With the arrival of Italian manager Antonio Conte in South-West London combined with the mainstay of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, the London derby will certainly take a turn for the better as the two established managers will look to earn bragging rights following their first encounter on Saturday. The two rivals have enjoyed near-identical introductions […]
With the season only a few weeks away and Arsenal currently without a club captain, who will Wenger give the job to for the 2016/17 season? After the departure of Captain Mikel Arteta, Wenger will need to look to someone with good leadership qualities and someone who is vocal on the pitch. The three likeliest […]
*not an ode, I’m not much of a poet Note: this piece was written before Arsenal took on West Brom When Theo Walcott limped off against Sheffield Wednesday, a collective gasp escaped the lips of Gooners all over the globe: the injury meant we were left with one fit striker. A situation all-too-familiar for Arsenal […]
So, it’s a North London derby in the first round of the Capitol One Cup to keep us entertained. For the last couple of years we have persistently been getting rather tough opponents in the opening rounds of both cups: Southampton last year and Chelsea before that in CoC, Hull and Spurs in FA Cup. All […]
Penny for your thoughts? Whatever anyone says about Mike Dean, both reds were reds. Angel Gabriel shouldn’t have let Costa get under his skin and he should have been cleverer about his retribution (talk to Keown) and not undertaken a minor Beckham in front of the ref 2 seconds after getting a yellow. As for Santi’s, […]
Another brilliant post from Gunners Town guest writer @petitsponytail. Be sure to follow him on Twitter… — World class striker? You’re having a laugh Every day since this Godforsaken painstaking transfer window opened all I’ve seen is people calling for this mythical world class striker. It’s quite simple, my fellow Gooners – there’re only six […]
“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 […]
Tis the season. The part of the year where everyone is demanding. Everyone wants the best, and they want it NOW! It’s quite apt that the transfer window opens just after the Christmas period. Just like with the sales shopping, what escalates is pandemonium as customers scramble to snatch quality of mediocrity at an over […]
Week Twenty Two – Do it for Theo! Transfer Window Week Two Buzzwords: Release Clause (RC), Julian Draxler, Diego Costa, Alvaro Morata, Stop-Gap We play Aston Villa away tonight, the reverse of our opening fixture of the season. Thinking back to how we all felt after that game, it is amazing now to think that […]
Forget the prayers! We need a rallying call… Step forward a Manninger! Priest – “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the passing of the 2013/14 season for Arsenal Football club…..” Dan Dan the Arsenal fan – “Whoa, whoa, whoa, just hold onto your trunks there Padre… what do you mean? The passing, […]
