An Englishman and a Belarusian walk into an Irish bar in Hong Kong to watch the latest instalment of the Europa League. The Belarusian orders a bottle of vodka and sits at one end of the bar and the Englishman orders a pint of Fosters and sits at the other. 25 minutes into the game, […]
7 days and counting… Arsene’s quotes directly after our defeat to Stoke RUFC “First we lose the ball in the middle of the park, and after that we gave them too much freedom at the back through the middle and basically gave them a goal. You need to improve the connections with the players but […]

Glorious Chaos; Enjoy the Arsenal ride. Well it was an interesting start to the season. Our defensive frailties seem to still be there, but to be fair, it was probably our 2nd choice back 3 and Cech didn’t bask himself in glory by going walkabout for two of the goals. Similar to last year’s start […]
Redirect your hate, Kroenke Out I know that GunnersTown isn’t a political beast, but it’s a forum I write on, so I am going to take this opportunity. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, launched ‘My Outdoor TV’ in the United Kingdom over the weekend and as far as I am concerned, Arsenal should not, in anyway, […]

From British Home Stores to French Connection In December 2012, Arsene looked into providing a Grahamesque British spine to the team, but things haven’t worked out that way and he now appears to be reverting to form and is back shopping at French Connection. Wenger stated that Jack was, “The leader of the group of […]

From left to right @Lizzie_g, @GlenelgGunner, @GunnerSharpy and yours truly @wellmington. A number of you may find this strange, but we all met on twitter, […]
And so it came to pass, that ‘The Mighty Arsenal’ came to the ANZ Stadium in Sydney and started the 2017/18 preseason tour with a win. It was not the most convincing but it was a win. 80,000 turned up, on a cold winter’s night, many for the first time, and did Arsenal and […]
