I am afraid I am not entirely in agreement with the current positivity on our club. We have just completed two very shaky matches against Aston Villa and Watford. There was very little evidence of the dedication or talent I have seen described in recent Gunners Town blogs. 3- 0 up against the second worst […]

Arteta has learned from Admirals, steadied the Good Ship Arsenal – So let’s put some wind in his sails!
I admire Arteta; he is a studious man who played as a very good midfielder. During his time with us he was known to be a serious thinker about how the game should be played. When he retired, he was at the twilight of his talented contribution from Arsenal but good enough in Pep Guardiola […]
Arsenal are not Unsinkable – We are a Titanic heading for an iceberg so change course Josh!
At the start of the season, I felt like Matt Lorrimer-Roberts, as he says in his excellent article, and I was prepared not to criticise Emery for this season to give him time to work out the make – up of his team. I admire Matt`s fair mindedness and I note that he is now […]
Guendouzi the next scapegoat as Rodgers outfoxes hapless Emery
I have just read an article on Gunnertalk and I was amazed that the article stated that Guendouzi had been terrible, moreover the content was followed by several comments from followers who agreed with the writer. I have just seen how poisonous public media can be. Some of the claims referred to what should happen to […]
No Mourinho here thanks – Despite his love of Classy Mesut
I cannot understand why so much paper is being foolishly stuffed with talk about Mourinho. He was audacious, self – opinionated and quick to disparage other managers, but he was successful which of course increased his Ego. He was brash. An Inter fan christened him “The Special One” when he joined them and thereafter he […]
Is Emery’s lack of structure hurting our most talented group of youngsters in years?
I watched our match against Vitoria of Portugal. They are 4th in the Portuguese top league. Not a great pedigree, but good enough to lead us a merry dance for 80 mins when Pepe equalised their second goal. He then went on to score the winner with a last gasp free kick. That was a momentous […]
Banana skin or systemic breakdown? An inquest on the Sheffield United defeat
I have just read Michael McDonalds excellent article. I agree with a lot of what he says and I too am happy with our `behind the door` team in relation to the procuring of top class players. I am also very pleased at the progress of our young players. We had one of our banana […]
Arsenal Squad Rankings: the entire Gunner squad ranked based on their impact, consistency and attitude
I have read most of the articles written by people in recent weeks and I am struck by the impact of Acadamy youngsters and good acquisitions such as Pepe and Ceballos We are now in 3rd place which in my judgement will be our final place. Many fans have stated their opinions on how new players […]
Would a Holding and Chambers Partnership give us a true Captain and Vice-Captain in the future?
I agree that we were lacking confidence on the ball, however, Utd. played with confidence for the first half hour. I was surprised because they have been awful in recent matches. They have no new players to be enthused over and we have been improving, but it was them who fired passes all around the […]
Emery needs to be ruthless with those making ‘Individual Errors’ if Top 3 finish to be a reality
I am delighted to say that Guendouzi was most people’s man of the match. I have previously cautioned some fans who were trumpeting his skills because he had many faults caused by naivety and lack of experience. I did say though that he was a future star in the making. If he produces this quality […]
