Apologies for a one-off non-football related post today, but there is still the Greg Cross Column to come this afternoon. However, Gunners Town feels that it is highly appropriate and critical to bring you this information regarding the battle against cancer. As we’re sure many of you have experienced yourself, Gunners Town are not alone […]

MATCH REPORT: All to do for Arsenal as Bayern Munich leave the Emirates with one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals
Another nightmare evening in the Champions League for English football brought with it another controversial red card decision, as Arsenal stopper, Wojciech Szczesny, saw red for a challenge on Arjen Robben in the closing stages of the first half while Bayern scalped a 2-0 victory at the Emirates. The resultant spot-kick, taken by David Alaba, […]
Julian Draxler rejected January move to Arsenal in favour of boyhood club Schalke
One of the most boring transfer windows ever came to an end last friday night. And in the end I was right by predicting that the Julian Draxler deal to Arsenal wouldn’t go ahead in January due to Schalke’s desperate need for Champions League football. As many Tweeted/emailed me asking what our chances are to […]
Kim Kallstrom put to one side as The Arsenal Pledge is brought to the fore
Championship Manager 01/02 and Advance The Arsenal Flair I did have an awesome blog prepared on how good a signing Kim Kallstrom was, based on his ranking in Championship Manager 01/02, but then he went and got injured, so that fell flat on its arse. Kim, Say hello to Abo So instead I went with […]

Wojciech Szczesny hits back at Arsenal fans who cried for a new number one goalkeeper in spectacular fashion
On the back of a mixed 2012-13 season, Wojciech Szczesny experienced a summer of speculation as many fans were calling for a new Arsenal number 1 ‘keeper. After a shaky performance in the first game of the season against Aston Villa, the calls for a new goalkeeper intensified, but instead of letting that get to […]
Another London Derby Win for Arsenal?
My last column for Gunnerstown was way back in November, for Dortmund away. The result of that match as I’m sure you will remember was an emphatic one for us, so I’m hoping that I can carry on winning ways with this preview too. These previews have and possibly will be sporadic as I’m currently […]
Will Arsene Wenger sign a new striker for Arsenal during the January transfer window?
Arsene Wenger is known to be a miserly spender in the transfer market. He doesn’t believe in in a squad bought with money. He has always had an eye for talent and has made so many players from scratch and grow into big names. Cesc Fabregas, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Robin Van Persie, […]
The return of Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere
Having been overshadowed and perhaps somewhat intimidated by Aaron Ramsey’s rise to prominence at Arsenal, Jack Wilshere is re-finding form at the perfect time. Not only is Wilshere doing things he’s done well before, but he’s also adding goals to his game, which seems to me to be the most effective catalyst for improvement. Jack’s […]
Arsenal show style and substance to go top, but are still underdogs for the Premier League title

At times during the first half ‘Total Football’ was on display as Arsenal looked back to their classic, high tempo, passing pinnacle after having to settle to grind out results in recent weeks. […]
