I agree with Dave`s analysis of the Watford match. In contrast, against Everton, I regretfully strongly disagreed with Marble Halls preview and particularly his selection for the game as he suggested Guendouzi and Elneny should play. I suppose that is why Football is such a fertile ground for diverse opinions. Surely the performance and the […]
‘Balance, Belief, Better…… Buzzing!’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Balance Squad balance and in-game balance doesn’t come quickly and we are impatient. Have you noticed that it may well have arrived? Amongst the litany of change on and off the field it has been lost that Arsenal have a very balanced squad, age wise. I looked […]
This fixture inevitably brings up comparisons of yesteryear, when Wenger was in his peak, and Sir Alex Ferguson was in his pomp. This was arguably the greatest title rivalry in Premier League history – bigger than United/Blackburn, United/Newcastle, or United/Chelsea, or United/City. Both us and United have similar values, attitudes, and history of success (albeit […]
The Herbert Chapman derby, as it were, ended in an Arsenal win. The game perhaps wasn’t the best, but I’m sure Mr Chapman is looking down and happy to see both of his prodigy performing in the top division. His Yorkshire former club is certainly going down this season – though on this showing they […]
Our supposed bad record at the St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton is continuing, since we lost this game 3-2. The new Southampton manager, Ralph Hassenhutl, managed to get the win here, and in his first home game. As for us, it was in essence more of the same. We played well in parts, but weak […]
O Captain, My Captain Unai named his ‘Captains’ yesterday and to be fair, the names did not come as a surprise. “The captain of this group is Laurent Koscielny, who is injured at the moment. After Laurent, our other captains are Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.” […]
This may seem like an odd discussion point. But then how many goals should we concede? In 17/18, only City, and Liverpool scored more goals than we did. We scored as many as our good friends from the Borough of Haringey. But our goals against tally was poor, especially vis a vis the top six. […]
I think it would be fair to say that most Gunners like what they have seen so far, of Emery’s 5th summer signing from Lorient. Therefore, Gunners Town thought we should get the low down on the young midfielder from the guys behind the French club’s Twitter News and Fan account @ASMerlus GT– On the […]
Arsenal vs. Burnley preview So it’s Arsene’s last home game at Arsenal. There will be a party atmosphere, but then this will be a preview as much as it is a celebration of his tenure. As for the game, it’s pretty much the sixth-place play-off final. Burnley, whilst a “small club”, can finish above […]
GT It wasn’t the best of performances in Moscow, but Arsenal survived a Moscow onslaught to reach the Europa League semi-finals thanks to goals from Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey, here are some player ratings from Moscow. Petr Cech- 5, Cech was arguably at fault for both of their goals, pushing it straight to […]
