I read with interest Alex’s column from Tuesday. I think Theo really needs to up his game in order to stay at Arsenal. I honestly do not think he can up his defensive game to the level required of him as, in my opinion, he doesn’t have the ability to do so. Theo is […]

Why do the English Media despise Arsenal as much as they do whilst admiring others who are genuinely failing?
Everyone has the right to give their opinions, they are allowed to talk about it, to write about it and to share their thoughts to people in any way, be it a respectful way. Football in England is still, no doubt one of the best to watch in the world. The rivalry, the tenacity, the […]
Emmanuel Frimpong to start for Arsenal in the Capital One Cup, as Chelsea unable to call on Alan Hansen and Michael Owen
Having been in Budapest this time last week, I’m back and ready to throw at you some Gooner gibberish, after a rather life-expectancy shortening weekend. We shan’t go into details. Despite my antics, I still found enough time to dedicate to watching the Arsenal three times in just over the space of a week. While […]

“Brits and the Yanks: Them’s Fightin’ Words” Firstly, let me preface this with a few things. This is my first column for Gunners Town, which means you are welcome to mock, ridicule and/or make japes at me with my full licence, permission and encouragement.

Arsene Wenger: It’s about time you solved Arsenal’s greatest problem since day one of your reign
Well, this is nice and comfy, I could get used to this! Gunners Town embossed leather sofas, those green shaded reading lamps you always see in films firmly attached to a glorious mahogany desk, a choice of several fine pipe tobaccos and enough coat-hanging space for several crushed velvet smoking jackets. Wonderful stuff, so thanks […]
Can this forgotten man force his way back into Arsenal’s future?
As it’s an international week, I thought why not do another loan watch. This time we take a closer look at Francis Coquelin’s season so far. The French youngster was loaned to German outfit Freiburg in the summer and, to be honest, that was kind of a surprise to me. With the signing of Mathieu […]

Arsenal fans don’t have it all that bad and here is why
Week Nine – Stop your pissin’ an’ your dissin’ – you don’t know what you’re missin’ As you read this, I will be busy sunning myself in Lanzarote, most likely with a beer in close vicinity. Due to that fact, and as we have just entered an international break, I’m taking a week off from writing, […]
Jack Wilshere out, Laurent Koscielny injury scare and Olivier Giroud and Nicklas Bendtner bag braces
No Arsenal means no fun but also, to the relief of some, no stress. However, various players picking up problems while away performing for their countries does wreak havoc for the way you conduct yourself during this boring period of dull international football. Sure it’s great for the professionals themselves who have grown up dreaming […]
