‘If you hadn’t noticed’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Conversation with football friends is for most their favourite part of the experience. It’s the part I dearly miss living in the hills of Tennessee. I love writing because I love writing but also because there are so many people that jump in the […]
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 […]
Wolves will host Arsenal at the Molineux in this crucial game in the title race as the curtains of the 2023/24 season are beginning to wind down. Wolves, who have been decent in their rights, will be hoping to cause a major scalp just as they have done in some games this season, while the […]

And then the Odegaard handball. […]
In this edition we look back on Tuesday’s clash against Luton in the Premier League. HIGHLIGHT Paul Hepker: Wow! Could Rice have come up with a more important and glorious goal? Right player at the right time, and Odegaard with the perfect ball. This team is fire. What a game! Dave Seager: The determination of […]
In this edition we look back on Wednesday’s clash against Lens in the Champions League. HIGHLIGHT Paul Hepker: Havertz opening the floodgates: 4 goals in 14 minutes, 6 goals from six different goalscorers. A joy to behold. Thomas Bahnson: Has to be the Havertz goal. It just feels so big when he succeeds. The biggest […]
