Today just shows again what happens when you invest in you Academy and don’t do silly things like close it or just play lip service to players development. Incredible job done by all at the
@ArsenalAcademy
with plenty more talent to follow. Great day for Ethan and his family.
Seeing a lot of opposed Vs unopposed again on here. Drives me mad, it’s all about the balance, no one way alone is truly elite. Spend years studying as many players as possible, don’t read one book, see one session or listen to one pod cast and form a fixed view! Rant over ⚽️
So, season 24 finally kicked off for me today. Great to be back on the grass with the players and see all the staff again. Also nice to get my hands on some early season silverware 😂
That’s season number 26 done! Thanks to the
@ArsenalAcademy
players and staff for another top season. Let’s see what season 27 and 13 at Arsenal brings.
Season 25 in Academy football started this week, 11th at
@Arsenal
Great to be back on the grass with such talented players and staff, we are very lucky as to who we get to work with. ⚽️
So today my 23rd season in academy football actually finishes. Shame how it finished, fantastic season with amazingly talented players and staff. Gutted the national final was cancelled, would have been a great game against City. Roll on season 24! ⚽️
The Sancho story is an interesting one. At the foundation phase was very much middle of the pack, did not dominate games! Shows what waiting for players who have a flair for 1v1 can result in, look at intent and learning, not the outcome on that given Sunday!
Season 25 in academy football done. As always, lucky to have the opportunity work with so many talented players and staff. Time to remember how to hit a golf ball straight again but season 26 already on the horizon! ⚽️👴🏻

So my 23rd Acadmey season has started, 10th at the club over two spells. Great to be working with the talented u16 team and Dan Micciche who I worked with at Spurs 10 years ago. Nice to be back on the fake grass 👍🏻⚽️☀️
Lots of plaudits being played to certain 1st team mangers for the development of the players in the England team. Not so many for the job the Academy’s recruitment, coaching, physio, S&C etc departments have done. Enjoy tonight everyone, what a job you have all done ⚽️💪🏻

The day has come! Freddie’s handicap index (8.0) is now lower than mine (8.2). I am very irritated (at my golf) but delighted (for his golf) as for a boy that was only 10 a few weeks ago and weighs 2 stone wet, it’s a pretty unbelievable achievement. 🏌🏻♂️

A early morning run (to the training ground), two training sessions and a match before 1.30pm! Body, mind and wife now reminding me I am not 20 years old anymore. Can’t beat being on the grass helping players become better. Now my daughter wants to play pencil nose 🤦🏻♂️ ⚽️ 😴😴😴

who’s players make up half the team. 🏌🏻♂️
Fred playing some great golf at the moment, winning approach from last nights match. Such a shame we can’t get out to America for the

worlds later this month, three years in a row he has qualified and we still have not got out there. Fingers crossed for next year. 🏌🏻♂️
Last round with Freddie for a while. For the greater good but will miss this beautiful place and watching the boy play, especially like he did today. 🏌🏻♂️☀️😢

Hit a 73 today, first time under handicap since lockdown! Hated golf now like it again. Cut to Sunday (next round) won’t like it anymore i suspect! 🏌🏻♂️
We should be in America watching Fred’s 1st round at the

world championships. Instead, I am in Enfield and have had 7 hours of meetings with no gap. Buzzing! 🙈
So sad this for the

's west London home should have hosted its final league game on Saturday; with no set resumption date for football, a return appears unlikely.

🙈🙈 this is not even a quarter of the talent out there the club let go for nothing. Quality was scary good, just glad the majority of the players and staff have pushed on.
