Arsenal are in the middle of a bruising playing schedule and like most fans I was concerned to see the energy and urgency in the team’s performance drop off at St Mary’s on Sunday. Fortunately, Arteta’s team, despite their first dropped Premier League points since the defeat at Old Trafford, still sit 2 points clear […]
The confidence gap POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I think we all have a tendency to put labels on human characteristics. I used to do it until I became aware that it really is never closer than 80% true. In my job I teach children of all ages all day long. I have been doing it since […]
Yesterday Arsenal beat Manchester United at the Emirates stadium and took a further step towards their top 4 finish. The 3-1 win was far from a good performance from the Gunners, but at this point of the season, what is most important is the results and Arsenal got the results. Let’s have a look […]
Good day to all the jubilant and flamboyant Gunners all over the world !!! Its been a wonderful week. After 3 absolute substandard performances, (Ok- the Southampton one wasnt that bad- we were just unlucky), we are back with a bang. First we beat Chelsea in their own backyard.

In isolation, it is therefore logical to view the 3-nil defeat as […]
So we have reached Transfer Deadline Day. That dreaded day which plays Russian Roulette with football fans mental health when activity has been non-existent throughout the month. The transfer window is a time which I hate the most as it almost feels like daily a new name pops up as a potential target. The usual […]
Was that easy or are we good? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Sometimes I think that we are programmed as football fans to think in cheesy sound bites. Watching the game yesterday my son and I commented at 1-0 that this was ‘looking like 3 points’ That we were playing ‘comfortably in second gear.’ Max has […]
The Wink of Clarity POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Before we start I want you to try to not get annoyed at how many pictures of Charlie Patino I’m going to add to this blog. I’m excited. Got Patino fever. Pretending I’m 30 years younger than I am and I make no apologies 😉 There’s the […]
