Forgettable and consequential (Positives Needs & Hopes)[WOL 0-2 ARS]
‘Forgettable and consequential’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Oh boy, that game was rusty and forgettable. Oh boy, that game was memorable and consequential.

Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Before we get to business and discuss what happened at the City Football Academy Stadium, allow me to rewind the tape a bit, as some very important things happened on and off the pitch.

Arsenal just elevated
‘Arsenal just elevated’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Sometimes it’s hard to see the big picture when you’ve just watched an individual game. Even if it’s a 5-1 win over City.

Stop the abuse. You look silly and small Michael Oliver and VAR got it wrong
Myles Lewis-Skelly should not have been sent off. I’m annoyed, frustrated and angry, but that’s it. You may believe that Oliver has been paid off by City or that he’s a Newcastle fan.

Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, we all knew this would happen, eventually, but I would have preferred for it to happen at another time and – most importantly – at another place.

Losing the point (Positives Needs & Hopes) [WOL 0-1 ARS]
‘Losing the point’ An Arsenal blog from the uncorrupt version of Michael Oliver Apathy is possibly the worst emotion. I experienced it today. Apathy for one of my favourite things.

If there were trophies for everything,,, (Positives Needs & Hopes) [ARS 2-1 THFC]
‘If there were trophies for everything’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective by Mike McDonald The game was winding down.
