Speed – Does Wenger use it effectively for Arsenal at present and if not should he?
There is an image in my head and often on the TV that makes me wonder whether Arsenal will score a goal. It’s the situation where the opponent is structured with eight players in defensive positions. Four at the back with four ringed in front of them. Arsenal are passing the ball around the perimeter […]
With the money in the game and the stakes so high is ‘Cheating’ inevitable?
Yesterday, Anushree Nande published a very interesting and well-thought piece on Gunners Town regarding player simulation (diving) and poor on-field behavior, citing Gerard Pique’s recent meltdown as an exemplary incident. Like all good and thoughtful pieces, it made me think. I realized that I had some feelings about the piece and, having a background in […]
Who starts of the right Chamberlain or Ramsey? Does it depend on the match/opposition?
This is the sort of question that Arsene Wenger has had to answer ever since the rather fortunate but successful emergence of Francis Coquelin as Arsenal’s first-choice defensive midfielder. Over a difficult period in December 2014, with Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey all missing through injury, Arsene’s hand was forced in moving to […]
LET’S TRY AND PUT THIS GIROUD/WALCOTT DEBATE TO BED, SHALL WE?
I must say, I got invited to do a piece for Gunners Town nearly a month ago but I dawdled on it for a little while. Why? One does not simply wake up and write for Gunners Town- the piece has to be just right, about the right topic. I had a myriad of ideas, […]

The Truth is that Gazidis, Wenger and Arsenal are creating a legacy to sustain us now and in the future – SO BE PROUD TODAY!
I would like to thank our friends at Forty Nine Undefeated for allowing us to post this superb article by Gooner Chris (@AFC_ChrisGooner) In a world where short term needs and requirements are largely put before long term planning, football is no different. In fact it is worse, it feels like not a day goes by […]
Arsenal’s British core – an endangered species, fighting for survival…
by Liam Twomey No one would blame Arséne Wenger for picking the same starting XI that destroyed Hull City in thrilling style a week ago when Swansea City visit the Emirates Stadium on Monday night. Arsenal are the Premier League’s form side, unbeaten in 10 games since losing to Tottenham in early February as they […]
Is labeling Ozil a flop Over the top? Making a statistical comparison of our creative midfielder
Mesut Ozil is a flop, a waste of money, he disappears in big games, he is not good enough, etc, etc, etc. I have read numerous stories (headlines) about the man that was once labelled as ‘stealing a living’, by Robbie Savage of all people. Robbie Savage who works for the BBC, I am […]
