So Arsenal have injury woes again. Bears shit in the woods, The Pope is Catholic and Dolly Parton sleeps on her back. I’m usually pretty balanced with my views on Arsenal and oddly despite being the most emotional of characters, I don’t generally rant like a belligerent child over all things related to the club […]
Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez are gone for a while, there’s no apparent way to stop the unmatched growth of our list of injured players. We have recruited Shad Forsythe – arguably the best fitness expert in the world – and yet we have players going down with muscular injuries at a very frightening rate. One […]
Gunners Town Co-Editor Dave Seager was asked by Sunderland Blog ‘Salute Sunderland’ to chat about this Saturday’s visit to the Emirates of the Black Cats. Our thanks to Colin Randell who has allowed us to reproduce Dave’s interview and thoughts here: Dave Seager* is the man (One of!) behind the popular Arsenal fan site Gunners […]
As you may (or may not know) – Gunners Town is a UK/South African co-operative. It is owned and run by Dave Seager – a.k.a. @goonerdave66 – (UK) and Batmandela – a.k.a. @invinciblog – (South Africa). In the two-and-a-half years that we have been up and running, we have had nearly 4 million visitors. Gunners […]
The last couple of days or so has seen a meltdown of almost catastrophic proportions across the Arsenal fan base due to the injury of our seemingly only capable midfield enforcer Francis Coquelin. The knee injury sustained by our ‘police officer’ has many believing that our title challenge could suffer greatly as a consequence, although […]
*not an ode, I’m not much of a poet Note: this piece was written before Arsenal took on West Brom When Theo Walcott limped off against Sheffield Wednesday, a collective gasp escaped the lips of Gooners all over the globe: the injury meant we were left with one fit striker. A situation all-too-familiar for Arsenal […]
ARSENAL’s NO CAP WONDERS Well the North London derby is done and dusted and we’re deep into yet another Interlull, so I thought this would be as good a time as any to talk about six Arsenal players who were criminally overlooked by England. There are some awful players that have been capped for England. […]
After the events in midweek an Arsenal fan would be forgiven if he were found to be hoping for a draw at the Liberty Stadium. I was also one of those people even despite knowing that Gomis was not at his best. All the hope and ‘cohesion’ in the world would be soon forgotten in […]
“It is difficult. Even if I had not played a lot last season, in my head I would return to start after my recovery. But, at the Community Shield against Chelsea, Wenger chose him, Bellerin. It was a surprise and a disappointment. Let’s say it [leaving] crossed my mind.”- Mathieu Debuchy. Football is indeed, as […]
Although the embarrassing surrender against Sheffield Wednesday signalled the end of our participation in this season’s Capital One Cup and amounted to our heaviest defeat against lower league opposition in fifty six years, bizarrely, numerous Arsenal supporters somehow found positives amongst the debris of our exit, however, as you may have already realised, I wasn’t […]
