The Quarterback, the Fulcrum – From Necessity due to Injury to Necessity Due to Ability – PFA Team of the Year??
With Burnley put to the sword, The Arsenal are the form side in the EPL. They have secured 8 victories on the bounce & amassed 39 points from a possible 45 post Christmas. Not too bad really, considering The Arsenal were quoted as the outsiders for the top 4 by pretty much every pundit in […]
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 […]
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 […]
Has Wenger’s new kind of tactical flexibility made Arsenal unpredictable and dangerous?
Purely in terms of results, this has actually been a good week. It doesn’t feel like it for obvious reasons, but a 3-0 win and a 2-0 win are good results, not only because of the victories, but the nature of them too. We played very well in both games and rarely looked troubled at […]
Arsenal wasted 16 minutes hoping for a ‘Miracle in Monte Carlo’ rather than creating one!
Yes, we played well in Monaco. Yes, we could have scored at least one more goal. Yes, we showed character and desire. Yes, we gave the qualification away in the home leg. Yes, we fell short. The win in Monaco is very difficult to take, especially when you see the authority, command and […]
Exclusively Revealed – What Fergie said to Van Gaal about Coquelin.
Who is this Francis Coquelin they speak of? A friend of my cousin’s dog sitter’s milkman used to drink with the ex-postboy in Miers Porgan’s office at The Spews of the World. He was clearing out the ex-owners desk & found a laptop still connected to the internet & bizarrely it was still recording […]
Will Arsenal Skipper Arteta walk back in the team or do we have another Vermaelen?
Arsene Wenger announced in his pre match press conference that captain Mikel Arteta was back in training with the team and is due back to full fitness in three weeks. The Spaniard has been out with calf and ankle injuries since he went off in the Champions League win at home to Borussia Dortmund in […]
Coquelin should play alongside a DM rather than be the DM next season?
I’m the kind of writer who ‘jumps’ into conclusion, probably due to the desire to deliver and share my thoughts, while an observation is still fresh and there to be picked on. This perhaps hastily drives me to inferences that sometimes need polishing ‘here and there’. But make no mistake, I ultimately get the job […]
