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 […]

Why can’t Arsenal solve the Midfield dilemma? One CM who sits, one box to box & one attacking. Easy?
It’s been a while since my last blog, far too long in all honesty but the hardest part about starting again is knowing where to start. I have many issues with this current Arsenal side and particularly with Arsene Wenger – but there is one area of the pitch that irks me more than most […]
Gunners Face Make-Or-Break November – A Gunners Town Preview
We posted last week that what looks like another frustrating EPL campaign should perhaps result in a makeover for the Gunners—and it’s fair to say things aren’t looking mightily encouraging at the moment. Fourteen points through the first nine matches is less than ideal for a club with the sort of talent Arsene Wenger is […]
Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger should head to the Scottish Highlands in search of complementing Alexis Sanchez’s rough and wild side
Hi everyone! I’m just back from a wonderful road trip in Scotland and I was glad I could find out that the country responsible for the birth, rise and success of Sir Alex Ferguson is also able to produce something wonderful, which is reassuring.

Injuries Report: What lies behind Arsenal’s appalling fitness record?
It’s often said that the Arsenal team starting the season are different to the Arsenal team finishing the season. Throughout the Premier League there’s a belief that Arsenal cannot win the title because the team only play well for one half of the season. Many feel this inconsistency occurs because Arsenal are soft and are unable to remain composed when it matters most, unlike […]
The Wilshere article the Tabloids should write but can’t whilst they bash him
“Fi fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he live, or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread” I find that this poem, as given in Joseph Jacob’s 1890 rendition of the classic English fairytale ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, is very much applicable to […]
Welbeck Provides Perfect Response to Van Gaal’s Criticism
Danny Welbeck provided the perfect response to his critics by scoring a hat-trick against Galatasaray in the 4-1 victory. This was the striker’s fourth goal in five appearances since moving to Arsenal in a £16 million deal from Manchester United. Welbeck was given a shocking parting gift from United after their manager Louis van Gaal […]
The Hilarious Arsenal Fan’s A-Z of Tottenham, laughing stock of North London
Apologies for the tardiness of this week’s instalment, I couldn’t be arsed to write last week, in all honesty. Those of you thinking “I hadn’t noticed he didn’t write last week” or if you simply couldn’t give a shit, thank you for your support. I jest, of course, but it wouldn’t be surprising if either […]
Arsene Wenger has Arsenal selection problems to address, while key duo are out for Manchester City
Finally back to domestic football and the Arsenal have a tasty fixture to come as the champions visit North London. To be fair, although mot Gooners blow at their cheeks at the prospect of an international break, this particular spate did hold more interest for Gunners than is often the case, with four of our […]
