A Game of 3 Headlines POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I love to write these post match thoughts. I find it cathartic. It’s my pub in a largely pub-less country. I’ll tell you what I love the most about the posts. It’s choosing the headlines and then the opening thoughts. I drove home yesterday after watching […]
To celebrate the release of Arsene Wenger: Invincible on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital we have 2 DVDs to give away via the @GunnersTown Twitter account. The definitive portrait of one of the greatest football managers of all time ARSÈNE WENGER: INVINCIBLE features remarkable access and previously unseen archive footage. Directors Gabriel Clarke (Bobby Robson: More Than […]
A Game for the Others POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Best laid plans. Sometimes you’ve got to bin them. Players you expect to make the difference could sometimes be out there all night. Not happening. Opponents drive your choices as much as you can. Then sometimes you win but only if you aren’t stubborn. You can’t […]
What a win! Convincing, impressive, dominant…you choose. The 2-0 win at Leigh Sports Village means we go into the international break at the top of the table, one point ahead of Chelsea. Well done, ladies. Yesterday’s game was about getting right on track after a disappointing draw in the North London Derby and rebuffing Chelsea’s […]
There has been a lot of talk about Arsene returning to The Arsenal in some capacity and just maybe this has happened sooner than we think. Similar to Wenger’s infamous spat with Maureen back in 2014. Mikel came close to blows with Klopp on Saturday night. Presumably NOT the after effects of an afternoon on […]
Composure and Confidence POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I’m writing this late in the day. Had to take time out from being disappointed. I just wasn’t expecting a return to shooting ourselves in the foot and quietly I thought that our momentum could sneak us a 1-0. I admittedly floated off to my dream state of […]
One point to validate the ticket for the quarter finals, two games to go. We’re almost there!The 3-0 win against HB Køge, paired with Barcelona thrashing TSG Hoffenheim, means that we only need one point from the next two fixtures to qualify to the knock-out phase of the Champions League.Goals from Caitlin Foord, Lotte […]
The long running Eddie Nketiah story is again in the headlines as the player is reported to be reluctant to extend his stay in North London. The England Under 21s record goal scorer feels he need to be playing regularly and at 23 by the end of this season I have some sympathy for him. […]
As an Arsenal fan it is a lovely position to be in, where you have two players that are superb in their role, vying to be the first choice. For a manager, in this case Mikel Arteta, it must be wonderful, and this is exactly what the Spaniard will face in the coming weeks, and […]
Our winning streak had to stop, eventually. It did, at the Hive, where we almost lost our invincibility. That would have been unbearable! Vivianne Miedema’s late, late header rescued a point for Jonas Eidevall’s team, which deserved much better but almost lost the first North London Derby in the league. We had the chances, we […]
