So that’s that. The Premier League season is over, and we now have just an FA Cup final to attend before a summer of unbearable transfer speculation, moaning supporters and #ITKs. Following yesterday’s news regarding Diego Costa and Josip Drmic, it’s appears to have already started. Oh the joy. We wrapped up the league campaign […]
Happy Bank Holiday everyone. I’m sure you’ve had a great weekend already, and intend to continue that today. On my walk along Holloway Road yesterday, I was pretty much dodging boozed-up fans who were taking full advantage of the sun and the fact that they didn’t have to head into work on Monday. I imagine […]
Happy Monday Gooners. I find myself in a weird scenario this week as nothing has happened regarding Arsenal since I last wrote on Wednesday. A hell of a lot has happened in the Premier League and World Football since then, but nothing that anyone at the Emirates will particularly care about. We, of course, face […]
Hello, hello, and welcome back to my weekly, ahem, Gunners Town column. Apologies for my hiatus in recent weeks, but when it comes to the crunch time of needing to write this blog, I’ve been swamped in work. That’s the difficulty with Arsenal playing at the weekend, while I’m at work, and then trying to […]
We’ve been around for 128 years and have, on the whole, experienced great success. Arsenal fans have plenty to be proud of, even if it’s been close to nine years without a trophy to speak of. While that drought should end in May when, providing we beat Wigan Athletic, we reach the FA Cup final. […]
Its’ a bit cliché, but being an Arsenal fan isn’t half an up and down adventure. Supporters of every club claim to be on a rollercoaster ride during the season, but we’ve really seen a mass fluctuation in mood, performances and results over the past couple of weeks. Protests, drubbings, a derby win, disappointing draws, […]
A belated Happy St Patrick’s Day! While the majority of the country were making their way to work yesterday morning in a miniature state of depression, with the knowledge that the sunny weekend has come to an end and the reality of returning to plugging away for another five days beckons, the mood among Arsenal […]
Jesus, what a difference a week makes eh?! This time last week it was all doom and gloom after losing at Stoke and seemingly watching our Premier League title hopes hang by a thread. Needless to say there was a wave of negativity flowing around the Goonersphere. Fast forward a week and we’re off to […]
Hello and welcome back to my Gunners Town blog. Don’t adjust the date on your phones, it is a Thursday, and it is the work of me (Matt Cotton) appearing before your very eyes. You see, I’m kind of the Mathieu Flamini of the Gunners Town team; not particularly attractive, but willing to fill in […]
Saturday June 14. That date will be significant for most English males, and Italians too, as that marks the opening day of the World Cup for those nations. The most important game takes place on this date as England battle Italy in their first Group D fixture, before facing Uruguay and Costa Rica in the […]
