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 […]
Stunningly unremarkable An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective What a fan wants. What a coach wants. What a fan actually wants. I sat there in the cozy corner watching Arsenal v Luton. Feeling a little guilty as I shouted at the TV with Lori just arrived back from Europe. If my wife is not […]
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.

Somebody’s gonna get it An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective My brother recently came back from Iceland. He loved it. Of all his stories the one that stood out to me was when he told me about a visit to a local cafe. He said that mid way through his cup of herbal tea […]
Plucking the fruit An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Some people say that the verse in the Bible, “you will reap what you sow” is more of a threat. I’ve always seen it as an encouragement. It warns me about my behavior, but when we think of the word behavior because we were trained […]
