We are off to Newcastle today and the one stat that caught my eye was the following: we haven’t lost five consecutive away games since 1925. As it stands, we are on a run of four successive losses on the road. Our recent home form made the situation look better than it is. Five straight […]
Déjà vu. Groundhog Day. A season supporting Arsenal football club. Nothing ever seems to change with our club, as we slowly slowly slide down the pole of mediocrity. What we thought would be an improved season after the first year of missing out on a top four place in 20-odd years has rather turned out […]
Arsenal 0-3 City Carabao Cup Final review So it’s not been another day of Wembley glory. City were the better team overall, and we just lacked the capacity to handle their intensity in the second half. On Sky Sports, Martin Tyler said that “we never got going”, and it was true. We just were not able […]
It’s amazing to think that, despite the atrocious season we are having, some saving grace is still possible. Yet, going into today’s game, it’s exactly where we are. While the Europa League as a possible scalp for Arsene Wenger’s side remains a remote possibility for now, the League Cup final can provide some balm for […]
Östersunds 0-3 Arsenal Europa League Round of 32 First Leg Well, this was comfortable. Three away goals, and surely a round of 16 tie. Yes, we shouldn’t jump the gun, but to concede four at home is wild. But then we’re Arsenal, so who knows? However, we rode the wave here, and got out alright. […]
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 […]
It’s the early kick-off for the North London derby today, as Arsenal play what will be their last league game for almost three weeks. Certainly a space oddity if you ask me, but it’s down to cup games in-between. It won’t be three weeks of rest for the Gunners of course, because Wenger’s men still […]
In recent years I’ve lost count of the number of times that those of us in my continually expanding match day friendship group, have uttered the words “I’ve had a great day out, other than the game”. Unfortunately, those occasions have become increasingly more frequent and instead of being an enjoyable hobby, watching us has […]
Nottingham Forest 4-2 Arsenal FA Cup 3rd Round January 7th 2018 This is a new low. Forest have tradition, and have done things we haven’t (European Cup). But then we allowed them to bully us, press us, and dominate our defence. Online betting sites such as 888Sport and virtually the whole footballing world had Arsenal […]
Will Lacazette hit the ground running in his first season? Is Arsenal going to strengthen at CM? Will Aaron Ramsey return to his form of the ‘13-’14 season? These questions, as well as the looming contract situations of Alexis, Ozil, and the Ox, have been the main talking points this offseason. Now that we’ve had […]
