There has been a lot of discussion amongst supporters recently, regarding the proposed ‘Wenger out’ protest, due to take place prior to our home game against Bayern Munich. A protest that has sparked a combination of disapproval, anger and typically, abuse being aimed in the direction of those responsible for organising it and planning to […]

Ozil out left in a 433 versus Bayern Tonight as Wenger opts for solidity?
Our annual trip to Munich is coming to a head today, with yet another showdown against the Bavarian giants on the cards. Undoubtedly we are the underdogs once again. Because of our far-from-stellar form, because of the general lack of belief in our ability to get a result, and obviously because Bayern are just a […]
The Evening the Arsenal Grew Up in Europe – Defensive masterclass and counter attack!
“If I have learned anything during these past few weeks, it’s that we can adapt to opponents. We can hit them from the off like a hurricane (the normal one, not that overgrown Draco Malfoy version), we can play sterile possession to tire them out, or we can just set up two banks of four […]
Its all or nothing – Give Bayern an Arsenal Blitzkrieg
Last year, when changes to the seeding system were announced, Arsenal fans were both outraged and excited. Outraged because the new system meant only champions would be seeded in the first pot. Our chances at becoming champions last year at that stage looked, let’s put it mildly, slim. However, the fans were also excited to […]
The Gunners with a PLAN, yes honestly a PLAN, put Hornets to the sword – Watford 0-3 Arsenal:
Well, that was fun. Another good performance and another win by three goals. I think I can get used to this. Before the game, a lot was made of how tough a team Watford is on their home soil and you could see why: the Hornets started the game at a really good pace, were […]
Watford, Bayern and Lewandowski – A week to test Arsenal’s Credentials
Watford They haven’t had too many regular starters on international duty so they’ll be fresh for the challenges that we’ll present them with. Luckily for us, Mertesacker has retired from international football, while Gabriel, Monreal, Koscielny and (inexplicably) Coquelin were all left at home by Brazil, Spain and France respectively. That means that defensively at […]
Dinamo Zagreb preview: all about building up momentum
Well, this is awkward. A few times a season such a thing happens: we play a team I know nothing, or next to nothing, about. And yet I have to write a preview. In such cases I try to concentrate more on what we do and how we approach the game and this is exactly […]
Arsenal to assess on-loan starlet before spending in the summer transfer window; the need for momentum and FA Cup glory
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 […]
All but over? Mesut Ozil and woeful attacking costs Arsenal Champions League progression against rattled Bayern Munich
Crikey, where to start? After a thoroughly tense FA Cup win against Liverpool, during which, deep into the second half, I am sure my anus collapsed in on itself through sheer anxiety, Arsenal had to combat arguably the best football team of the 21st century. A Pep Guardiola-led Bayern Munich side who now threaten to […]
Bayern in to Nik Bentdner
Danish striker, Nicklas Bentdner has apparently played his final game for the club. But which European giants are said to be chasing his signature? WTTGT
