We’re not allowed to lose one single game, are we? In the exact moment Kevin Friend blew his whistle to sanction a very surprising and unwelcome home defeat against Swansea, the Arsenal world started to crumble. I’m not saying our defeat didn’t really bother me, I reassure you: I am such a sore loser and […]

Thierry, do the Arsenal really need an entirely new spine?
Do you remember my blog from last week? I said Thierry Henry was right in his criticism of Olivier Giroud, I said I agreed with him about us not being able to win the title with (only) Olivier Giroud upfront. I didn’t change my mind since, however I’d like to point out that anything else […]
Arsenal’s Midfield – “It was quite splendid, magnificent, brilliant, thrilling and scintillating”.
What a lovely day it is. Yesterday we’ve: a) secured a 20th consecutive St. Totteringham’s Day (GT Special tribute here) b) secured Champions League football c) overcame one of the hardest hurdles during our run-in (beat away a team fighting to stay up) d) played some magnificent football e) finally, increased the gap on United […]
This is how Arsenal will beat Chelsea – Turn their ‘Strength into their Weakness.’
The thought barely leaves me to be honest. How to Beat Chelsea As Arsenal exit a decade of self imposed austerity for me it’s always been about dispatching Liverpool and focussing on Chelsea. Ever since Roman arrived we have had to react to them. They manipulated the transfer market to suit their own affluence knowing […]
Ramsey to miss out in best midfield balance to beat Chelsea
I’m pretty sure that Andrea’s blog from yesterday about who will cover Chelsea’s main danger man and attacking threat Eden Hazard, due to the absence of Diego Costa, Drogba and Remy, was pretty much spot-on (I’d go with Debuchy at right-back and Cazorla at right midfield with the personnel available but Debuchy with Oxlade-Chamberlain would […]

8 on the bounce for The Arsenal as Coquelin shines but Bellerin “hits his wall”
Well, that was tough, much tougher than I expected. We took the points for the eighth consecutive game without really being troubled after we scored, but found chances hard to come by to double the lead. You can see why Burnley drew with Chelsea and United and took all three points against City at Turf […]
With 23 fit to face LFC who makes your 11 and which 5 not even on the bench? #Squaddepth
The good news came in yesterday: Mathieu Débuchy, Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are all ready to battle for a place in the squad that will face Liverpool on Saturday. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ready to follow in their footsteps next week already, players are going to take internal competition to the next level: making at least […]
Time to CECH out the ‘Battle to be Arsenal’s Number 1
It’s fair to say the goalkeeping situation is unstable right now. Just as it seemed Wojciech Szczesny established himself as a proper number 1 during the run-in in 2012-2013 season (even Ospina admitted he was initially brought in as back-up,) an atrocious start of 2014-2015 campaign, discipline issues and a particularly feeble performance from the […]
Goon v Toon -Time to put a below strength Newcastle to the sword and retain momentum
Hello everyone this is my first article of many I hope from Russia for Gunners Town and you can read my bio at the end! – Alex My, the last couple of days dragged by painfully slowly. I suspect it’s as much to do with us playing on Tuesday as with all the subsequent […]
