Ramsey to miss out in best midfield balance to beat Chelsea
I’m pretty sure that Andrea’s blog from yesterday about who will cover Chelsea’s main danger man and attacking threat Eden Hazard, due to the absence of Diego Costa, Drogba and Remy, was pretty much spot-on (I’d go with Debuchy at right-back and Cazorla at right midfield with the personnel available but Debuchy with Oxlade-Chamberlain would […]
No semi is easy – Team changes, impressive Reading and Martin Twatkinson made this one harder…
That was nerve-racking. Much more than any of us would have liked. After the game I rushed for my validol. I know a couple of my friends who rushed to pubs or their secret alcohol stashes to ease the pressure. But we made it into the final and, first and foremost, I want to clear up […]

One for all and all 4-1 – A Musketeer of a Team Performance v Liverpool
When going into the game, I honestly didn’t expect for Arsenal to pull off something like that. It has nothing to do with lack of belief: I always believe we can beat the opposition, whatever the circumstances. Rather, I knew it was make-or-break for Liverpool: a loss would basically mean they finish outside the top […]

With 23 fit to face LFC who makes your 11 and which 5 not even on the bench? #Squaddepth
The good news came in yesterday: Mathieu Débuchy, Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are all ready to battle for a place in the squad that will face Liverpool on Saturday. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ready to follow in their footsteps next week already, players are going to take internal competition to the next level: making at least […]
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 […]
Goon v Toon -Time to put a below strength Newcastle to the sword and retain momentum
Hello everyone this is my first article of many I hope from Russia for Gunners Town and you can read my bio at the end! – Alex My, the last couple of days dragged by painfully slowly. I suspect it’s as much to do with us playing on Tuesday as with all the subsequent […]
Has Wenger’s new kind of tactical flexibility made Arsenal unpredictable and dangerous?
Purely in terms of results, this has actually been a good week. It doesn’t feel like it for obvious reasons, but a 3-0 win and a 2-0 win are good results, not only because of the victories, but the nature of them too. We played very well in both games and rarely looked troubled at […]
