‘Reasons and Excuses’ ‘’An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective’ This is how I felt during and directly after the game. I don’t get flustered by much. I do have a list though. A short list. If you call QVC shopping network, a human picks up the phone and immediately asks you what they can […]
‘Art in motion’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, I wasn’t expecting that. There wasn’t much ‘art’ against Villareal and the ’motion’ wasn’t jiving either. The game was littered with tactical nuance, experiments and improvements. Almost as if we had been storing this up for a rainy day, so to speak. ‘Sun on […]
Changes at Arsenal Before I start, I have a favour to ask at the end of this piece I spend way too much time thinking about how Arsenal can be the best that they can be. I do it not out of lack of trust in the club, but because it’s my passion. I suppose […]
‘Dowman sells Martinelli to get Eze’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Most of the time preseason games are instantly forgettable. This one might be remembered forever. It’s crazy to say that. Sounds like a horrific over-exaggeration. What my eyes saw however, was the potential birth of a superstar. Max Dowman has much to […]
I haven’t been able to write for a while and now I’ve done 2 in 4 days God bless Jamaica I wanted to give my thoughts on all of our other signings and rumored signings, beyond the glorious Viktor who I spoke on on Monday. I have so much energy for Viktor. It’s almost […]
It’s July 1st and the first day back in the office for Arteta, Berta and Fred, Arsenal’s new data analyst. An invite drops in Fred’s calendar from Mikel. **** Urgent Crisis Meeting**** 10am, my office. “Blimey” thought Fred, “Must be important, it’s in person. Mikel only ever meets the first team face to face. The […]
If rumours are to be believed, the holy trinity of Arteta, Josh K and Berta are in for no less than three attacking players this summer. A left winger, a central attacking midfielder and a striker are on the list. For arguments sake, let’s call them Rodrygo, Eze and Gyokeres. Now bear in mind that […]
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Today he might just give me what I’ve been wanting for around 3 years. Not just that but an overflow blessing as the Gyokeres deal may just happen as I sit here… That would be above and beyond. I first discovered Viktor Gyokeres back at the […]
So many debates have been had about which striker would be better, ‘prospect’ and athletic monster Sesko or ‘ready now’ flat track bully Gyokores, but we all have that nagging concern, what if we don’t land either? After all the club has previous for this kind of behaviour, most notably in the last two transfer […]
I have spent way too much thinking time trying to figure out who would be the best left-wing signing for Arsenal? That’s the exciting position to ponder because we all know it’s between two or three at striker and I’ve asked the good Lord for Viktor Gyokeres for three years and so at some point […]
