Aaron Ramsey had a blinder at Euro 2016. Leading Wales to an unexpected semi-final (albeit one he was unfortunately suspended from) and standing out in every match he played in. He ended with stats of 5 appearances 4 assists and 1 goal, in my eyes he’s been the best Arsenal player at the tournament (Koscielny […]

ARSENAL AT EURO 2016 – GROUP PHASE PLAYER RATINGS OUT OF 10!
The UEFA Euro 2016 competition has began in earnest, with several thrills occurring during the revamped 24- team tourney. The Arsenal is represented by 9 players, eight of whom played a part in the recently ended ‘freak’ season, whilst one joined in a strange-by-Arsenal-standards move, in the person of Granit Xhaka. As the competition is […]
Should Assist-Master Ozil have broken Henry’s record last season?
Mesut Ozil came within touching distance of breaking Thierry Henry’s assist record in the Premier League last season. The German helped provide 19 goals for Arsenal over the course of the campaign, finishing just one behind the Gunners’ legend’s total from the 2002/03 season. Arsene Wenger’s men endured another underwhelming term, extending their top-flight crown […]
May The Fourth Be With You – Woe is me the Unhappy Poetic Gooner
I thought about doing something different for this month’s round up as Arsenal were finally, finally put out of their misery thanks to Leicester doing the unthinkable and winning the Premier League. This season promised much, but delivered little. With one game left, I thought it would be nice to muse over the season that […]
Mertesacker restores the calm after the Gabriel Storm in a routine Gunners Win
Finally a win and a convincing win with a lot of positives. No “ifs”, no “buts”, no dissecting another below-par performance and finding possible reasons behind it. A simple, emphatic win and it doesn’t really matter West Brom couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the game. All that matters is that we’ve secured the much-needed three […]
The Case for Arsenal NOT signing Ibrahimović – The maths says £2 million per goal
I am pleased and honoured to add my contrary view to this article which originated from a well-respected writer for Gunners Town, my friend Andrea Rosetti. I agree that Zlatan Ibrahamovich has been and still is a very accomplished footballer and if the offer to sign him had come up 4 years ago, I would […]
The Case for Arsenal signing Ibrahimović – The Case for Arsenal signing a Winner
What would you say if you were offered the chance to sign Zlatan Ibrahimović? I would say yes, loud and clear. He might be old, he might be expensive and he might be full of himself but what a striker the Swede is! After an enjoyable discussion with Victor (@GunnerVic1946,) another GT contributor on Twitter, […]
“De Form of Dat Guy suggests de end of de road for Olivier Giroud as First Choice”
Where does Welbeck’s recent form leave Giroud? In what has been an elongated period of negatives for Arsenal football club, one positive along with a few others showed himself again in the impressive 2-0 victory over Everton at the weekend. No it is not another Arsenal fan over-hyping Alex Iwobi, although he was half decent […]
Gunners up for the Third FA Cup and ready to make a late charge for the Premier League
On Tuesday night, Arsenal secured their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with an ultimately dominant 4-0 victory over Hull City. In the original encounter, the Tigers earned a replay after holding the Gunners to a frustrating 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium but it was much easier for Arsene Wenger’s men in […]
All new front 4 for Hull replay as Giroud, Walcott, Iwobi and Campbell come in
So today the Arsenal squad or those fit and selected to will fly to Hull for our 7pm FA Cup replay against Steve Bruce’s Tigers. An additional fixture the team could do without but one for which they only have themselves to blame. In a strange way however the match takes on greater significance strangely […]
