Coq jumping: our super-DM gets his own meme
I know this isn’t 4Chan. Or 9Gag. Or ebaumsworld. But posting these pics on those sites would go down like a lead balloon. So I’m posting them here, in the hope that they inspire you to put Coq in his rightful (elevated/superior) place. I’ve included the transparent Coq cutout at the bottom of this post so […]
Arsenal trio visit amputee football session
Petr Cech, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey paid a recent visit to an amputee football session at the Arsenal Hub – Home of Arsenal in the Community. The Gunners trio watched the Arsenal London Amps train, helped with some drills and talked with the group. One participant explained how he had lost his leg in […]
Arsenal in the Community Picks Up Prestigious European Club Association Award
Arsenal in the Community scooped a special award in recognition of its Employability Programme at the European Club Association’s (ECA) Annual General Assembly last night.

THE PROLIFERATION OF THE ARSENAL TROLL – A Modern Phenomenon?
Okay so some might have qualms with my choice of word used to describe the increase in the number of Arsenal trolls around but hey, they are as dangerous as the word it’s normally used to describe; Nuclear Weapons. In this day and age, the advent of social media has had astounding effects on the […]
Mute Michael Owen. Match commentary by real Arsenal fans. Courtesy of Gunners Town.
Tired of listening to the same old boring and biased match commentary? Or having to listen to Michael Owen wax cynical? Or trying to decipher what the hell it is that Jamie Carragher is emitting from his face-hole? Yeah. We are too! Always ahead of the curve, and prepared to lose a fingertip to technology’s […]
Ambition? Competition? Incomplete Squad? Why Arsenal fans need to rationalise the transfer window
“I am always confident that a last-minute situation or solution is available, because the transfer market is especially moving in the last four or five days. But at the moment I cannot promise you that. We have specific targets but sometimes you get an idea from somebody because you didn’t know that the player you […]
Walcott never will be an impact player against a compact defence but Giroud can be so….
I’ll get straight to the point: can someone explain the logic of substituting Olivier Giroud with Theo Walcott when the opposite team defends well deep into their half? I don’t get it and yet Arsène Wenger does it quite often. At a time in the game that saw us putting some real pressure on Liverpool’s […]
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 […]
Coquelin makes us STRONG but “YOU NEED TO BUY WHEN YOU ARE STRONG!”
I have five replica Arsenal shirts hanging in my bedroom wardrobe, one of which I am proud to wear, and four I am not. For the sake of continuity, over the years I always ensured I purchased large versions of each jersey for the simple sake of re-use. I found out – probably the hard […]
