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 […]
The Dutch defender had a difficult first season with Arsenal after joining from Ajax in July 2023. His Premier League debut was cut short due to a serious injury, forcing him to miss most of the season. But rather than dwell on the frustration, Timber used this time away from the pitch to regenerate his […]
It was Mikel’s first day at The Emirates School of Shithousery and Skullduggery and he couldn’t wait to get started on learning the ‘Dark Arts’. He picked up his timetable and the first lesson of the day was ‘Tactics and Psychological Strategies’, taught by Professor Ferguson. Professor Fergie was a bit old school, but was […]
…… and like that, it’s gone An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The Usual Suspects. The greatest ending to a movie I’ve ever seen. I’m not going to try to link Keyser Soze to this game although if you told me Michael Oliver was Keyser Soze, I might believe you today. I just […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! This week’s journal is a matter of seeing our glass half-empty or half-full. The narrow loss to Häcken was frustrating, especially if we consider the fair amount of back luck that went with it, while the league opener against Manchester City had us through all sorts of emotions and could have […]
Double, double, toil and trouble, In London and Manchester, big games did bubble Early at the Etihad, Haaland scored City hoped to put Arsenal to the sword Maanum scored early to set the tone Could the ladies go on to beat City at home? A quality pass from Martinelli And what a finish by Calafiori […]

Veterans, new arrivals, mainstays, up-and-coming stars…we have plenty of great profiles in our squad, so let’s go. […]
‘Mikel Mignon’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Flank steak thinks it’s good. It doesn’t show up on the menu often so it’s considered ‘special.’ “Oh, they’ve got flank steak, honey.” At this point you are being conned but because it’s a hard find, you go along with your wife and order flank steak. […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! There’s no smoke without fire, they say. On Saturday night, at Meadow Park, we should have seen a giant wildfire, but we ended up with a tiny campfire, instead. The team created so many chances and was so dominant that the one-nil scoresheet felt somehow disappointing. We are through, though, and […]
