‘Running out of rubbish’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The worst of me isn’t fun to see. I think the American word is ‘jerk.’ I am nice 95% of the time. The worst of me comes out at the following times; After the third time that Brad Hackem wipes out my playmaker after […]
‘Eight ways to lose to Arsenal’ A very beautiful Arsenal blog from the perspective of a very happy Arsenal fan A last minute winner might be the best way to win a football match. Or is it a thrashing? Perhaps a comeback? It might be a stroll? A game that’s without nerves. Enjoyable from […]
I feel sorry for Arsenal An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Is sympathy an emotion that a football fan should feel? Aren’t we supposed to be elated or disgusted? Well, I feel sorry for us. I’m sure at the end of the season that I will write a piece sharing all of the emotions […]
I don’t get annoyed at other supporters’ views on the Arsenal thsee days. We are a multi-generational broad church as Gooners, spanning the globe, so different perspectives are to be expected. However, if I were still the type to get annoyed, I would probably be mildly wound up by those who deem today’s semi-final as […]
Football strangulation An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, the Ipswich game wasn’t necessarily ’fun’ but it was certainly interesting. At least for a footballing nerd like me. And hopefully for your pleasure too. Did you notice how congested the game was? Especially in the second half. Almost like watching your 5 year old […]
‘The door that didn’t slide’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective As I’ve been traveling and ‘blog absent,’ this will cover the Forest and Lisbon games. After the Forest game rolled around, I was less concerned about our form than I was about how Arteta was being viewed. I knew we would rebound […]
A different band of brothers An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Every once in a while, and really not very often, Arsenal’s impressive band of brothers send out their actual brothers to play instead. Perhaps it’s our way of protesting against the amount of games. Perhaps we are simply resting players and utilizing Central […]
Who Arsenal really are An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Sometimes I think that people are getting fed up with extreme opinions. In a world of extreme ridiculousness that seems like an actual dream you’d be embarrassed to tell anyone about because they’d laugh at you, I think many are now seeking the actual […]
Not losing, while trying not to lose An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, that was a surreal experience. Not at all what I had expected or predicted. I thought that we would dominate the ball. That they would allow us to do so. We would score two before half time and United would […]
‘Managing a used battery’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I thought that there was one big difference on Sunday that has been overlooked. Mikel Arteta out-coached Angie Pastacheesesauce. That’s made me hungry. My wife makes a wicked alfredo. I might host an Arsenal event and we can all swim in the deliciousness. My […]
