window, Arsenal fans were up in arms with regard to our transfer window, most […]
