The unarguably perceptible fact that Arsene is a smart man cannot be over-emphasized. He has arranged a side with almost a perfect balance of home grown and foreign influx. He also knew a summer like this will arrive, where the need for ‘local lads’ will drive clubs to negotiate desperately. With that in mind, he […]

Super Jack should stay and fight for his Arsenal place and then the captaincy
The season is weeks away but there’s still plenty going on in the world of Arsenal. The stories that I’ve found the most interesting have centred around Jack Wilshere. Not just the question of his best position, but also whether he’ll be an Arsenal player next season. A lot has already been written about whether […]
Is it possible Krystian Bielik will be our cover for Le Coq in the coming season?
‘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, […]
Wenger has to decide ‘who plays where?’ Certainly right wing & beside Le Coq, before making signings
I’m not going to talk about transfers, please revert to the very needed and classy Media Watch section on Arsenal’s website for that. Don’t be misled by the title then, the whole point of this blog is trying to understand how Arsène Wenger sees the Arsenal going into next season. We were all happy with […]
Time for fans to stop judging Transfer Targets and players solely on Stats without context
Today’s piece will follow a theme I used for a piece on Coquelin on my personal blog a few months ago. It is also, somewhat, an extension to the line of thought I advocated recently in a piece on dealing with the media and pundits. Don’t worry, this won’t be philosophical! This pertains to how […]
“I said last year that Arsene Wenger wasn’t top class – I was wrong Wenger is TOP CLASS!”
In November of last year I wrote a blog which the editors here at Gunners Town titled ‘Arsene Wenger is not top class anymore’, which was as accurate a reflection of the piece as you could get. It wasn’t a reactionary rant about another painful loss, (it was after we blew 3 goal lead to […]
Now THAT Is How You Play A Cup Final! – The complete team performance
Arsenal were brilliant yesterday, smashing Aston Villa 4-0 at Wembley in the F.A. Cup Final. Arsenal are now the 4th team in the history of the F.A. Cup to successfully defend the trophy, an outstanding achievement. Of course we have done it twice. This was also a totally different match to last year’s final vs. […]
FA Cup Final Media Day – Gunners Town Reports from Colney and Wenger Press Conference
DB’s Season Diary Special – FA Cup Final Media Day Like waiting for a bus ain’t it? You wait ages for a blog from me and then two come along in the same week. I’m just trying to pass the time, the same as you. Trying to keep my mind off of the cup final, […]
Rosicky to celebrate staying by starting v West Brom
“We want to finish on a high at the Emirates and we want our fans to go home happy, full of hope for next season. We have fought very hard to directly qualify for the Champions League and we want to get over the line and finish the job, which we couldn’t do on Wednesday […]
If only CFC expired as much energy in dealing with accusations of Racism as they have with being Boring and Hull v Arsenal Preview
Team news At this point in time there’s not much to dissect in terms of team news. We didn’t sustain any fresh injures against Chelsea. Our only absentee will be Mathieu Debuchy, who has a bit of hamstring problem, poor fella. On the upside, Arteta and Oxlade may return soon if not for our visit […]
