‘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 […]
One team went in, and another team came out An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, well well. What to make of that? I actually had time to write this blog on Sunday after the game, but my balloon didn’t just deflate, it felt like it had popped. Just a feeling, I know. It’s […]
What to make of that? An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I wasn’t expecting that. After rattling off 19 reasons why Arsenal are wicked brilliant just a couple of days ago, we were not close to wicked and only showed baby flashes of brilliance. Perhaps I needed to watch Arsenal in the CL before […]
I’ve got that feeling, it’s in my bones An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective When was the last time that a team won the Premier League when they didn’t deserve to? Man City, 115 charges, I know that’s an answer but for the purposes of the real corrupt world we live in, we know […]
