When tomorrow is gone An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Last week I was scrolling and found a quite profound video. It was a young guy interviewing folks in their 60’s/70’s/80’s and asking them for life advice. The two most common responses were a) enjoy each day and b) value time over material possessions. […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! A win is a win and a prestigious away win to current league leaders – which we hadn’t defeated at their place in seven years – is even more meaningful. Yet, at the back of my head, a little voice is asking “was it truly necessary?” Of course, I am […]
A friend of mine who works for the Middlesex Daily News, forwarded me this sneak peak of an advert they are running later this week. He thought I might find it interesting.
‘Managing a used battery’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I thought that there was one big difference on Sunday that has been overlooked. Mikel Arteta out-coached Angie Pastacheesesauce. That’s made me hungry. My wife makes a wicked alfredo. I might host an Arsenal event and we can all swim in the deliciousness. My […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Another game went by, drawing towards the end of a very deflating campaign. Sure, we retained the Conti Cup defeating Emma Hayes’ team, but this season will surely go down as the most disappointing one of the past five years. All the promises of the brave run-in both in the […]
‘If you hadn’t noticed’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Conversation with football friends is for most their favourite part of the experience. It’s the part I dearly miss living in the hills of Tennessee. I love writing because I love writing but also because there are so many people that jump in the […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! It’s been three weeks since we spoke, and during that time our girls stomped on both Bristol City and Leicester at home with an overall score of 8-0 and both Beth Mead and Alessia Russo catching fire in front of goal. Unfortunately, none of Manchester City and Chelsea slipped along […]
Not quite yet An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective It’s amazing how patience gives clarity. After Wednesday night I was frustrated. Not just because we had lost either. I was frustrated because I didn’t get to watch it live and had suffered the maddening moment that everyone reading this has met before. That’s the […]
Arsenal, one of the Premier League title challengers this campaign, will be keen to keep the dream alive when they host Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium in this particular round of 36 encounters. The Gunners are sure of playing in the Champions League for a successive season but they have the title chase on their […]
As Arsenal prepares for the crucial second leg clash against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Following that disappointing loss to Aston Villa on Sunday the pressure is on for the Gunners to revive their season. Key to their success will be the performance of players selected on the left […]
