World Exclusive: Latest News of the World phone tapping tape TheSundayMorningGooner has been passed a world exclusive. The final phone tap undertaken by the News of the World was passed to me under the table in The London Hotel, Balmain by Geezer down the pub, my reliable supplier…… of information.

A belated Happy St Patrick’s Day! While the majority of the country were making their way to work yesterday morning in a miniature state of depression, with the knowledge that the sunny weekend has come to an end and the reality of returning to plugging away for another five days beckons, the mood among Arsenal […]
Good afternoon Gooners. Well, the European adventure is over then for another year, although, unlike Spurs, Arsenal won’t be scrabbling around for old copies of The Sun to get their ‘Go to France for a Tenner’ vouchers in order to get back over there… The dragging saga that is Arsene Wenger’s future is still going […]
Bayern Munich came crashing down on Arsenal for the second time in as many seasons, as the Germans won 3-1 on aggregate. Arsenal had lost the home leg by a 2-0 and were not able to not battle back to win against a very strong Bayern side, who were not at their best. The win […]

Jesus, what a difference a week makes eh?! This time last week it was all doom and gloom after losing at Stoke and seemingly watching our Premier League title hopes hang by a thread.

Hello and welcome back to my Gunners Town blog. Don’t adjust the date on your phones, it is a Thursday, and it is the work of me (Matt Cotton) appearing before your very eyes. You see, I’m kind of the Mathieu Flamini of the Gunners Town team; not particularly attractive, but willing to fill in […]
Hello fellow Gooners. Once again, I’ve decided to talk about my favourite Arsenal books. For years now (nearly a decade I must say), I’ve read a lot about this club, I’ve usually found them quality, but sometimes disappointment. However, each time, my love and passion for this club grew a bit further. With an international […]
What is this Stoke you speak with Billy no mates?! Friday 28th February 2014 Mesut Ozil and Per Mertesacker are warming down from training. “Per, what is this Stoke everyone is talking about?” asks Mesut, innocently.”It is somewhere new for me and I was thinking of taking meine Frau with me and making a weekend […]
