Five years later An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Max was home alone watching the PSG game. I miss not having him on our car rides back and forth to school as he is now doing home school. School curriculum is getting a lil weird and American schools are a target for nut […]
What a month, right? From winning the Conti Cup against Chelsea to qualifying for the Champions League semifinals for the first time in ten years! We March on, don’t we?No, I won’t apologize for the silly pun. Last night’s win against Bayern Munich was intoxicating and you will have to pay the price for it, […]
News that the UK government had placed a freeze on the assets of Chelsea Football Club’s oligarch owner Roman Abramovich threw the football world into a frenzy yesterday. I’m not going to go into the ins and outs of the ramifications of the sanctions, or wax lyrical about who may end up buying Chelsea (and […]
I watched as much of our pre season fixtures as possible and wanted to share some of my initial observations of what I’ve seen so far in the Unai Emery era. Before I do that, I would like to take the opportunity to point out that offering opinions that don’t blow smoke up the players […]
In this series of articles I have been looking at some of the favourites to be the next head coach of Arsenal, looking into the tactics and players they may fit into side should they join. In this final part we look at a late entry to the list Unai Emery, the Spaniard who is […]

It’s karma for what they did to Arsenal, taking Cesc Fabregas and other players away from us. But even so the Neymar deal doesn’t seem right to me. In fact […]
Today I feel a strong urge to just copy and paste chunks of text from my United review. Insipid performance? Check. Unbalanced midfield? Check. One shot on target? Check. Giroud on the scoresheet? Check. I don’t see in what way our performance vs PSG was any better than our performance vs United. In fact, I […]
Howdy. We take on PSG today in what will be a battle for the top spot in Group A. The winner gets Bayern/Atletico in the last 16 … Kidding, kidding. It’s actually Borussia/Real. However, on the off chance we get lucky + there’s no tampering with the draw this season, it is worth beating […]
What I took from the PSG match. I was mystified when I saw the team selection. No Xhaka, No Giroud. Ospina for Cech? At the weekend I assumed that Xhaka was not selected because he was being saved for this match. The same applied to Giroud and I could not believe that Wenger would repeat […]
