The Day Arsene Wenger Offered Me a Job…

FLASHBACK – That time when I had the pleasure of interviewing legendary coach, Arsene Wenger…

He is the man responsible for revolutionizing English football. He arrived to the Premier League with a forward-thinking style and he built the idea of what a modern day player should be through enhanced nutrition, mental conditioning, endurance training and overall well-being. Mr.Wenger was ahead of his time. A trailblazer. A mindful manager and thinker.

Being in the same room with the French football professor was a thrill. He’s on the GOAT list. He’s a game-changer. And I got to ask him a question…and he offered me a job! The magic of football.

Arsenal v Burnley Post Match Thoughts

Despite the hangover, a human formerly known as Sophie was able to gather some thoughts post Arsenal v Burnley. Is the love for Ceballos a little over the top and premature? It’s a long, long season and all Arsenal fans are trying to contain their excitement.

For the Love of Arsenal

It’s Friday, which means a wee flashback. Sharing the poem I had written in Arsene Wenger’s last season. Has much changed since this poem was written? Not sure.

I believe in, Unai Emery…for now! If he wins the Europa League Final, it will certainly make up for some of the pain caused in our Premier League collapse. It was all there for the taking and we missed huge opportunities. Our defense still so weak.

So I ask you Arsenal fans…has anything changed since Wenger departed?

Robbie from AFTV…

Like them or hate them, you cannot ignore the impact Arsenal Fan TV has had on Gunners fans across the universe. The Highbury Squad were joined for an end of season and pre-Europa League chat with Founder and football fan TV trailblazer, Robbie Lyle.

Sophie and Amanda challenge him about his platform, we talk about current and ex players, racism, Baku, and so much more!

The Season Horribilis Arsenal Wrap!

One of the all time worst seasons in Arsenal history is over. We’ve seen the good, the bad, and the fugly! Sophie & Amanda give quick fire thoughts on the entire enchilada, including Unai Emery, Jack leaving and a bit of World Cup!

Times a changing at Highbury & Heels so stay tuned for info about next season!

The Hand of Pod

Football legends don’t get much tastier than this! The Highbury & Heels squad was honoured to welcome former Leicester, Everton, Tottenham, Barcelona and England striker, Gary Lineker.

From the despair of Diego Maradona’s Hand of God to seeing his beloved Foxes win the Premier League, we discussed it all with the man who fulfilled the bet of all bets… presenting Match of the Day… in his boxers! Get stuck in.

The Day Arsene Wenger Offered Me a Job…

No matter how Arsene Wenger’s time ends at Arsenal, there is no doubt he will go down as the greatest manager the club has ever seen. Despite not winning the Premier League title for 14 years, the recent FA Cup success has eased the blow when it comes to lack of English championships.

Meeting Mr.Wenger in Los Angeles was an absolute treat. He’s a classy individual who is very charismatic and friendly with the media. When I had the chance to ask him a question, I made it count!

Premier League Grades & the New Season…

As the new season approaches, I’m joined by Oliver Wilson to hand out grades for last season and also look at how they’ve improved their squads in this insane transfer market that has gone totally balls up nuts! Who is Grade A material and who is failing miserably?

You can find Oliver @O_J_Wilson. Follow me @soccerdiva. Also this coming season, I’m joining the Gooner Girls Ramble podcast for some Arsenal chat…and much more! Check out www.thegoonerramble.com for deets!

When Mourinho Was Nice To Wenger…

Jose Mourinho talks Arsene Wenger, transfers and Premier League rivalry. It’s too quick to put the kettle on, so just have a shot of your favourite beverage instead! Football, soccer, call it what you want, it’s just like being down the pub with your mates.

Don’t forget to check out @goonerramble and the Gooner Ramble Girls podcast. Women talking all things Gunners. Doesn’t get much better than that…does it?!
