Arséne made several changes to the team that won at Turf Moor last week. Szczesny for Ospina I understand. I don’t agree with it, but I understand. He likes to have a different cup keeper for some reason so this was no surprise. After that the changes ranged from slightly baffling to downright incomprehensible. We’ll […]
Funny thing life is. Had someone told me a year ago we’ll have a right-back dilemma I would have laughed. At the time we had Sagna as our only recognised full-back. He had a pretty good season along with Koscielny, Mertesacker and Gibbs and, despite some sound thrashings, Arsenal’s defensive record was one of the […]
TBIF – The Weekly Gunners Town Crew Review Friday The 10th April, 2015 Welcome to Thank Bergkamp It’s Friday – where members of the Gunners Town writing team gather to take a look at the Arsenal week that’s just passed. It’s a simple format, really – each week, a smattering of our eclectic scribes will select a HERO, a VILLAIN, a HIGHLIGHT, and a LOWLIGHT from […]
Actual football returns as we take on Liverpool at the Emirates in what is probably the most important game during the run-in. Win, and we open a nine-point gap on the Mugmashers and maintain at least a seven-point one on Spurs and Southampton. However, Liverpool is a dangerous team to play right now, exactly because […]
Gunners Town is delighted to be one of the few sites to whom Arsenal Football Club sends exclusive promotional material (and the occasional invite to launches/screenings/book signings etc). It’s one of the perks of maintaining a daily presence, blogging about the Goonerverse, I suppose! We’re looking forward to the day that we get sent transfer scoops – […]
After the loss to Tottenham with no chance of a response again this season, I will honestly admit I’m enraged! It means that we have failed to beat them this year that is always damaging to our pride as the far superior club. It’s hard to pinpoint where we went wrong but being the world […]
Captain’s Log, star-date 1,0,7,9 point 12. We’re interrupting our 5-year mission to head back to Earth for the North London derby. Exploring the final frontier can wait. Aston Villa Watching the game at the weekend I couldn’t help but think that this is the worst Villa side I’ve seen since David O’Leary was in charge. […]
When I saw the team sheet today, I was actually a lot less concerned pre-match than I have been mostly this season. The team had very good balance to it and all the players put a good shift in, although that should be a given. As embarrassing as the antics at the Stoke railway station […]
Reasons to be hopeful? Let’s be realistic, (not that we weren’t anyway). 4th place has been the realistic aim since last month. Swansea away was always going to be a tough game, but it was a game that we needed to win and should have won. It was another clusterfuck, and we really needed those […]
