It’s difficult to put into a short amount of words just how much of an impact Arsène Wenger has had not only on Arsenal Football Club, but also on the overall modern game of football. Across his twenty year tenure as manager of Arsenal, Arsène Wenger has completely revolutionised the club’s philosophies, reinvented the way […]
I was involved in a rather depressing and thought provoking conversation on Monday on the Footballtasitically Arsenal podcast. The cause of the depression or enlightenment perhaps was Alan Alger from Betway. Armed with indisputable statistics Alan suggested in strong terms using various metrics that the only thing Wenger’s Arsenal improved upon in their Premier League […]
Arsenal are supporting Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day again this year. Arsène Wenger and his players have donned festive jumpers for a special squad picture, with Arsenal Ladies stars Jordan Nobbs, Leah Williamson and Fara Williams also getting involved in the campaign. To help raise funds for Save the Children, Arsenal have created a […]
Back in August, I wrote a pretty scathing review of how Arsenal had conducted its transfer business this summer. Things had started well, with Granit Xhaka’s acquisition from Borussia Monchengladbach in May an encouraging start, but the weeks of inactivity that followed seemed to indicate at best a gross incompetence with regards to transfer dealings, and at worst a […]
In the past I have been accused of being negative or having some form of personal agenda against Arsene Wenger. Accusations, that unsurprisingly, originate from supporters who wear rose-tinted spectacles where our manager is concerned. These are accusations that I strongly refute and would argue that perhaps it is those who choose to focus on […]
Winning the games “we should win”, and the new red card laws explained in detail Another week, another two wins. This is becoming something of a habit now isn’t it? Not bad after an international break either. I feel the need to apologise in advance for the amount of quotation marks in this week’s […]
Let us start off with an image which I am sure will bring warmth to a lot of Gooner hearts, the Champions League team of the week from Whoscored.com . Go on, take a look, weep a little. Tell your friends and their friends. Go hire an open top bus to go through town shouting […]
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Kidding, kidding. It was gut-wrenching, nail-baiting and hair-raising, but we held on in the end. Despite atrocious refereeing, Xhaka’s idiocy and Swansea’a resilience. Each of these three factors could have cost us, indeed I can name a handful of occasions when below-par refereeing, one individual’s mistakes or opposition’s stubborn […]
Following yet another dismal performance by England, Theo called a prezzer to announce his retirement from international football. Since breaking into the England squad at the 2006 World Cup at the tender age of 12, Theo has played 46 matches for The Three Lions, with a low return of 8 goals. Theo’s England career has […]
Arsenal star midfielders Santi Cazorla and Mesut Özil got together to call the 3-0 win against Manchester United 2015/16. Possible careers as commentators if this footballing thing doesn’t pan out? You be the judge. 🙂 Gunners TownGunners Town is a premier Arsenal blogging platform for passionate and knowledgeable Gooners. Established in 2012, the site has […]
