Arsenal 1 Brighton 1 Kavanagh won An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Dear Howard Webb, This is not reactionary. I’ve intentionally waited 2 days before writing this and watched the game twice without emotion. On behalf of Arsenal fans and confused football fans in general, I would like you to answer these questions about […]
I watched David Raya save Ollie Watkins’ diving header with a mix of adulation and despair. It’s the same feeling I experienced a week earlier when the Spaniard made a big stop vs Wolves.

I’m still reeling from the weekend, so this will be shorter […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Arsenal Women played their first friendly match of their US tour and defeated hosts Washington Spirit, who currently sit third in the NWSL table after the first half of the season. Given the difference in fitness levels, the performance on show from Jonas Eidevall’s player was very encouraging, although the hosts […]

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 […]
Arsenal in a Ferrari An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’ve never really wanted a Ferrari. I think it’s because I’m pretty good at not living in a fantasy world. Now, if ‘Nesara Gesara’ is true (type it into the search bar on Twitter and watch your mind blow), then I might go get […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Here comes the first issue of the Arsenal Women Journal for the season 2024/25. I hope you all had a good summer and are now ready to go for what could be a make-or-break season for Jonas Eidevall and some of his players. The official start of the season is still […]
