Captain’s Log star date nearly Christmas. Spock says he has no emotion, and that I should bother buying him anything, but he said the same thing last year and when I didn’t get him a gift the Vulcan pinched me in the balls. 3 wins in a row, but more importantly, 3 clean sheets. A lots has […]

#WengerOut? Arsene Wenger’s haters cause a stir once more but were these Arsenal fans right to do so?
Je ne suis pas d’accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai jusqu’à la mort pour que vous ayez le droit de le dire – Evelyn Beatrice Hall (also known as S.G. Tallentyre), The Friends of Voltaire I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to […]
Arsenal and Arsene Wenger are struggling, we know, but it’s time for the fans to do their bit
Well, that was a pretty good weekend wasn’t it? Missed chances, reckless defending, more Wenger out protests, shirt printing and wine throwing. Never a dull moment at our place. Don’t beat yourself up about it, see a chance to profiteer from it. You know what Enough is Enough. I am a Wenger out person but […]
Good King Wenger he looked out as we played United – Early Christmas Special :-)
New Lyrics to be sung to the tune of the well known Christmas Carol, Good King Wenceslas – Good King Wenger he looked out when we played United, when the players lay round about, no defence was sighted. Brightly shone the Ox that night, though the rest were pony, when a poor Bould came in […]
Arsenal fly out to Japan to rebuild under new coach after falling to Liverpool in the Women’s Super League
Now that I am finally settled in to my new life in Spain, I had hoped that my installments of Gunners Fair could be a bit more regular, but with the last game played in the Women’s Super League a few weeks ago, it looks like this is more an end-of-season summary than anything. A […]
Arsenal vs United – Battle or Bottle?
Many now refer to the international break as the ‘interlull’ – wholly down to arseblog – but for me the last week or so has been quite refreshing. Once the hysteria of the loss to Swansea died down then everything just became rather placid and I have a void in my locker, a void that […]
Wenger out or Wenger In, I’ll be over here with a pint and a grin – The Sketro’s Best Headlines of the week!!
Fancy reading about what’s wrong at Arsenal at the moment and what needs to be done about it then? No, thought not….. Well, its great fun at the moment ain’t it? In the short space of two weeks, my twitter timeline has gone from being almost entirely made up of discussion about which […]
Arsenal look destined to lose Lukas Podolski following Lee Dixon’s ‘weak’ Arsene Wenger revelation
So what Arsene Wenger angle could I possibly take this week? Well, it’s one that has driven my nuts in recent years and that is the lack of accountability for poor performances. Particularly as a result of our collapses, in particular I’m looking at Newcastle and Anderlecht. So what do I mean by accountability. Well, […]
Arsenal’s problem IS NOT Mikel Arteta, but a World Cup winner who needs replacing under Arsene Wenger
You know what’s odd about these spectacular collapses of ours? They just don’t surprise me anymore, I’m not even remotely shocked by it and worse still I don’t think the team are. We have various areas of the field that are way below the standard expected and until these issues are resolved and we actually […]
The Original Gooner Girl Returns
Today I am absolutely delighted to welcome back Antonia Hawken to Gunners Town. Antonia was a feature on the old ‘Welcome to the Gunners Town’ before the new management and wrote as ‘Gooner Girlfriend.’ Her last post was in January 2012 just after losing to Man United and can be read here. Delighted to have […]
