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 […]

Villa too easy but the real test of the New Arsenal is at the Lane tomorrow
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. […]
Is it Crazy to say this Arsenal squad could win the Premier League? Maybe Not!
“Arsenal don’t have any squad depth!” That must be the reason why today it’s virtually impossible to pick a starting XI without leaving out one or two excellent players. Mesut Özil and Theo Walcott made their comebacks recently, Aaron Ramsey did the same a bit earlier while, with perfect timing, Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and […]
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 […]
Arsenal golden boy Jack Wilshere should stop trying to be a big man, leave that for Abou Diaby or the new Patrick Vieira
It’s a question that has caused so many debates amongst Arsenal fans and this question more than any statistic drives our narrative to the non Arsenal world…. Can Arsenal win the “big” games? What does that mean. To me it means going to the North West and Chelsea away from home and winning. It’s about […]
Player hoarding – Why teams like Man City & Chelsea are killing careers
There are a lot of things to hate about Billionaire’s playthings Manchester City and Chelsea. A lot.That Chelsea were saved from bankruptcy (and almost certainly a subsequently enforced relegation into The Championship)when Roman Abramovich came in and pumped hundreds of millions of pounds into the West London side is one of them.Their team would have […]
The Return Of The Kaiser – Poldi Injects Some Venom
Happy Festivius Gooners, in a week when Arsenal faltered again in a match against a title rival – albeit this fixture was also a battle with appalling weather conditions and an another diabolical refereeing performance too – a game two days later away to Sam Allardyce’s struggling West Ham side could’ve been a real banana […]
Chelsea Draw Though Uninspiring Shows Resilience
Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho’s ten encounter may not have been a classic, but perhaps did show a changing in the tide. Mourinho has never lost to Wenger in their ten meetings during his two spells in charge of Chelsea having won five and now drawn five but last night’s tie proved just the second […]
Fernando, Frimpong and The CoC – Match Preview.
Wenger versus Mourinho, The Professor versus The Moaner; Arsenal versus Chelsea. It may only be the Capital One Cup as i’ve heard many say, but Arsenal vs Chelsea is always an entertaining, energetic fixture that we as fans love to watch. Mourinho stated in the week that he is upset about his fixture list being […]
Emmanuel Frimpong to start for Arsenal in the Capital One Cup, as Chelsea unable to call on Alan Hansen and Michael Owen
Having been in Budapest this time last week, I’m back and ready to throw at you some Gooner gibberish, after a rather life-expectancy shortening weekend. We shan’t go into details. Despite my antics, I still found enough time to dedicate to watching the Arsenal three times in just over the space of a week. While […]
