There has been a report lately that Hector Bellerin, the club’s Spanish full-back with the London accent, has asked to leave the club. “Heccy B”, as he’s known in some quarters online, could well leave whilst being one of our longest-serving players. Bellerin emerged in the 14/15 season, following an injury to Mattieu Debuchy, […]
Jack (Frost)…no “cold” shoulder, but is it time? It was the summer solstice a few days ago, which is the longest day of the year. It’s the period of most sunlight, and the greatest exposure the Earth has to the Sun in orbit. Because it was the longest day, the title reminded me of the […]
It all started way back when, way back when Gary Lewin decided to up sticks and head for the bright lights of St Georges Park and Team England. On his way out of the door he shouted back to Arsene, “I know a guy, he’ll see you right. I’ll call you from the car” Bemused, […]
Well, that didn’t quite work out as expected, did it? More dropped points against opposition we shouldn’t be dropping points against, 3 new injuries to vital players and a no-wins November.

Well it seems Top 10s are the theme of this week on Gunners Town. They are always a very entertaining exercise and not wishing to miss out of the fun here is my contribution Previous posts on this site by guests or fellow writers brought back a lot of memories – both good and bad […]
‘If you are good enough you are old enough’ The above question has been at the back of my mind for a while. In reality it has been in my thoughts since the emergence of Coquelin so magnificently in 2015. Why? Because the likelihood of Wenger signing Schneiderlin or a similar player, as a result, […]
Arsene in fact said, “I have a little cock n’ bull story to tell you, about transfers”, but never mind, he kind of said it… right? Ah yes, that time of year again, when every word is twisted to make a story of transfer related bullshit. (I think I may have used this before, but […]
