The Journey and the Scoreboard POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES In a strange kind of way I was interested to see Benfica yesterday. I’ve researched many of their players for my transfer blogs but we don’t much get to see the Portuguese league and we all know that there are frequent gems sold from this league. […]
Almost directly on the back of losing our first league game at home since December, fans vented their frustrations far and wide on the glaring lack of quality and creativity in the final third. For me it was the worst performance under Arteta by a long stretch in a game that sent shivering reminders of […]
Episode 27 Pub Review: Leicester 0-2 Arsenal Carabao Cup – 23/9/20 Join Gav, Charlie, Alex and Paul in the Gunners Town virtual pub, as they analyze Arsenal’s scrappy win over Leicester to see them progress to the next round of the Carabao Cup. Two uglier goals you probably won’t find – but a win is […]
Episode 26 “No Fizz. No Bang.No Snap, Crackle or Pop.” Dave is joined by Mike, Paul and pod-newcomer Kaya in the all-Gunners-Town writer post-match virtual pub, to unravel what was a curiously disappointing performance by Arsenal against the Hammers. Arteta picked Ceballos and Saka to help break down an expected low-block – but it’s fair […]
A game of no risk POSITIVES, NEEDS and RIP-OFF LEADS You’ve had time to breathe. I haven’t. I write this pretty raw after a game I did not see coming. I predicted 5-0 and actually felt pretty sure of myself. Arsenal had many layers of momentum and West Ham had the opposite of momentum, […]
The HUGE small detail Houssem Aouar may never sign for Arsenal. If he doesn’t don’t chuck this post in the bin because there’ll be another that this speaks to. When signing a player the very first step is identifying the needs of the team. If I had that job this would be my list […]
Episode 16 “Get Out Of Jail Free (Bronze Edition)” Dave, Charlie and Paul discuss the Aubameyang contract saga, Dani Ceballos’ loan renewal, the players we’re prepared to sell and those we’d rather keep (there aren’t that many of them!) They then turn their attention to Saturday’s Cup Final – possible formations and tactics, predictions, and […]
Can we sign Trust? I don’t trust Arsenal. I don’t think I have for over 10 years. My son and I get comfortable and excited on the couch. Out Arsenal run. My son looks at me. He does it every game. It’s a mix of fear and adrenaline I see in his face. He’s only […]
Vital Statistics from Arsenal 1-1 Leicester City Premier League • Matchday 35 • 12th July 2020 A bitterly disappointing result that included far too many individual errors at both ends of the pitch, defeat to them will never be easy but it hurts even more when they are a really poor side and we ourselves […]
It’s the game every Arsenal fan looks forward to. Fiery, controversy, passion and hatred are words I’d associate with the NLD. Add Mourinho into the mix and it’s spiced things up to a whole new level. Right now I’m confident but I guarantee you that come Sunday morning, anxiety will creep in. Spurs: Set […]
