Gunners Town Top 5 What a weekend it has been for us Arsenal fans. As if Liverpool losing at home and Manchester United getting destroyed wasn’t enough to bring a smile to our faces, then overcoming Stoke City at the Emirates to go to the top of the Premier League sure did the trick. Life […]
The Ones Who Got Away This is the second article in the series titled “The One That Got Away”, a series which basically sets out to look at the players whom Arsenal have missed out on over the years. Last time the focus was on Franck Ribery, currently a star player for the reigning European […]
Gunners Town Top 5 This is it. No not the Michael Jackson movie/album but the fact that we’re into the final week of the transfer window before we’re left with what we have until the overpriced January jumble sale hits us. The next seven days could be absolutely pivotal as far as the rest of […]
Global Gooner Sundays We are officially in the silly Season, a period that I can confidently say is my least favorite with so much transfer bullsh*t everywhere, filled with multiple rumors linking multiple players with moves to multiple clubs. I have to admit its usually pretty tempting to talk, discuss or even write about them […]
Weekly Education Over the past few seasons Arsenal have had many a short-term captain, but not a stable, long-term leader. This is partially down to the fact that our captains have been sold one after the other for the past six or seven years, however there was also one horrific choice of captain in William […]
Doppelpass Another week gone by and let’s be honest there is nothing new to report. The transfer window which started with lot’s “close deals” has gone rumour based as every year.

It’s the path he has chosen for Arsenal during the austerity years; […]
Considered Cohen With the recent signing of Yaya Sanogo, and the discussion about Gonzalo Higuain and Wayne Rooney, it’s pretty easy to see where Arsene Wenger views needed improvements- in the striker/central forward role. It’s positive to see that Arsenal are strengthening their forward line- a position which the Gunners struggled with at different stages […]
Anti Social-Media Behaviour It’s that time of year again, when we see the mass migration of “fans” from the “Arsene’s a wanker” and “Gazidis is a mong”, “what are they paid for?” camps over to the “Arsene’s a genius”, “Gazidis is playing a blinder”, “I told you so” camp. (you could do this in Attenborough’s […]
Mr. T’s Nuts During the invincible season Arsenal were completely dominant in midfield, which owed much to the world class talent we had the time. We also had a fantastic central partnership in Gilberto Silva and Patrick Vieira, and the supporting cast of Edu and Ray Parlour were great squad options when called upon. It […]
