The gift of oxygen POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES An Arsenal blog from a Coach’s perspective Watching yesterday’s game I had that yucky feeling. We were snatching at most all of our shots. It just looked like one of those games that could’ve gone on all night and we weren’t going to score. The rest of […]
Looking back The 21/22 season was the first in living memory in which Arsenal wasnʻt competing in Europe. The club had found itself in disarray after the departure of Arséne Wenger, enduring a chaotic spell under Unai Emery, shades of mismanagement during the Sanllehi era, and then a period of Covid-induced disruption and economic upheaval […]
Luck and Nuts POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES There have been a few points this season I’ve had to check the top left corner of my television. You know the corner where the score resides. I feel like I can’t quite believe this is Arsenal that I’m watching and that the score is what it says […]

The 71st minute POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES By Coach Mike McDonald This season has been a new thing. There are so many new and happy things for Arsenal to feel good about. The atmosphere, the energy, the feel good factor, the belief, the consistency, the quiet hope of challenging and possibly winning the Premier League, […]
THE North London Derby is unlike any match and as any Gooner will tell you the anticipation felt ahead of the game is unique. There is excitement of course but it is more than tempered by a nervous energy which makes the build-up almost painful. It is a cliche to say that form goes out […]
Only Arsenal know POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES People are really starting to notice Arsenal. The stubborn ones say that we’ve had an easy start. The people that pay closer attention note that there is barely an easy game in the entire league whether home or away. Brentford were unbeaten at home including a 5-2 win […]
