They said it quietly at first, like a superstition you don’t dare say out loud. Then louder, bolder, until it rolled through pubs, group chats, and North London streets like a familiar drumbeat rediscovered: It’s coming home. North London’s throne. Reclaimed. Not the old joke. Not the meme. Not the yearly setup for the fall. […]
‘ The Odegaard Conundrum ‘ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Editor’s Note: Apologies for the late delivery of this article. Gunners Town has moved to a new server and there were some hiccups in transferring. This blog has become even more relevant since Mike delivered it on Monday this week. Apologies to Mike […]
‘Arsenal decide to join the madness’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective. Have you noticed how nuts this Premier League season has been? People often say that anyone can beat anyone in the Premier league and that is true, but it actually doesn’t happen quite like it has this season. It hasn’t been defeats […]
‘Every once in a while’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I try not to ever make this blog about one player. After a while though, certain players deserve credit aside from their team related performance. They need to be singled out because they are largely responsible for changing the game of football itself. […]
Little by Little An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This period of the season is likely to be the most forgettable month. If anything at all, maybe it’s the month of favour. Where Father Christmas showed up and left a few extra presents because he found out that dad was struggling to get it […]
‘A game about yesterday’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So that was the most forgettable game of the season. Easily.

“Some, but not all…” An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective. On one level constructive criticism of Arsenal players seems somewhat harsh when we are in every competition and top of them all. On the other hand, the standards are so high that meeting them isn’t easy and if you fall away 5% then you […]
‘Lovely new things’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective. A glass half full post. If we won what we want to win this season, and my posts were more glass half empty I’d be embarrassed. Even though there are always needs for improvement and analysis, I think it’s important that we bathe in the […]
The October window delivered a proper mixed bag of friendlies and high‑stakes qualifiers, and plenty of Gunners (plus a few new faces in the squad) were right in the thick of it. Here’s how they got on over the past ten days—goals, assists, minutes, the lot—with an eye on how they’ll return to London Colney. […]
‘Reasons and Excuses’ ‘’An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective’ This is how I felt during and directly after the game. I don’t get flustered by much. I do have a list though. A short list. If you call QVC shopping network, a human picks up the phone and immediately asks you what they can […]
