I look forward to watching Mikel Arteta’s press conferences. Not just because he’s the Arsenal manager and my interest in Arsenal and our games, although obviously that’s the primary reason I even bother tuning in (I’m not sat at home watching every Pep Guardiola Man City press scrum). Not just for Arteta’s salacious transfer tittle-tattle […]
Gunners Town is pleased to feature this guest post by Zach Lowy (@zachlowy) a freelance journalist who writes for various outlets such as Fotmob, RG News and more. —— In July 2019, Manchester City appointed Nicolas Jover as an assistant coach to Pep Guardiola. Having previously spent time as a video analyst for Montpellier, a […]
What is Arteta’s legacy if Arsenal win the Premier League? With just two games left, North London big boys Arsenal are the closest they have been to winning the English Premier League since the 2003/2004 season when they won it. The Gunners have been disappointing in continental football, but they have compensated for that with […]
Arsenal need strikers. It’s not rocket science. Both Manchester City and Liverpool comfortably surpassed 90 goals over a 38-game Premier League season. Meanwhile, in north London, the Gunners merely scraped over the 60-goal mark, a substantial difference when compared to the elite. To suggest Arsenal can increase their tally by an additional third is unrealistic, […]
Arteta’s conventional 3-4-3 vs the hybrid 3-4-3 Guardiola, Klopp, Rodgers, Solskjaer, Bielsa and now Tuchel; a list of impressive managers who have come up short against Arteta. Whilst it’s been a horrendous season for the Spaniard, he once again showed his capabilities in setting a team up accordingly to nullify one of the top teams […]
Episode 11 “Beating Champions” Dave, Mike and Woz discuss how Arsenal managed to beat Liverpool in the Premier League earlier this week, and what they need to do to beat the reigning FA Cup Champions, Manchester City, at Wembley on Saturday. Another bite-sized chunk of Arsenalness delivered fresh to your cranium. Tune in and see […]
The Sun will Shine when the Habits change Better players will certainly help. A balanced team is imperative. We as fans could always offer more patience. Regardless of all that though, Arsenal have had the habit of self implosion for a long time. That game was certainly swinging City’s way as it approached half time. […]
Man City 3-0 Arsenal Premier League • Etihad Stadium • June 17th, 2020 We got gunned down at Man City – and let’s be frank it’s what was coming to us. They’re a better side with better players. Kevin de Bruyne proved his world-class status with a man of the match performance. And […]
Back in January before the world boarded this awful coronacoaster, I proposed that Arsenal would need 64 points to qualify for a 4th place Champions League spot. At that stage, we were in 10th, with 27 points, having played 21 games. Liverpool were unbeaten, with 58 points, Leicester behind them with 45 points and […]
It’s only a few days before we kick off vs. Man City. And Guardiola and his former assistant Arteta will face off to boot. Let’s not forget that both Pep and Arteta had varying experiences during the pandemic/lockdown. Pep sadly lost his mother, and Mikel had the actual virus. We could also meet in the […]
