‘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.

Mikel Arteta’s men produced exceptional performance levels, accumulating 50 points after […]
As a community, we are undoubtedly all feeling wounded, raw and a tad sorry for ourselves right now, which is completely understandable. However, in the despondency it is not so hard to find reasons for huge positivity. It has been a wonderful season and we can all trot out the obvious response to recent decline […]
23 games played, 17 victories, 3 stalemates and 3 defeats. 54 precious points on the board, which places The Arsenal at the top of the tree, on course for a special outcome. Astonishing. Not even the staunchest Mikel Arteta fan would have envisaged the Gunners becoming favourites for the title before a ball was kicked, […]
Barring any late movements or Chelsea bidding £175m for Saka, Arsenal wrapped up their January transfer business yesterday with the signings of Jakub Kiwior, Leandro Trossard and Jorginho. Always measured in their opinions, reactions and general behaviour during the transfer window, Arsenal fans were up in arms with regard to our transfer window, most […]
Actually, unsurprising An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective A derby is supposed to be where form goes out the window. A different type of event where no excuses are expected. You just show up give your best and win. If you want to go back into your slump afterwards, then fine, but it’s a […]
