‘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 […]

‘Not far from the end of the book’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective There is a book…. A book that only one man sees. It resides in Mikel Arteta’s back pocket. He only lets his coaching staff see it a chapter at a time. He only lets his players learn from it one […]
The way you make me feel An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Do Arsenal turn me on? In a way, I suppose. A different way. Knock me off of my feet? More like get me up from my cosy corner, but sure. Are my lonely days gone? Well, they probably are. I certainly feel […]
Two teams 1 One team 0 An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective “ I’ve been in football a long time. Games like today make me realize that when it’s time to leave football behind, I won’t be missing anything.” That was Roy Hodgson. On Saturday. I’ve seen Roy Hodgson upset, and he still manages to […]
