So, Arsenal are starting another season short-handed. The striker to help Giroud has not been found and AFC are still one centre-back short. Granit Xhaka was brought in immediately after last season ended to ensure season ticket renewals and I don’t think the Club had any concrete plan to fill up the gaps in the […]
So having helped build up Gunners Town from scratch in 2013 I am now going to be writing for it more often. A regular column here along with a bi-weekly Shoot feature will be my blogging homes for 2016/17. So amid all the ‘will he won’t he splash the cash’ and do what we all […]
The new campaign is nearly upon us and our pre season fixtures have been completed. A draw, followed by four successive victories, represents a positive summer in terms of the results but the question is, what have we learned from our five non competitive fixtures? From a personal perspective, I have learned nothing that I […]
I have not written an article since the end of season because: . I was too depressed to feel the need to. I was mourning another wasted opportunity to have won the championship Other people had already said most of what I would have done The same old mantras from AKB and WOB factions were […]
For The Gunners pre-season begins in earnest tonight in Lens. FC Lens are no longer the top side who battled Wenger’s great 1998 double winners in the Champion’s League.

There is understandably some frustration at present at the club’s inability to get the business done early in the window in the striking department. Gunners Town is worried but not that Wenger and the club will not sign a new striker as we are firmly of the belief that there will be a new addition […]
How to solve a problem like Higuain I saw a funny tweet the other day, it went something like this ‘’according to local reports, Gonzalo Higuain has undergone too many medical tests at Arsenal, and has now become a qualified doctor’’, I assure you that reading that as a tweet was a lot funnier than […]
We are nearly half way through the summer transfer window and Arsenal have still only made one major signing. For many Arsenal fans this is a frustrating time of year. We are usually linked with some top class players with proven goal-scoring records but never actually go in for them. But what we do […]
18th January, 2005: London, England The day had been a long time coming for Patrick Vieira. Being an Invincible had been too much of an achievement for his ultra competitive personality to accept. He needed a challenge to flourish, to establish himself as one of the all-time greats of world football. For that, he […]
And the best team at the Euros are… What a great Euros it has been for Arsenal players. What I will argue here is that Arsenal as a club have had the best performing players at the tournament as a whole. With Giroud scoring three goals and helping France get themselves to the final, surely […]
