The score reflection An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Before Arsenal went on the Dubai break there were two issues. One was turning into a major short term issue. The other was a long term issue that we were happy to park in the long stay car park. The long term issue was turning […]
Expectation and the Unexpected An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective It’s important to me that what I write is from a place of passion but balanced by the eyes of a neutral. That’s hard to do but important if analysis is going to be good. Max and I got a flavour of how much […]
