Until last night I had never seen Arsenal win the league title. I’m 32 years old and I started supporting the club when I was 10. Those of you good at math will quickly grasp my obsession started in 2004, which was the year of the Invincibles. Yet the obsession started in the summer, when […]
‘The monkey jumps off and the giant roars’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective There are a handful of sleeping giants in world football. Juventus, Man United, AC Milan and probably others. There are those that win frequently. Barcelona, Porto, PSG, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Celtic, Man City and probably others. There are those […]
They said it quietly at first, like a superstition you don’t dare say out loud. Then louder, bolder, until it rolled through pubs, group chats, and North London streets like a familiar drumbeat rediscovered: It’s coming home. North London’s throne. Reclaimed. Not the old joke. Not the meme. Not the yearly setup for the fall. […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!Wins against Everton and Liverpool ensured that Arsenal Women finish runners-up in the WSL, which guarantees UWCL group phase football for next season.

Arsenal website broke the news and our hearts a few days ago, and the wound is still open: […]
‘The pinch’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’m taking a calculated risk by admitting this. I’ve never thought that I’m mad or living in another reality but since the world went mad, I’ve thought about it. I’ve heard many people state that we are living in a scripted movie and this is how […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! That’s it, folks. The away draw at Brighton handed Manchester City their first title in a decade, as the Gunners are left to rue the missed chances and the bad luck. Despite the changes made by Renée Slegers, the team looked low on energy and not as sharp as we could […]
It’s been a while since I last blogged. Life has a way of getting in the way sometimes, and football writing naturally takes a back seat when your personal life becomes the priority. But this Arsenal team has a way of pulling you back in. As strange as it may sound considering what could still […]
‘Arsenal and the waterpark’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Now don’t be jealous. I live near two of the world’s best water parks. In fact, if I was American, I would probably say I live near seven of the best. Over in the US, they don’t think that four hours away is really […]
