It is 2018, Snowflake. Hi @Nacho-Monreal. My 6 year old son asked me, why you are called Nacho and do you promote unhealthy salted snacks. I said I don’t know and I don’t know. Maybe you should change you name to ‘Vegan Chia and Quinoa Flakes Monreal’. It is 2018, after all. Hi @AlexLacazette. My […]

Nacho up front in a 4-1-2-3-1 as Arsenal Seek To Startle Swedish Wheelbarrows [Europa League Preview]
I’m not the usual match previewer here on Gunners Town – but I thought I’d give it a bash. How hard can it be? First, a little background on tonight’s opponents… Background “Östersund” means ‘wheelbarrow’ in Swedish, and it’s quite appropriate, since the entire population could fit in a wheelbarrow. A very big wheelbarrow. Not […]
The Importance of Building Play From the Back with Arsenal’s 3 Central Defender System
Much of the Arsenal chat of late has revolved around the effectiveness of our recent Premier League lineups featuring the high-profile front 3 of Lacazette, Ozil, and Alexis.

He has taken to the left central role and made it his own when many Arsenal fans assumed he would be rotated with Sead Kolasinac and left wingback or left back. According to Whoscored.com on their score metrics he […]

Yesterday I was having a chat via Twitter with a fellow Gooner and serial podcaster, known on the internet as @RamblinGooner, about the upcoming winter transfers window and how Arsène Wenger will strengthen our squad. Will he sign a defender? Will he sign a defensive midfielder? Will he sign both? Then suddenly I found myself […]
