I asked a few of the Gunners Town writers to give me their Top 6 predictions for the Premier League season 18/19. Obviously the transfer window is still open and things could change – but the one thing about the Premier League is that things are ALWAYS changing:. injuries, meltdowns, surprise losses… It’s a rollercoaster […]
The Spectacular Unspectacular POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Fans need hope but boy, oh boy has society done a number on our levels of patience. Yesterday, was a spectacular display of seriousness. Flicking through Twitter I have started to only pay attention to those who don’t have extreme views. “We are awful”, “So and so is […]
Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea – Premier League Review After the West Ham defeat, we made the Sarri’s side (and himself!) pretty blue. This was a performance of intensity, pressure, pressing, and clinical finishing, and against another top-six side to boot. As a must-win game for our top four hopes, we did win, and how, based on […]
Looking at their recent performances, it won’t be wrong to say that Arsenal are going through a tough time. But it doesn’t mean we won’t support our team, right? That’s what true fans do. Stand up and cheer for the team. We’re looking forward to seeing Arsenal get back on track as we list the […]
Does Mesut Ozil do it in the big games? Mesut Ozil, our once record signing, is a divisive figure amongst us fans. Nobody, really, questions his innate quality. In raw technical terms, only perhaps Dennis Bergkamp or Santi Cazorla can surpass him. However, he is not as consistent as he could be, and in […]
I hate losing and I’m disappointed by every defeat that Arsenal suffers. However, I wasn’t angry or surprised by our defeat against the current league champions, Manchester City, in our opening game. They are a class above us and everyone else domestically. In saying that, like many others, I expect Liverpool to get much closer […]
While it’s never pleasant to witness your team lose any game of football, let alone several on the trot, I find it extremely hard to get bent out of shape this morning. Context is king here, of course. Had we lost the two opening fixtures under Arsene Wenger, people would have been out in force […]
Arsenal 1 (6) – 1 (5) Chelsea International Champions Cup Dublin · August 1, 2018 So: high press vs high press. Both teams used all 120 yards too. Generally, similar playing styles so very interesting match up! FORMATION Attacking 4-2-3-1 (best I could tell) Defensively 4-4-1-1 POSITIVES Got out of Chelsea press often. Kolasinac […]
At present, we are lying 6th in the Premier League table with 45 points, 8 points behind Chelsea and 12 points behind Tottenham in 4th. We are a remarkable 30 points behind league leaders Manchester City, who put us to the sword for the second time in a week at the Emirates last night, having […]
So after the more than disappointing North London Derby a lot of the media have been using Lacazette as a scapegoat. Lacazette’s recent performances have doubtlessly been very short of his best but is this criticism fair? After Giroud’s performance for Chelsea on Monday night I’m sure a lot of Arsenal fans will be kicking […]
