Ruthless Arsenal Progress With Ease and Zelalem enters the 1st team fray
Arsenal eased into the 5th Round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 4-0 victory against Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium last night.

Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta expresses World Cup inclusion hopes and dreams for Spain…or England
Having caught up with my Doctor Who obsession with a Saturday night marathon (keeps me awake for 2am kick offs!), I think I might have overdosed, as my mind seems to have taken a trip in time and dimensions in space… World Cup Diary of Mikel aged 32 1/3 Thursday June 12th 2014 and Mikel […]
Another London Derby Win for Arsenal?
My last column for Gunnerstown was way back in November, for Dortmund away. The result of that match as I’m sure you will remember was an emphatic one for us, so I’m hoping that I can carry on winning ways with this preview too. These previews have and possibly will be sporadic as I’m currently […]
Will Arsene Wenger sign a new striker for Arsenal during the January transfer window?
Arsene Wenger is known to be a miserly spender in the transfer market. He doesn’t believe in in a squad bought with money.

Will this be the year? The title itself would have made clear what this article is all about. I am going to try to answer this question for you keeping in mind everything that my mind is capable of keeping. It’s January 16th, and we are already past the halfway mark in the Barclays Premier League. […]
Why Spurs are to thank for Arsenal’s Premier League title surge this season
Thank You Tottenham Hotspur ? 3rd March 2013 was a day that all Arsenal fans dread. It was a day of defeat in the North London Derby. It was the start of a 24 hour period of Facebook silence for me, with my status being “I love Tottenham Hotspur” (a long running bet I have […]
Arsenal show style and substance to go top, but are still underdogs for the Premier League title
Last night Arsenal displayed their classiest best, whilst also having to grind out the victory in a nervy finale at Villa Park. At times during the first half ‘Total Football’ was on display as Arsenal looked back to their classic, high tempo, passing pinnacle after having to settle to grind out results in recent weeks. […]
Jack Wilshere hits back at taunting critics to drag Arsenal back to the top of the Premier League the hard way
Aston Villa 1 Arsenal 2 – Jack On The Money As Arsenal Scrape The Win Two goals inside a minute from Jack Wilshere and Olivier Giroud were enough for Arsenal to return to the top of the Premier League, despite a nervy finish at Villa Park in which Christian Benteke’s late header that gave Aston […]
