Football strangulation An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, the Ipswich game wasn’t necessarily ’fun’ but it was certainly interesting. At least for a footballing nerd like me. And hopefully for your pleasure too. Did you notice how congested the game was? Especially in the second half. Almost like watching your 5 year old […]
‘He could / He will’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This post is different to usual. I think the positives, needs and all the other stuff is somewhat irrelevant after Fulham. There is one clear issue to discuss. As ever, I attempt to find a solution. Group 1. Showing up for work at […]
The BIG little An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I just open Twitter. I just closed Twitter. I’m a big fan of this app mostly out of appreciation for the friends that I have met through it. Without it, it would’ve been much harder to become an Arsenal writer. Diving into Twitter on days […]
When tomorrow is gone An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Last week I was scrolling and found a quite profound video. It was a young guy interviewing folks in their 60’s/70’s/80’s and asking them for life advice. The two most common responses were a) enjoy each day and b) value time over material possessions. […]
‘Managing a used battery’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I thought that there was one big difference on Sunday that has been overlooked. Mikel Arteta out-coached Angie Pastacheesesauce. That’s made me hungry. My wife makes a wicked alfredo. I might host an Arsenal event and we can all swim in the deliciousness. My […]
‘If you hadn’t noticed’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Conversation with football friends is for most their favourite part of the experience. It’s the part I dearly miss living in the hills of Tennessee. I love writing because I love writing but also because there are so many people that jump in the […]
Arsenal, one of the Premier League title challengers this campaign, will be keen to keep the dream alive when they host Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium in this particular round of 36 encounters. The Gunners are sure of playing in the Champions League for a successive season but they have the title chase on their […]
One team went in, and another team came out An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, well well. What to make of that? I actually had time to write this blog on Sunday after the game, but my balloon didn’t just deflate, it felt like it had popped. Just a feeling, I know. It’s […]
I’ve got that feeling, it’s in my bones An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective When was the last time that a team won the Premier League when they didn’t deserve to? Man City, 115 charges, I know that’s an answer but for the purposes of the real corrupt world we live in, we know […]
Arsenal’s 2022/2023 Premier League campaign was a surprise to the masses. Many expected the Gunners to be battling it out for a place in Europe’s top flight, but instead, the North Londoners went toe to toe with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City for the title. Mikel Arteta’s men produced exceptional performance levels, accumulating 50 points after […]
