It felt oddly refreshing following our victory in the NLD to see Ian Wright heap praise on Ben White on MOTD. Having signed for a much maligned £50m in the summer of 21/22, White has been arguably one of Arteta’s most reliable, consistent and trusted performers. The Englishman has barely missed a game since he […]
Love Exhausted, Love Alive POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES An Arsenal Blog from a Coachʻs Perspective Love has many faces. No one place is it more tested than at home. Marriage and kids bring out every emotion but ultimately they are all wrapped in love. Somewhere behind family comes sport. If you are attached and invested […]
I’ve been watching Nuno Tavares closely in France and he’s not going to come back as a player whose weaknesses will disappear because of the role given. Still the same Nuno, threatening upfield but not safe. An asset to boost funds which is fine. An advantage of the loan system. We have Sousa coming through […]
On the 12th of May, Arsenal’s Champions League hopes were severely dented by the old enemy as Tottenham Hotspur ran out 3-0 winners on home soil. A result that many didn’t expect but one that led to the Gunners’ capitulation towards the dying embers of the season, losing out on a place in Europe’s top […]
5 ways to become an Arsenal legend. 1 – Arsene Wenger – August 1996 I tried to watch the Tottenham match on television in my hotel yesterday, but I fell asleep. 2 – Patrick Vieira – September 1996 David Dein: “Patrick do you speak any English?” Vieira: “Yes Mr Dein”, Dein: “What do you know?” […]
Good day to the Arsenal Community! We are all massively pumped with the way Arsenal brushed aside the “mighty” Tottenham. From the 1st minute till the last, barring only a small spell of around 10 minutes, Arsenal absolutely battered them all over the park. Its fair to say that we outplayed them just like we […]
We’ve had a great start to the season, admittedly we’ve had a fairly favourable run (at least compared to recent seasons) but it has been majestic nonetheless. We are playing with a level of control back to front I have never seen before in an Arsenal team. We look maturer and more confident than last […]
There is no better feeling going into work than the feeling going into work knowing you have beaten your rivals convincingly at the weekend. One of the many things Coronavirus robbed us of was the opportunity to strut into that office on a Monday morning feeling eight foot high, feeling like a rock star. No […]
The 71st minute POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES By Coach Mike McDonald This season has been a new thing. There are so many new and happy things for Arsenal to feel good about. The atmosphere, the energy, the feel good factor, the belief, the consistency, the quiet hope of challenging and possibly winning the Premier League, […]
THE North London Derby is unlike any match and as any Gooner will tell you the anticipation felt ahead of the game is unique. There is excitement of course but it is more than tempered by a nervous energy which makes the build-up almost painful. It is a cliche to say that form goes out […]
