I’m going back to the 1980’s for this weeks Highbury Hero. When David Dein first clapped eyes on this player he said l’ve seen a young player who plays like a Brazilian. Next May will be a quarter of a Century since he last kicked a ball for The Arsenal. Yet the Arsenal fans still […]
I had a conversation on Twitter yesterday about what constitutes a legend in Arsenal terms and in the conversation the possibility of the next Gunner great to be cast in bronze at the Emirates was raised. It brought to mind a blog I wrote in February 2013 for my old site. It was written around […]
Part one -The first 10 years…. 20 years? 20 years since the unknown French manager walked through the door and who would have thought he would still be manager to this day. Wenger arrived at Highbury in October 1996 and Arsenal fans didn’t have a clue who he was. Wenger had a lot to prove […]

Gunners Town Exclusive Memorabilia Competition 179 – Just Done It In September it will be 25 years since Ian Wright signed for Arsenal, a couple of months shy of his 28th birthday. (To call him a late bloomer would be an understatement: he was almost 22 when he signed his first professional contract for Crystal Palace.) […]
2015/2016 – A Season that Ended so Familiarly Before it Began In the end you do not buy to give one hope, you want to buy because the players who come in can help your squad to be stronger. Buying and selling is one way to strengthen your team, but that is not the only way. […]
The Golden Age Of Arsenal PART TWO by Gary Lawrence In the 2nd part of this piece, (If you missed Part 1 and want to read that first click here) I’ve written about the players. Unfortunately there isn’t room to include them all, or to write in very much detail about the magnificent seven I’ve […]
I often post the GT blogs in Arsenal Fan Groups on Facebook and they often prove popular and frequently cause some debate. Nowhere is the debate stronger and more lively than in the Arsenal Away Boyz Group. Alex Field is one of the most active group members and today Alex sent me a response to […]
I struggled to think this week. Arsenal news and events were limited by an International break, and with the transfer window closed, gossip has been temporarily restrained as well. It is currently Thursday evening, and up until this point I have failed to think of a sensible topic to address in this column, so have […]
Arsenal fans are missing the point over striker crisis – blaming Giroud achieves nothing. The outcry over Arsenal’s attacking prowess this week has been so demonstrably ill-proportioned that I can’t quite believe it has happened. Wave after wave of unreasonable attacks unleashed upon Olivier Giroud have left a sour taste in the mouth of everybody […]
