‘Fly them back from the moon’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I don’t believe that we’ve ever been to the moon. I believe Stanley Kubrick’s confession. All will be disclosed soon, I feel. A decent percentage of the Arsenal fanbase and football fans in general can’t leave Arsenal alone. They got in a […]
‘Miss Marple on a free transfer’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I jest, but I don’t. If I was the CEO of Arsenal I would spend the next seven days doing detective work at Arsenal. If Arsenal don’t win the Premier League and today’s performance is replicated in the Champions League then the […]
‘Arsenal on the couch’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Dr. Perspective the football therapist: Hi, Mike! Come on in and make yourself comfortable. I’m assuming you are an Arsenal fan? I’ve had lots of Arsenal fans this week. Me: Yes, sir I am an Arsenal fan. Partly optimistic and partly terrified. Doc: You […]
‘The Ferrari just came out of the garage’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective When I get to heaven I wonder if there is a time where you get to sit down with your guardian angel and ask them about the pivotal moments in your life. The moments where your life could’ve been very […]

I have never plated for a team where millions are watching and hoping. I have never played under their expectation. None of my coaches come close […]
A successful morning routine An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I lived in a regular semi detached house in Tring, Hertfordshire as a kid. Four boys, two parents, one tiny bathroom with no shower and a small bath. I was a scallywag of a kid. Only interested in being dirty and playing football. I […]
‘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 […]
‘Could Arsenal become what is supposed to be a joke?’ An Arsenal blog that should be everybody’s perspective When I first started going to football, there was a chant that I got particularly attached to. It was the quite ridiculous ‘ we’re by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen.’ I liked it […]
‘Blooming Fruits’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This should really be about a hat trick hero or a big win in a big game or another statement to the league. Then I read this and got pissed off. I’m getting rather frustrated at hearing opposing coach’s using Arteta’s experience at Arsenal as […]
