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?

Impressive Cityzens

Manchester City spent their pre season tour in the United States and to say I found their entire set-up impressive is an understatement. Coolest thing of all was the time they spent with fans. Definitely flew the flag proudly for the Premier League!

Premier League Grades & the New Season…

A Bergkamp Wonderland

Had an absolute blast chatting with the lads on A Bergkamp Wonderland. We got stuck into the good, the bad and the ugly. Should Wenger stay or go? Is Stan Kroenke the right owner for Arsenal? Why do the Gunners collapse mentally when they concede a goal? What is the best midfield option? What’s happened to Mesut Ozil? And should the club keep Mesut Ozil? Tune in and have a listen. You’ll need some type of beverage and snack. It’s a magical 2 hours of pure football heaven. You can follow the boys here @jasondavies71 @PR_WhoRu GeoffArsenal The_GFP!
