ONE GIANT LEAP TO EQUALITY IN FOOTBALL Six years after leaping over a Pride barrier to march with the UK’s first LGBT+ football fan group, an Arsenal season-ticket holder is organising the club’s biggest-ever Pride appearance. Jonathan Green, a long-time supporter in Arsenal’s legendary North Bank who lives in Highbury, is now secretary of Arsenal […]
I believe the 2018/19 Premier League season is a sign of things to come… With one match to play and so many positions still in contention -including top of the log – it is a sign of the growing competitiveness in the top European football leagues, and in particular the English League, with its vast […]
El Clasico Midfielders heading for the exit to Arsenal? As we look into the shadows of another fascinating week of European football, we see that this season’s climax is fast approaching. Many big hitters have left the champions league, Man City, Juventus and of course Real Madrid, both to a youthful Ajax side. Barcelona continue […]
I am delighted to read the football pages this morning and to see that we are now third in the Premiership table and once more in St. Tottering ham territory. Who would have thought that not so long ago we were 10 points behind the old lady down the road? I see that she has […]
It’s no secret that Arsenal’s defence has come under much scrutiny in recent seasons, but their reported interest in Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka highlights the Gunners are looking at the right calibre of player at least.

With 15 games left to play in the Barclays Premier League, the race for Champions League positions is tightening up. It would be fair to say that, as it stands, it is a 6-horse race for the 4 places allocated to English sides in Europe’s top football competition, and the wealth it offers. As the […]
I asked a few of the Gunners Town writers to give me their Top 6 predictions for the Premier League season 18/19. Obviously the transfer window is still open and things could change – but the one thing about the Premier League is that things are ALWAYS changing:. injuries, meltdowns, surprise losses… It’s a rollercoaster […]
Holding out for a hero My timeline has been peppered with #EmeryOut statements over the past few days. FFS, seriously, yes we were battered, but, Unai is a world class coach, who has inherited a squad that needs a massive overhaul, which can’t be undertaken in one window. We know we need at least one […]
I’ve enjoyed some of the most recent takes from fellow contributors to this blog, especially those that came in after the unexpected home draw against Wolves, the third consecutive draw in the league and the second in a row at the Emirates Stadium. Although it is pleasant to watch the Arsenal fight back from an […]
