In truth, the sight of Skipper and on pitch leader, Laurent Koscielny being withdrawn injured has for years been a worrying one for Arsenal supporters. For some time, in the eyes of most of us the Frenchman was one of a decreasingly limited number of world class performers in the first team squad. We can […]
I have just read Batmandela`s beautiful article ” Arsenal in Crisis – Yes”. I recommend that you read it dear reader. I was going to write a review of last night`s match which was not going to be particularly harsh on our players, when I read the above article. By the time I had finished […]
With the long awaited and much anticipated news that Pierre Eric Aubameyang is on his way, barring any last minute hitches, to North London we have asked our regular Gunners Town writers and contributors to consider how he will fit in. Where does PEA’s arrival potentially leave or previous record signing. Alexandre Lacazette and how […]
Arsenal 4-1 Crystal Palace This was a good performance overall. We blitzed Palace in the opening half an hour and they were spectacularly poor. It was our first Alexis-less game, with his move to United looking very certain. However, life after Alexit as it were seems OK. We were sharper in the first –half, and […]
I have read a lot of commentaries on our disastrous defeat on Sunday. There are common themes in all of them and I am thoroughly dismayed at the threads running through many of them which some of my contemporaries are highlighting. It brings me no comfort to find that I have been identifying the same […]
Arsenal vs. Liverpool Premier League preview Christmas is near, but will we get an early present by beating the Scousers? We will see. However, Salah looks like the signing of the season, and Klopp is still a quality manager. He’s publicly said that we’re a dangerous team, and both hold numerous similarities. We’re both technical […]
West ham 0-0 Arsenal It really seems we’re in the Twilight Zone. Wasn’t this akin to the Southampton performance? Or the United one to some extent? More “pass, pass, pass”, and not enough “shoot, shoot, shoot”, and “score, score, score”. The overview here is very like recent games, however: Our clear-cut chances were limited. Wilshere, […]
Suffice to say I am still buzzing after Saturday’s magnificent win over the noisy neighbours from Middlesex. It was quite easily the team’s most comprehensive performance of the campaign to date and after that 90 minutes it would be hard not to point to the return of a certain German defender as being pivotal. It […]
Arsenal 2-1 Swansea City Review – Premier League We won, and I’m glad. But then in a way it was same old Arsenal. We deserved to win, but then we made hard work of it. And our individual errors cost us in parts. Our issues are, as always, mental and attitudinal. Seems the board were […]
Arsenal vs. Swansea City Premier League preview Ozil resurged, and Eddie Nketiah became our new hero this week. Though we are at home to Swansea, and it seems vis a vis the Norwich game, we will see the big guns return. However, how will we fare here? I predict this team will start: […]
