Verse 1: Kro$hady Dear Mikel, I’ve been thinkin’, ’bout the January window, Our squad’s a little thin, but I still want you to know, I see your calls, but I’m stuck out here in LA, I don’t know who to sign, man, it’s gettin’ so cray! Yo, your tactics look solid, I see you got […]
‘A case not ready for court’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective By Mike McDonald Over the last 40 years I have become a big fan of true crime TV. I’ve wondered for a while as to why I like it. Should I be worried? It all started with Miss Marple. Still in my […]
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 […]

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 […]
1- Believe in the resurrection of Jesus, even though it happened at Christmas this year and not Easter. 2- Believe we will get Victor or Viktor, even though we scored 89 goals in 2024 (club record) and Jesus has risen (see point 1) 3- Accept that (at the request/insistence Gary Neville) the FA will ban […]

‘What if…..?’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective “Do I want to step into possible foolishness” Me, last night. The score against Palace in the Cup was good/possibly bad.
