This week, I chose to write about the man of the moment, whom I can’t help but love with all my Gooner heart. Plenty has been written about Aaron Ramsey this season, but I felt compelled to have my own say and appreciate the player and what a story his is, in my own words. […]
[heading size=”8″]Manchester United 1 Arsenal 0 – Beaten, But Not A Disaster[/heading] Arsenal’s fine unbeaten away form came to an end with a 1-0 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford. It was a cagey affair with few chances for either side, ultimately decided by a Robin van Persie header/shoulder off a corner half way […]
M’Baye Niang. A name that is well known to move Arsenal fans and one that belongs with the likes of “Yann M’Vila” or “Ricky Alvarez” on the list of players that, at a very young age, impressed at their home clubs enough to be linked extensively with a move to Arsenal. However, as the title […]
Through The Never – Metallica’s groundbreaking, rip-roaring, 3-D thrash metal of a movie following a roadie’s adventures during their live show. A colleague of mine had recently regaled me about how much his mind was unexpectedly blown on such a trip to the IMAX to see this surreal concert film. The litany of pyrotechnics, lasers, […]
We travel to Dortmund today to play in arguably one of the toughest stadiums to visit in Europe – the Signal Iduna Park or Westfalenstadion depending on your preference. This game will be the pick of the fixtures for many neutrals tonight and promises to be another close fought encounter following Borussia Dortmund’s victory at […]

I’ve been threatening to pen some thoughts for Dave for some time but never really managed to get enough time to jot down something vaguely coherent enough for what I think is deemed worthy of Gunners Town. Usually my rambling nonsensicalness (that can’t be a word, surely, but I’m […]
In the United States, at least, to be an openly gay (sadly, over here, being queer still needs to be prefaced by “openly,” but a separate issue for another time) sports fan is viewed somewhat askance. We’re just looking at the players is a common refrain, as if one can’t be queer and a student […]
♪ What a diff’rence a day makes, 24 little hours ♪ Oh how I wish Dinah Washington remixed it to “What a diff’rence 4 days make, 96 little hours”, it would’ve been so so much more fitting. Can we all just for a moment cast our minds back to the mauling we took at the […]
After our midweek slump against Chelsea, I can think of teams I’d rather play that Liverpool at the moment. Liverpool are in a good run of form, not dissimilar to us and will want to do everything to keep that momentum going. With two defeats in two games at The Emirates, we can’t afford to […]
If you forget about the recent losses at the Emirates against Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, it’s been a very good start to the season. We’re top of the Premier League, spent big money on a genuinely world-class player in Mesut Ozil and have a good chance of getting through our group in the Champions […]
