Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Was it a cross? Was it a strike? Does anyone care? Beth Mead’s second goal will go down as one of this season’s finest, the icing on a truly exquisite cake baked by Renée Slegers and her players. The four-nil win away to Crystal Palace ensured that we could prepare the […]
When you can’t see great An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I am a blessed man. Feeling very blessed. I think those are two different things. If there is one emotion in my life that I can’t shake, it’s that. I offer thanks at least twice in the day. Not just for the […]
If that was the past POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Before the game started I was really looking forward to simply watching my team. I’ve been bragging about the ‘new Arsenal’ to many people and told them to tune in. I desperately wanted Arsenal to show my friends and the world that they have changed. The […]
Its finally here, the football season kicks off tonight as we face off against Crystal Palace. After what seems like an age from when we last kicked off against Everton on the 22nd May the football is back. The new shirts are now released; squad numbers have shuffled about, pre season games completed and […]
Since signing for Arsenal in 2016, Granit Xhaka has been a polarising figure for Arsenal fans. From literally picking his nose as Watford scored a goal back in 2017, to his ability to score goals at long range, to being praised for recent performances, Xhaka is an interesting and perhaps misunderstood player. Some Arsenal supporters […]
The Players, The Club, but not The Coach Positives, Needs and Hopes At the beginning of the Arteta reign I wrote a blog about where the improvement would take us. I felt and still feel that although the improvement gives us great hope, a decent portion of it is simply taking us back to neutral. […]
‘The Unnecessary Self Destruction of Unai Emery’ I wonder if anyone in Unai Emery’s circle will ever sit him down and tell him the truth. As and when he leaves Arsenal somebody needs to tell him that he blew up his own birthday party. Last Spring many wanted a rest from Arsenal. In a short […]
Arsenal 2-3 Crystal Palace Premier League Review Our top four hopes have been dented, and in some ways shattered. Roy Hodgson has proven he’s no dead/joke manager since his game plan worked a treat. And despite Manchester United and Spurs losing, we couldn’t capitalise on their failures. We failed just as much. This […]
‘THE £100 MILLION UPGRADE’ Positives, Needs and Hopes I’ve decided to not cause myself any further pain. It would be super easy to go in two footed on that selection and performance but no doubt you’ve read that over and over already as it’s 35 minutes after the final whistle and that’s all I’ve read. […]
3 decisive moments…. Positives, Needs and Hopes Well, that wasn’t easy but that’s good for us. Will help us prepare for more difficult games. Three decisive moments decided the outcome. Mr. Rash had obviously been missing his close relationship with the grass and so decided to make a visit via whacking Kouyate. How long will […]
