Well, that was tough, much tougher than I expected. We took the points for the eighth consecutive game without really being troubled after we scored, but found chances hard to come by to double the lead. You can see why Burnley drew with Chelsea and United and took all three points against City at Turf […]

MATCH PREVIEW: Arsenal vs Burnley. With everyone fit, who will make the starting XI?
Hi everyone. We face Burnley away in what will be our last league in two weeks, because, as you may well remember, we miss the next BPL clash due to the involvement in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. A nice reason to miss a league match! Truth be told, I was a little […]
One for all and all 4-1 – A Musketeer of a Team Performance v Liverpool
When going into the game, I honestly didn’t expect for Arsenal to pull off something like that. It has nothing to do with lack of belief: I always believe we can beat the opposition, whatever the circumstances. Rather, I knew it was make-or-break for Liverpool: a loss would basically mean they finish outside the top […]
Liverpool’s English stars make a miraculous recovery!!!
Actual football returns as we take on Liverpool at the Emirates in what is probably the most important game during the run-in. Win, and we open a nine-point gap on the Mugmashers and maintain at least a seven-point one on Spurs and Southampton. However, Liverpool is a dangerous team to play right now, exactly because […]
Walcott can hold a gun to the club’s head again- But is the gun still loaded?
What do you do when someone holds a gun to your head? “I don’t need an agent, because I will never leave Arsenal”. This quote by Jack Wilshere has become iconic. It almost reaches the heights of Adams’ “Play for the name on the front of the shirt, and they’ll remember the name on the back.” […]
Time to CECH out the ‘Battle to be Arsenal’s Number 1
It’s fair to say the goalkeeping situation is unstable right now. Just as it seemed Wojciech Szczesny established himself as a proper number 1 during the run-in in 2012-2013 season (even Ospina admitted he was initially brought in as back-up,) an atrocious start of 2014-2015 campaign, discipline issues and a particularly feeble performance from the […]
Arsenal set to sign a New Winger – A Complete analysis of our current widemen reveals why.
You’ve read the heading and most likely said: “What an idiot. Everyone knows we need a screening midfielder, that world-class striker we’ve been promised, probably a world-class goalkeeper, maybe another centre-back but definitely no mention of a winger. What is this guy even thinking?” Well, read on. I’m not saying we don’t need these players […]
2 Different Arsenals get a result where the 1 Old Arsenal would not have
Hello everyone. The last round of games before the international break took place this weekend and, truth be told, I’m a little relieved there will be no games for the next two weeks. The build-up to matches with rallying cries from managers and players alike, nerves spiking during games themselves and a short respite after […]
Goon v Toon -Time to put a below strength Newcastle to the sword and retain momentum
Hello everyone this is my first article of many I hope from Russia for Gunners Town and you can read my bio at the end! – Alex My, the last couple of days dragged by painfully slowly. I suspect it’s as much to do with us playing on Tuesday as with all the subsequent […]
