Arsenal in a Ferrari An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’ve never really wanted a Ferrari. I think it’s because I’m pretty good at not living in a fantasy world. Now, if ‘Nesara Gesara’ is true (type it into the search bar on Twitter and watch your mind blow), then I might go get […]
Last week I was fortunate enough to fly out to Berlin, Germany with tickets to Switzerland vs Italy at Euro 2024. Right now all the Arsenal talk is all about Riccardo Calafiori, and it would have been nice for me to write a piece about him and what I saw from him in that game. […]
Arsenal unsurprisingly have been linked with numerous central midfielders since narrowly missing out on the Premier League. For a while, there seemed to be a debate on whether the target to improve the first 11 should be a left sided 8, now Havertz has moved further forward, or a defensive midfielder now that Rice has […]
Not losing, while trying not to lose An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, that was a surreal experience. Not at all what I had expected or predicted. I thought that we would dominate the ball. That they would allow us to do so. We would score two before half time and United would […]
‘Managing a used battery’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I thought that there was one big difference on Sunday that has been overlooked. Mikel Arteta out-coached Angie Pastacheesesauce. That’s made me hungry. My wife makes a wicked alfredo. I might host an Arsenal event and we can all swim in the deliciousness. My […]
Not quite yet An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective It’s amazing how patience gives clarity. After Wednesday night I was frustrated. Not just because we had lost either. I was frustrated because I didn’t get to watch it live and had suffered the maddening moment that everyone reading this has met before. That’s the […]
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. Mikel Arteta’s men produced exceptional performance levels, accumulating 50 points after […]
‘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 […]
