FC Koln 1-0 Arsenal Well that was interesting. The play overall wasn’t that bad, but we looked poor in the final third. The team sheet was also…interesting. With Chambers being a wing-back. Seriously? Wenger has to be commended for looking to empower his players this way. But then to be fair, he didn’t have that […]
This article was a comment on this morning’s piece on Arsenal trying a 352 with a partner for Lacazette. Dave suggested Giroud or Welbeck but an old Gunners Town writer got in touch suggesting an interesting alternative. I agree with pretty much all about the formation and midfield, but ideally we would keep Ozil who could still […]
The debate on Arsenal’s contract rebels will rumble on and as long as it does it will only exacerbate the division of opinions on Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez. Neither performed at anywhere near the levels we know they are capable of last time out at the Eithad. The venue for their understated (being polite) […]

Crvena Zevzda 0-1 Arsenal Europa League Group Stage Red De-Starred Belgrade….. A comfortable win for Arsenal. Despite immense differences in resources, global scope, fanbase, and finances, Crvena Zvezda has won the European Cup, and Arsenal never has. So we should give them some due respect, despite their comparative “lowly” footing. However, Arsenal looked […]
There is much to be positive about as an Arsenal fan. After a tricky start to the campaign the team are winning consistently, if not flamboyantly and certain individuals have been key to that. However the two players who have not been integral to the turnaround are still the two players being most discussed in […]
Will the real Aaron Ramsey show himself? Ireland’s victory in Cardiff means that Aaron Ramsey will not have the opportunity to showcase his talents to the watching world in Russia in 2018 as he did so wonderfully in France in Euro 2016. Though watching the Arsenal FA Cup hero huff and puff against a well […]
