‘A game about yesterday’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So that was the most forgettable game of the season. Easily. I’m glad that I was on my Christmas trip to Cincinnati with Lori, spending most of our time pretending that we were 19, whilst hanging out at one of the coolest speakeasies I’ve […]
“Some, but not all…” An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective. On one level constructive criticism of Arsenal players seems somewhat harsh when we are in every competition and top of them all. On the other hand, the standards are so high that meeting them isn’t easy and if you fall away 5% then you […]
‘Lovely new things’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective. A glass half full post. If we won what we want to win this season, and my posts were more glass half empty I’d be embarrassed. Even though there are always needs for improvement and analysis, I think it’s important that we bathe in the […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! It’s been a while since we last spoke, and Arsenal built on their all-important win against Real Madrid with two very narrow but equally important results against Liverpool in the WSL, and against Twente in the UWCL. Both performances were somehow unconvincing, and the scoreline was much closer than it should […]
In an act of selfless generosity to football’s most vulnerable oil-backed institution, Arsenal bravely lost to Aston Villa, officially confirming that Manchester City are, unfortunately, champions again. Experts have described Arsenal’s performance as “a decisive intervention to protect City from the emotional hardship of finishing second.” Club insiders confirmed that Arsenal’s 1/3 of a season-long […]
I was really struggling to find what the theme was from the Brentford game. I finally landed on how Arsenal are over complicating their attacking style, but you’ll read about that another day because I had an epiphany. I’m always ashamed to say that I haven’t given this enough attention already. My enlightenment started when […]
‘Could Arsenal become what is supposed to be a joke?’ An Arsenal blog that should be everybody’s perspective When I first started going to football, there was a chant that I got particularly attached to. It was the quite ridiculous ‘ we’re by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen.’ I liked it […]
‘Blooming Fruits’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective This should really be about a hat trick hero or a big win in a big game or another statement to the league. Then I read this and got pissed off. I’m getting rather frustrated at hearing opposing coach’s using Arteta’s experience at Arsenal as […]
Based on a true parody, updated from the original 2017 parody. Names have been changed to protect the guilty!! Something to lighten mood before the serious business at 4.30 Sunday afternoon or 3.30 Monday morning, depending on your view. Saturday 7.30am ‘Arry the Spud’s alarm clock kicks in to TalkShite’s daily breakfast phone in ‘Why […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!When Caroline Weir scored her wonder goal, mid-way through the first half, everything looked lost. The game, the trophy, the season. All gone. Arsenal Women weren’t playing particularly well, but didn’t necessarily deserve to fall behind Real Madrid, so the Manchester City former midfielder’s thunderous volley from the centre of the penalty […]
