(Editor’s Note: This post was written before the 5-1 loss to FC Bayern in the Champions League last night) Arsène Wenger’s reign is coming to an end, his departure in the summer looking increasingly realistic, and speculations suggest he won’t “move upstairs” but simply leave the Club and either retire or continue his career […]
Dear angry, depressed, resigned Gooners, I’m back with my weekly column. Inspired by Dave the Master and his brilliant piece on why Arsène Wenger should rotate his left-backs, I also try to find some positives in these gloomy days. The defeat suffered against Chelsea has reminded us that we still have a lot to go […]
What a paradox! This winter’s definitely was the transfers window I enjoyed the most – Yet Arsenal basically had zero activity. The window shut down last night and there was no anxiety, no drama, no speculations, no anger and no frustration, which is a very pleasant change, compared to recent seasons. Have we finally moved […]
Well Gooners, let’s tackle it straight away: Granit Xhaka is a hot tempered lad. He is very passionate, he has a proper fighting spirit and he doesn’t hide when things heat-up. Yet, it doesn’t mean he’s a liability to the team and someone always on the verge of being given the marching orders. It’s been […]
When Petr Čech joined, I was very happy. Surely it didn’t come as a surprise, as speculations went on for a couple of transfers windows, but I remember how satisfied I was, how happy I felt to finally have a top-class goalkeeper at the Club.

Good day, fellow Gooners! I hope you had an excellent Christmas & New Year break and enjoyed the encouraging wins against West Brom and Crystal Palace. It must be said that we weren’t at our best in terms of performance and quality of our football but those six points did a lot of good; it’s […]
Many words have been spent about the impressive depth of our team this season, so I guess that Arsène Wenger’s forgotten men won’t have a better chance to show their worth than Saturday’s match at Old Trafford. According to the latest team news, against Manchester United we’re very likely to miss all our major attacking […]
The observant regular readers of Gunners Town may have noticed that Andrea’s popular Clock End Italia Column has been scarce of late. He’s back….. Good day Gooners! It’s been a long time since my last appearance on Gunners Town; it was September, 28th and we were about to play Basel at the Emirates Stadium, for […]
Hello fellow Gooners! I’m replacing Alex – supposedly busy , I believe he’s still recovering from the amazing 3-0 win in his first-ever match at the Emirates Stadium – to preview for you the Champions League game against Swiss champions FC Basel. I’ve been living in Switzerland for almost nine years now and I’m slowly […]
Well, for a surprise, this is a surprise. The Arsenal Football Club just announced the arrival of former Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight coach Arsène Wenger at the helm of the Club, to replace the departing Bruce Rioch. Despite penning a three-years deal fourteen months ago only and qualifying for next year’s UEFA Cup by […]
