Morning folks, It’s the North London derby day and, despite losing just two weeks ago, I can’t help but feel optimistic regarding our chances. In part this optimism is down to a good recent home record. The Gunners have won 10 league games in a row at the Emirates – setting a personal record in […]

Big Club, Smaller Club -Milan have Internazionale, Liverpool have Everton and Arsenal have their Spurs
Us vs. Them Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur 18th Nov. 2017 – Emirates Stadium preview They’re coming here. That’s right, the club with fewer trophies than us. The club with far less league titles than us. The club with a far smaller turnover and global fanbase than us. But I love that they: – claim to […]
Wined, dined and 89’d… An Arsenal Love Affair.
Another fantastic guest post by @R_GOONER Having not been invited to the premier last week (but I’m over it) it was a great pleasure to dig deep into my pocket for the 89p to be at the Emirates to watch the Membership screening of the 89 film. (Ed: if you haven’t read it yet, read […]
Exclusive Interview/Scouting Report on Arsenal target Hirving Lozano
Will the Premier league be Child’s play for “Chucky”? Away days may never be the same again for the Arsenal players, if the rumours are to be believed and the club sign Mexican winger Hirving “Chucky” Lozano. “Chucky” the nickname Lozano received from his former Pachuca team mates because of his urge for jumping out […]
Nabil Fekir: Luxury or Necessity?
The atmosphere around the Arsenal this season has been a strange one, with the current contract issues facing our two biggest players and with more to come in on their deals. It has been a mixed bag for both when they have been played and more so for Alexis Sanchez who clearly looks like he […]
Would moving Ozil up front with Lacazette re-energise the German Playmaker?
This article was a comment on this morning’s piece on Arsenal trying a 352 with a partner for Lacazette. Dave suggested Giroud or Welbeck but an old Gunners Town writer got in touch suggesting an interesting alternative. I agree with pretty much all about the formation and midfield, but ideally we would keep Ozil who could still […]
Zaha to Arsenal: “Haha!” or “Aha”?
During a slow international weekend break, Arsenal Fan TV tweeted: “Wilfried Zaha is being lined up for a move to Arsenal. Is he good enough to replace Sanchez?” Or words to that effect. It would be wrong to say responses to the tweet were unanimously negative, but overall it appeared as if Zaha wouldn’t be […]
Has Cech Petr-ed out?
I like Cech, but this season he has been pretty poor. As of now (the international break), he has 4 Premier League clean sheets, which is not that far behind Courtois, Lloris, or de Gea as other top six team keepers. He, of course, holds the Premier League all-time clean sheet record, and the joint […]
Time for Lacazette and Giroud in a new 352 – Wenger to follow England’s Cue
The debate on Arsenal’s contract rebels will rumble on and as long as it does it will only exacerbate the division of opinions on Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez. Neither performed at anywhere near the levels we know they are capable of last time out at the Eithad. The venue for their understated (being polite) […]
