West Ham United’s performance in the Premier League this season has been relatively sub-par. The Hammers have managed to scrape out results here and there but have yet to gather any real momentum. Meanwhile, Arsenal Football Club has been brilliant, establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with. The Hammers let go of their […]
Mistakes and Moments An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Dear Manchester United, Chelsea and Spurs fans (there has to be at least one of you reading), This is an Arsenal fan who has been where you are. Well actually, we’ve been where United and Chelsea are but we’ve never quite been as nakedly barren […]
Arsenal have made yet another bright start to the Premier League, showing some of the promise they made last season. Meanwhile, West Ham United have had to endure a rocky start to their campaign. The Gunners opened the exit door very wide over the summer, letting go of many long-time squad members. Most notably, Granit […]
Something’s wrong, but something’s right An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Admission time. I have a big one. An admission, I mean. I have an excuse for this. I was about 7, I think. I hope anyway. My memory is that I preferred watching ice dancing to football when I was young. My admission didn’t […]
Suffocation revelation An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The result against Sevilla mattered. How much did the performance matter though?

Subs, Squad and Sunday League An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective There was a time in my early twenties where I’d figured out the absolute best way that a human can spend 24 hours. Here was the recipe… Saturday: Highbury at 3pm. The delightful smell and taste of the greatest partly grey cheeseburger with […]
In this edition we look back on the Premier League clash against Manchester City. HIGHLIGHT Steve Wellman: Saliba: Duels won – 100% Pass completion – 97% Fouls committed – 0% Dribbled past – 0% Haaland in his pocket – 100% Harry Scott: Declan Rice monster performance. This is why we paid […]
When George met Arsene An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Poor me. It was half way through the second half and I was complaining. Sat here in Jamaica under a cabana with live service to watch my team playing. A week of relaxation in front of me and Lori wanders past in her bikini to […]
Christmas in September An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’m not sure if Hallmark movies is just an American thing. If they have made a ‘Christmas in September’ movie then I’m in no doubt that it didn’t end in frustration unless you preferred the guy with overly white teeth and way too much product […]
