Now Puma have taken over the 20 year reign of Nike as the Vic Akers favourite accompaniment with Bold 2 in 1, I thought I’d have a look back at ‘My Arsenal Life In Nike’. May 1997 – Worn with pride, whilst sat in the pub in Dorchester, watching Wrighty bang in a couple against […]
The biggest sporting moments from the best of British, including Theo Walcott, have been immortalised on canvas and will be auctioned from September 4 to 14 for Willow – the only national charity working with seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 to fulfill uplifting and unforgettable Special Days. The artworks will be on […]
At the time it was revealed Cesc Fabregas wasn’t returning to Arsenal, reports (including me) suggested it was largely due to Mesut Ozil’s arrival last summer. However, after taking a deeper look at that line of thought, it occurred to me that it’s because Arsene was already beginning to build something special in central midfield, […]
How are we doing, Gooners? Enjoying the glorious weather? Kits all ironed and ready for The Emirates Cup this weekend? Are we all enjoying Puma’s new offerings – and is it bad that I quite like the third one?! The departure, after two decades, of Nike, had me reminiscing – they were the kit suppliers […]
If I were to compare Abou Diaby to a food, it would be a Finnish crisp bread. Despite being French and not Finnish, Abou is just as delicate, fragile and ultimately precarious as a crisp bread. Just like overloading a crisp bread with toppings, if you rely on him too much in an attempt to […]
A short foreword by Dave Seager Many of you will follow @mj_afc on twitter and some will have shared beer with him. Most will have marveled at how he is an Arsenal season ticket holder and away supporter whilst living in the North East. We have all taken our hats off to him for his […]
Whilst we are massively proud of the fact that our editor Matt Cotton is now writing for The Times on an increasing basis – in readiness for the new season we wanted a new assistant to support him. To that end we are delighted to welcome Akash Nihalani to Gunners Town as Assistant Editor to […]
Well, it’s started, hasn’t it?! Mathieu Debuchy…Alexis Sanchez…who else will arrive at N5 this summer? What a pair of signings. It struck me, last week, whilst I was contemplating life from the horizontal position of a dentist’s chair (for an hour) just how much the Arsenal transfer windows were like visiting the dentist’s. Firstly, it […]
All entertaining sides have a spine of core players on which the team bases it’s effectiveness on. The Invincibles and Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona side had that. Its also a trait we saw in Jurgen Klopp’s Dortmund side who secured back to back Bundesliga success. Now it all seems to be coming together for Arsenal, who […]
Bonjour my fellow Gooners. With the World Cup running, we all miss our Arsenal. Fortunately, our players are in duty with their national team. Especially the French, who I’m pleased to follow in another World Cup journey. And as you (may) have seen, Koscielny, Giroud and even Sagna, are doing really well. Didier Deschamps, French […]
