It’s amazing to think that, despite the atrocious season we are having, some saving grace is still possible. Yet, going into today’s game, it’s exactly where we are. While the Europa League as a possible scalp for Arsene Wenger’s side remains a remote possibility for now, the League Cup final can provide some balm for […]
The Emirates, where defenders come to die? Rob Holding, was signed up from Bolton And for 3mil he didn’t cost a bomb His early games, in centre back he slotted And he left the cup final with Costa in his pocket But since then his ability it has waned The quality he showed, hasn’t been […]
I’m not the usual match previewer here on Gunners Town – but I thought I’d give it a bash. How hard can it be? First, a little background on tonight’s opponents… Background “Östersund” means ‘wheelbarrow’ in Swedish, and it’s quite appropriate, since the entire population could fit in a wheelbarrow. A very big wheelbarrow. Not […]
The trip to the south coast in on the cards for the Gunners and it presents Arsene Wenger’s men with a chance to finally win a league game and somewhat improve their away record in the process. Last year’s game was absolute bonkers. Eddie Howe’s men expertly capitalized on our slow start and susceptibility to […]
Antonio Conte’s men visit the Emirates today, and somehow I feel even less optimistic about our chances to come out on top than before the Liverpool game. In part this feeling is down to the turgid performance we produced at the Hawthorns, in part because our growing injury list restricts Wenger’s options. Also, there’s that […]
So, the year is almost ending. But then how has it been for us? This is my view: The Good I cannot ignore the FA Cup win. A certain club got second place for the first time in decades, but that’s not a trophy, is it? We were underdogs vs. Chelsea, but then we bossed […]
We’re now at the halfway stage of the league campaign and already we trail the leaders by twenty one points. Bizarrely, the mentality of some Arsenal supporters or perhaps I should say Arsene supporters, has been to focus on us being just a solitary point behind fourth place and discuss it in a way that […]
Well, that was a bit better, wasn’t it? The Gunners, back on home turf, finally managed to get their hands on three points, despite a somewhat underwhelming performance. In the end a moment of sheer brilliance from Mesut Ozil separated the two sides, however that doesn’t mean the game was devoid of other interesting bits […]
Saturday’s victory over Spurs has helped re-instill optimism in many Arsenal fans. The meaningful commitment to width, the dominance by our wingbacks on the flanks, and coordinated team pressing were a few of the many areas we were proficient in. For me however, it was the direct nature of our play and the variety in […]
Man City vs. Arsenal Preview Etihad Stadium, Sunday 5th November 2017 It’s Pep at the Etihad, and the pretender to our Invincibles throne. Can we kill their claim to this throne? Can we really? Who knows? City have been superlative this season. Yes, they were at the start of last season. But then this is […]
