Since the arrival of Arsenal’s current Club Captain, Laurent Kioscielny, there have seemingly been close links between Lorient and The Gunners. Certainly the likes of Giles Sunu, Francis Coquelin and Joel Campbell have had loan spells there with the Brittany-based team. One might logically have assumed that the links were down to the friendship between […]
In a week when Arsenal fans are again excited about the young talent being produced by the club, this fan is finding himself depressed at the debate that always follows. A statement along these lines on social media would be common – Yes, that Saka has amazing trickery and Medley seems to have wonderful composure […]
To follow on from Part 1 I promised to look at where the limited budget might be spent, if I believe it will not go on the winger most fans feel we want. For me it is increasingly apparent, that for the moment at least, Emery sees the width in this team being provided by […]
International breaks can be rather dull and more so these days with little Arsenal interest, certainly from an England perspective. In a tenuous link however we happy Gooners, are more than quietly confident that our interest in The Three Lions may well change in the not too distant future. In recent years, we have pondered […]
Last Sunday ahead of the Everton match, thanks to ‘Play with a Legend’ I was able to not only play a small sided football match with some fellow fans at the AFC Community Hub, but also to meet and play against Arsenal hero. Nigel ‘Nutty’ Winterburn. I could barely walk for a few days but […]
As we approach the end of the international break we all heave a collective sigh of relieve and turn our thoughts back to the Premier League, and in our case: a visit to St James Park. We are all hoping that Emery’s new Arsenal can build on two hard-fought (if not entirely convincing) wins over […]
Much has been written on the form of our Spanish fullback Hector Bellerin and for sure, he has been frustrating from a defensive point of view, for some time in my opinion. Ironically, however, whilst defensively he can be questioned, offensively on Saturday, he seemed to find his feet once more. Many armchair pundits have […]
There has been much written in the aftermath of the opening weekend defeat in Emery’s first competitive match. I have read much of it, listened to more and even found myself wholly unready to talk about what went wrong on the radio on Monday. It is difficult because I am certain the vast majority of […]
I think it would be fair to say that most Gunners like what they have seen so far, of Emery’s 5th summer signing from Lorient. Therefore, Gunners Town thought we should get the low down on the young midfielder from the guys behind the French club’s Twitter News and Fan account @ASMerlus GT– On the […]
As I said yesterday the speculation about how Arsenal will look and set up come August is rife, despite the welcome distraction of England’s World Cup exploits. Unusually our club find themselves in a position where many of the key players were not involved in Russia and are all back and working with Emery and […]
