XG Building An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Firstly, apologies for the delay in writing. The plan this weekend was to drive to DC to watch the Arsenal ladies, not have my car give out on me and spend $600 on being disappointed. 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 […]
Who Arsenal really are An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Sometimes I think that people are getting fed up with extreme opinions. 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.

Aston Villa vs Arsenal is becoming as big as Manchester City vs Arsenal in the Premier League. Both teams have given us classic matches in the last two seasons with their meetings in the 2023/24 season still being talked about. Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta are two of the best managers in the Premier League […]
The road to perfection An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I wasn’t sure if I was going to write about the first pre-season game. It feels harsh/unrealistic/unfair to analyze players on their first game back. Arteta’s Arsenal are different though. It is so much more than a fitness exercise. A first run-out. If ‘interesting’ […]
Last week I was fortunate enough to fly out to Berlin, Germany with tickets to Switzerland vs Italy at Euro 2024. Right now all the Arsenal talk is all about Riccardo Calafiori, and it would have been nice for me to write a piece about him and what I saw from him in that game. […]
Arsenal defender William Saliba has made a shocking revelation leading up to this summer’s Euros in Germany about the Premier League’s best Centre-back. Saliba has been a superb player for Arsenal in recent years including the just-concluded campaign where the Gunners finished behind champions Manchester City for the second season running. The 23-year-old, who was […]
We now know Arsenal’s road to the 24/25 Premier League title. We begin at 3pm at home to Wolves on the 17th August, and finish on the 25th May away to Southampton. Here we will be taking an in-detail look at the calendar and how the domestic and European cup games tie-in to our season […]
