Worst World Cup Kits of All Time
Oh dear Lauren! VIVA Uruguay! Not something the England fans will be chanting this summer – or the Ghanaians ever for that matter – but Bolivia did back in 1930, and they spelled it right across their strip. That was in the inaugural World Cup and things have gone from bad to worse, and […]
Arsenal Manager hopes to bow out on a high
Shelly to go out on another high? Gunners Town would like to welcome Emmet McEvoy who returns to stand in for Anushree in Gunners Fait this week and to preview the FA Cup Final When I last wrote for this column ahead of the Champions League quarter-final tie against Birmingham, I looked towards the […]
It’s Time To Drive, Jack!
In modern football where loyalty is regarded as obscene, Jack Wilshere and Arsenal Football Club are a rare fusion of passion and talent. Right from his days in the youth team it was obvious he’ll become a core member of the team at some point. He would eventually have his breakthrough year in the 2010/2011 […]
Cesc Fabregas could return to Arsenal, but not in his usual role
A big void in my life is that I’ve never been able to pronounce the word sgjljdhfouncen. I just can’t do it. Another void, not Pink Floyd, in my life was not seeing Cesc Fabregas not win a trophy with Arsenal during his time at the club. There are big rumours, and when I say […]
VIDEO: Arsenal’s finest moment in 3282 days enjoyed by Gooners the World over
21 May 2005. 3282 days. 17 May 2014. Eight minutes in and 2-0 down, the wait appeared as if it would continue after another poor start in a big match. Gooners around the world stood stoic in agony, pain and tears, hoping to see the boys in red and white find their feet and the […]
What defines an Arsenal Legend & what defines an Arsenal Traitor?
AND WHO DECIDES? Ah, it was good while it lasted. The victory, followed by the harmony. Ah, that peaceful harmony. Naturally as the season’s door shuts hard, then as night follows day, the transfer window swiftly swings open, and with it, the seeds for argument. Well, those seeds were planted quicker than ever this year […]
Darren Berry’s FA Cup Diary
As I write, less than a week on from that unforgettable day at Wembley, I’m already starting to see some of the focus shifting from winning the FA Cup to who we should and aren’t going to sign this summer among other things, and the bitching has started in earnest. Fine, if that’s your bag, […]
Why and how Cesc would improve the Arsenal team in 2014/15
It’s that time of the summer again. The time when rumours spread like viruses. Arsenal have currently got a chronic one on their hands, with the highly contagious Cesc buzz taking over the gunners fan base. A couple of factors suggest that Fabregas’ days at FC Barcelona are numbered. Including the fact that the club […]
Heroes and Goodbyes: the End Of An Era
Good afternoon Gooners! At the start of the month, it was my birthday. It is with a heavy heart that I write this, but ‘Gunners Town’ disrespected me; me, Greg Cross, a fairly prolific provider of Friday columns, and for this reason, I have to consider my future. I received no cake, no card nor […]
