“Woah Mr. F! Arsenal signed that guy that dresses like superheroes and does backflips!” – 4th Grade Student As you may have surmised, I teach young children for a living. I do so in a close-knit elementary school of approximately 400 students (ages 5-12) located in Upstate NY. All the regular inhabitants–students, teachers, parents, staff–share […]
Arsenal 1 (6) – 1 (5) Chelsea International Champions Cup Dublin · August 1, 2018 So: high press vs high press. Both teams used all 120 yards too. Generally, similar playing styles so very interesting match up! FORMATION Attacking 4-2-3-1 (best I could tell) Defensively 4-4-1-1 POSITIVES Got out of Chelsea press often. Kolasinac […]

AFC vs AM ….. Positives, needs and hopes I thought you might like bullet points on the game just finished. Living in the US we get every AFC game pre-season and during season. You lot still get to go to the game so you win! * First Half formation 4-3-3 or could be 4-2-3-1, hard […]
The squad flew out to Singapore last week and there was a noticeable absence on the plane, Carl Jenkinson. With the exception of Rambo (more on him later), this appears to be the final nail in the coffin of ‘British Core 1.0’. Back in 2012, these 6 players were supposed to represent the future of […]
