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 […]
“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 […]
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. […]

Sleeping in UpsideDownWorld An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, I watched the game at my former boss’ house. I always wished he wasn’t my boss because we get along so well and watching football with him is fun. He’s a Liverpool fan. We don’t often go to his house but I took almost […]
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 […]
Through the fog of stress An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’ve sat here for a rather long time trying to figure out the story of the game. A really unique game. Arsenal were largely extremely good but you know that. Leicester’s keeper had a big day but their defence rode their luck […]
