We are welcoming a new writer to Gunners Town and how timely that his first article assesses the impact of Mo Elneny, just as he scoops the Arsenal Player of the Month award – Luke Smith @thegoonerway So the newly added Egyptian midfielder that joined us in January hasn’t hit the headlines big early on […]

Little Bit Handbrake : A Forgettable Messi February
With work related travel taking up a huge part of the last three weeks, I’ve been unable to post my column per my usual schedule. In a way, I count this as a blessing in disguise. It has shielded me from what has been such a toxic and painful month for Arsenal and Arsenal fans […]
Alexis and Ozil rested for visit of Swansea ahead of NLD – Risky Strategy or needed?
In the absence of Alex, our usual previewer I have stepped into the breach today. After all, he had to make himself write the review of the Old Trafford Horror show and deserved a rest. Anything else would be editorial mental cruelty on my part. My style of writing does not lend itself to […]
An Invisible Man, (Theo) Mr Anonymous (Rambo) and a Rudderless Ship – All Change Please!
Where do I even begin this blog? I haven’t had much mojo for blogging recently, so I have been quiet. After that travesty at Old Trafford, though, I’m not going to hold back. Arsenal need a major overhaul and I am starting to wonder if Wenger is the man to do it, or if he […]
United fans think we are the ‘same old Arsenal’ but with a better Keeper – Are they right?
It was hardly a surprise that Arsenal lost to Barcelona. They are the best team in the world and their front three contains three of the world’s best strikers. Maybe Real Madrid fans should educate some of us Arsenal fans on how good Barcelona really are. I get the fact that our season is hanging […]
Arsenal have done it before, can they do it again? #AFC v FCB
There have been quite a few articles this week on how we can beat Barcelona. I particularly liked this one from Michael Cox, where he argues the combination of early pressing and deep defending for the remainder of the game can do the trick. Then there were two, very similar in the idea they conveyed, […]
Toothless Tigers won’t hurt Arsenal as Bruce prioritises Premier League return
Arsenal’s FA Cup fixture against Hull will bring back memories of the memorable 2014 final at Wembley but for the squad and the manager, it is the start of another of those mini blocks of games that could be season defining. Playing Hull, Barcelona and Manchester United in the space of eight days in three […]
Wenger’s Surprise selection pays off – Arsenal and Ox back in the game!
Courtesy of Shoot Magazine for whom I write a 2 weekly column I was fortunate enough to be at the match as their reporter so I will be stepping in for Alex our usual match reviewer as he is on holiday. There was some surprise when the team news showed Gabriel retaining his place alongside […]
Cech says ‘There are plenty of points to play for’ and he is Spot On – COYG
I had a bad feeling about the Chelsea game but I still put on a brave face to watch it. We’ve become a joke against those rotten Blues, season after season and game after game. There is no way that we should have lost that game even after the state of our midfield being what […]
Wenger must find a role for Ramsey’s attributes soon or selling might be for the Greater Good?
It has been a rather depressing few days in the life of Arsenal fans after yet another sickening blow inflicted by the arch nemesis that is Chelsea. Despite the fact the red card we were dealt this time to Per Mertesacker being the correct decision, the sour taste left in the mouths of the Gunner […]
