Alan Alger – The Day I Scored The Last Ever Goal At Highbury… It was the 8th of June 2006 – one month and one day after Thierry Henry’s hat-trick had seen off Wigan as the fans said farewell to our iconic home. I was back at the ‘Home of Football’ to play in a […]
For me these were wonderful memories generated by Graham Perry in this piece remembering Joe Mercer. However he was using Joe for an analogy to defend Arsene Wenger. But those were different times. The fans wore flat caps at all the grounds and the players earned wages not all that more than them. We all […]
“I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain, I kind of wondered where that British involvement actually was when I looked at their team. It’s important that top clubs don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s the English Premier League and English players should be involved.” This infamous quote from […]
On the eve of post deadline day hysteria I started on a piece about our striking options without bringing anyone in. The gist of it being is that, for the team to progress, Welbeck would be our best option at ‘nine’ given his physical attributes and, compared to Ollie and Theo, he has a greater […]
Okay so some might have qualms with my choice of word used to describe the increase in the number of Arsenal trolls around but hey, they are as dangerous as the word it’s normally used to describe; Nuclear Weapons.

Important note: I have written this article back in May and opted not to publish it then. The reason for this was because at the last possible minute I found out the manner in which Flamini left Arsenal in 2008 – by allowing his contract to run out and seeking pastures new and more glorious […]
No Jack, Rambo or Giroud? My ideal starting 11 for 2015/16 Think I can speak for the general population of Arsenal fans that I am genuinely optimistic about the team going in to the 2015/16 season. The squad is the finest it’s arguably been in my lifetime – not even the Invincible’s had the quality […]
“We are not going to challenge unless we buy a DM and that world-class striker. Giroud is not good enough to win us the league, while we are one injury away from using Arteta whose legs have gone”. Apparently Arteta’s legs have left Colney in Diaby’s pockets on his way out, but I’m not here […]
Well it seems Top 10s are the theme of this week on Gunners Town. They are always a very entertaining exercise and not wishing to miss out of the fun here is my contribution Previous posts on this site by guests or fellow writers brought back a lot of memories – both good and bad […]
