‘One Battle after another’ An Arsenal blog from a coaches perspective I’ve been told the movie is really good. We have 10 inches of snow right now, which is extremely rare. I think I’ll watch the movie today. The headline might be misleading if the movie is a sappy, romantic comedy about an agitated couple […]
Different and better, but why? An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I was really encouraged by that performance. Really excited to see some much needed improvements. Then I went online and I seem to be one of the only ones out there that thought that the Almighty Carrot game was a big positive. […]
Who has been the best Premier League signing of the summer of 2024? There are plenty of worthy candidates. Elliot Anderson and Nikola Milenkovic have helped transform Nottingham Forest from relegation battlers to Champions League contenders, whilst Maxence Lacroix and Ismaila Sarr have proven integral in Crystal Palace securing their first-ever major trophy. Dean Huijsen […]
‘Nonsense where nothing should’ve reigned’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So the game against Liverpool might end up not really mattering for either team If we had lost however it would have been rather different.

‘A snapshot of Arsenal’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective You meet a stranger. A football loving stranger. In a pub in Cornwall with a thatched roof and a beautiful beer garden.

‘Juice Boost’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The guillotines were being ordered. If we didn’t get a decent result then they were going to be wheeled towards N5 for ‘bottling another season.’ Not only did that not happen but the literal opposite happened. An utter spanking. It’s a reminder of how quickly great […]
The mood is low, but… Allow me to offer a ray of hope because from what I saw in our to defeat against West Ham there was reason for optimism. That optimism comes in the form of Benjamin White. I sit in Row 7 in the North Bank and something that I have not […]
‘A wasted week’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Have no fear. I’m not going to scream and shout. I would hope that you read this because I offer solutions and some unique analysis. Never wanted to do a match report and most certainly don’t ever want to try to get readers by being […]
‘Forgettable and consequential’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Oh boy, that game was rusty and forgettable. Oh boy, that game was memorable and consequential. So many things were true about this game that did not seem possible at the same time. We looked like we made more bad decisions in the first hour […]
