Arsenal rarely tend to do things the easy way but yesterday we just about had enough to beat defending Champions Wigan Athletic and reach the FA Cup Final, our first since we last won the competition in 2005. Lukas Fabianski was the hero as he saved the first two Wigan penalties in the shoot out […]

RELAX! Arsene Wenger LOVES Arsenal more than YOU! So leave Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud alone
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for Gunners Town, mainly as I’m writing a dissertation at the moment and that’s taking all the spare time I have right now. Thanks for Gunners Town firstly, for bearing with me during this time. Since I’ve been away, we’ve had some ups and downs haven’t we. […]
Santi signs extension but many fans don’t see him in the team – You are Wenger for the day Part 2
Today I am delighted to introduce the follow up to the ‘If you were Wenger for a day’ article in which our writers selected their Arsenal team from a fully fit squad. It throw up some varied selections and indeed some interesting formations as well. In Part 2 in is the turn of Gunners Town […]
YOU are Arsene Wenger for the day – Everyone is fit so who plays and in what formation?
We all love a bit of moaning on social media don’t we? We all think we know better than Arsene Wenger don’t we? We all think we can make tactical substitutions at the right time! We certainly all think that playing with the same formation week in and week out, regardless of the opposition and […]
Robben scored 9.9 as Arsenal crash out at the Allianz with heads held high
Bayern Munich came crashing down on Arsenal for the second time in as many seasons, as the Germans won 3-1 on aggregate. Arsenal had lost the home leg by a 2-0 and were not able to not battle back to win against a very strong Bayern side, who were not at their best. The win […]
Bayern v Arsenal – Player ratings and learning points for Arsene Wenger
My feeling today is one of neutrality – the hope of a fan never left me and once I saw the team selection it was clear we had the intent of playing attacking football from both sides with some subtle positional changes. I don’t think Bayern away is the first time to experiment but I […]
Arsenal throw money at Goalkeeper, Bacary Sagna contract update, and FA Cup silverware is in sight
Jesus, what a difference a week makes eh?! This time last week it was all doom and gloom after losing at Stoke and seemingly watching our Premier League title hopes hang by a thread. Needless to say there was a wave of negativity flowing around the Goonersphere. Fast forward a week and we’re off to […]
The EIGHT summer signings stuttering Arsenal could make to retain momentum
So then, Stoke City, away. An almost perennial nadir for Gooners. A tried and tested script that contains all the predictable tropes; like an old Bond film on the box during a Sunday afternoon… – Ultra-defensive set up from the home side to counter the (non-existent) Arsenal attacking threat. – Arsenal players spitefully kicked by […]
REVEALED: Mesut Ozil and Arsene Wenger conversation before Arsenal’s defeat at Stoke
What is this Stoke you speak with Billy no mates?! Friday 28th February 2014 Mesut Ozil and Per Mertesacker are warming down from training. “Per, what is this Stoke everyone is talking about?” asks Mesut, innocently.”It is somewhere new for me and I was thinking of taking meine Frau with me and making a weekend […]
Mesut Ozil, Nigella Lawson, Moobs, Air Max and the Arsenal
You know what really gets on my tits? Moobs, I mean moobs. Oh for crying out loud, I mean pecs. That’s right. I meant pecs. Muscly pecs. What really, really, really gets on my nerves is when a player is written off faster than my old Peugeot 205. Now I wrote that motor off fast. […]
