When will we celebrate St Totteringham’s Day? St Totterngham’s Day Dictionary Definition – The phrase has been around for so long it is in the book! St Totteringham’s Day is the day when Arsenal fans celebrate the fact that Tottenham can no longer catch Arsenal in the League. It is a movable feast, but usually […]

No to Madrid on Koscielny without player exchange and Arsenal reaping benefits of investing in a ‘Home Grown’ policy.
This week has been a very interesting one as far as non-playing weeks go. We’ve signed another promising youngster who may or may not turn out to be special. I really feel that we’re going to see an awful lot more of this sort of thing from other clubs now that the ‘home grown’ quota […]
Super Jack should stay and fight for his Arsenal place and then the captaincy
The season is weeks away but there’s still plenty going on in the world of Arsenal. The stories that I’ve found the most interesting have centred around Jack Wilshere. Not just the question of his best position, but also whether he’ll be an Arsenal player next season. A lot has already been written about whether […]
“I said last year that Arsene Wenger wasn’t top class – I was wrong Wenger is TOP CLASS!”
In November of last year I wrote a blog which the editors here at Gunners Town titled ‘Arsene Wenger is not top class anymore’, which was as accurate a reflection of the piece as you could get. It wasn’t a reactionary rant about another painful loss, (it was after we blew 3 goal lead to […]
Why Arsenal were so good at making Villa bad – Sherwood out thought, his players out fought!
So much has already been said about the Cup Final, but I just don’t get tired of reading about how glorious we were on Saturday, and I’m guessing that most Arsenal fans feel the same way. However in the interest of not repeating what’s already been said, I’ll go over why It all went wrong […]
Result & Performance v West Brom now CRITICAL – We need lay down a marker to frighten Aston Villa
Despite more or less nailing third place, the West Brom game has become massively important. Not because it’s a chance to use some squad players and rest our big guns, and not because it’s our last home game of the season, but because we need to show Aston Villa that their game plan won’t work. […]
The defeat by Swansea proved that Arsenal CAN win the League not that we can’t
The defeat I was as surprised by the Swansea defeat as anyone, but I was more surprised by some of the fans reactions afterwards. I don’t consider myself an AKB, and certainly earlier on in the season I thought Wenger should go, but I’ve come to realise that perhaps I was wrong and I thought […]
Alexis, Monreal, Coquelin – The Bermuda Triangle where opposition attacks disappear!
Hull Hull had a very specific plan in place for us. It was a good plan, and it had worked against Liverpool, but we are (by some distance) a better side than Liverpool, and where the strengths of the plan paid off against Rogers side it’s weaknesses were mercilessly exploited by us. Another problem that Steve […]
Have Arsenal taken a big step forward or have City and Liverpool just taken a step backwards?
Chelsea I was expecting us to beat Chelsea at home. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t. That was the first indication that we have progressed this season, or more specifically in the second half of this season. I don’t remember the last time I looked forward to a game against Chelsea. Even at […]
Disrespectful Wenger dodges Reading bullet in unnecessarily hairy FA Cup Semi-Final
Arséne made several changes to the team that won at Turf Moor last week. Szczesny for Ospina I understand. I don’t agree with it, but I understand. He likes to have a different cup keeper for some reason so this was no surprise. After that the changes ranged from slightly baffling to downright incomprehensible. We’ll […]
