We face Manchester United today, but the game will definitely miss the spark of an important rivalry. It’s 5th vs 6th, and even a win won’t move Arsenal above United. In the end, whether we finish the campaign 5th or 6th doesn’t really matter. I have next to no hope we can break into the […]
Hi Gooners! This week’s column has been inspired by two superb articles written by Dave Seager, featured on Football London: the former was an inspired analysis of how Cesc Fàbregas was a more influential figure at the Arsenal than Mesut Özil – although younger and playing with less-convincing teammates – while the second is a […]
![Arséne Wenger - Rebel Without A Clue? [Artwork: @invinciblog]](https://gunnerstown.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Wenger-Rebel-Invinciblog-100x100.jpg "Wenger Faces Lengthy Ban: is he Arsenal’s “Rebel Without A Clue”?")
Don’t get me wrong. Anything that Wenger does that isn’t sitting on the sideline, furrowed brow, all forlorn… …or impersonating a sleeping bag struggling to (un)zip itself… …is fine by moi. Getting in the face of the sh*t-lipped (why else would he be permanently sneering?) Mourinho… or venting his ire on inanimate objects… – these little […]
Ahhh! December. When Santa decides who make his naughty list and who makes his nice list. The season of giving and the season of receiving. Alas, the football gods in recent moments have also taken and given. Days ago we were struck with the sad news that the football gods in need of angels called […]
Arsene is sitting in his office after a hard day’s training, which is getting easier these days as he doesn’t have to keep calling the doctors to deal with Jack, when his phone rings. “Hi Arsene, God here. How are things?” “Not too bad, son. Long time no hear!!” “Yeah, sorry – been a bit […]
My interest in football articles and in particular those associated with Arsenal was drawn to a number of articles in which the common subjects appeared to be praise for Wenger for the performance of the current team and severe criticism for the ineptitude of Man Utd`s recent managers. Kroenke in particular remarked on the difficulty […]
Ethical – definition – relating to moral principles It’s August 6th and Maureen is off already. Apparently it is ‘unethical’ to comment on United’s worse kept secret of spending £100m to RE-SIGN Paul Pogba from Juve. Arsene stated that the valuation of the ex United youngster was ‘completely crazy’ and Klopp has been reported as […]
I’ll preface this blog with this: this one will be a sad blog, for many fans. Please tweet all abuse to me @timjbharg on Twitter or leave a comment below – but please don’t abuse the other writers and editors! I think that next season Arsenal will get into the Champions League but it will […]
Time to reset our horizons? Let’s face it, barring a miracle, if I was one of the luck punters with £100 on Leicester to win the title at 5000/1, I wouldn’t be cashing out early as all the bookies are praying they do. 5 points clear of the spuds (11 to Arsenal) 7 games to […]
Another visit to Old Trafford, another shambolic performance. I don’t bother with anger anymore. If a decade of resignation has taught me anything, it is that while the situation at Arsenal is helplessly rigid, emotion simply isn’t worth it. Pessimism has been a faithful ally of mine over the years; I’d recommend it to any […]
