I’m still standing (With apologies to Elton John) With the recent release of Rocketman (not sponsoring this article but if Paramount are reading ???), I started humming some Elton John tracks. Then ‘I’m still standing’ popped into my head and then so did Carl Jenkinson. I’m Still Standing: Starring Carl Jenkinson You could never […]
The squad flew out to Singapore last week and there was a noticeable absence on the plane, Carl Jenkinson. With the exception of Rambo (more on him later), this appears to be the final nail in the coffin of ‘British Core 1.0’. Back in 2012, these 6 players were supposed to represent the future of […]
I have been writing for Gunners Town now for two years and sending comments in for a year before that. I have varied between ecstatic praise to gut wrenching despair and utter frustration. We are now in a position of desperation which I did predict about 18 months ago. The comments from fellow contributors have […]
I will miss the Ox Ox’s introduction to the Liverpool faithful, in his new Liverpool kit, and made at the England camp hurt me. He wanted to leave, granted. And it’s understandable how he wanted to move. But it bothered me since it’s a waste. Emergence When he arrived, he was the next big thing, […]
I’m writing this as the transfer window has just closed and Arsenal have ended up with a £17m profit. For a club of Arsenal’s size, with I believe the 5th largest turnover in World football this is a pretty shocking state of affairs, as much smaller clubs like West Brom, Brighton, Bournemouth, Watford and Huddersfield […]
Let’s all laugh at Arsenal their absurd fans. Yeah I get it, it’s funny. The best run club in the world ™ has no money and none of their players want to stay. All very amusing and bizarre in equal measure. However the one thing I would like to point out, which in my opinion, […]
Liverpool vs. Arsenal Preview Premier League – Sunday 27th August 2017 – Anfield Liverpool and Arsenal are similar in many ways. Both have achieved great success in the past, and desperately want to recapture those times. They also have great attacks, and woefully bad defences. Their opening results have been pretty mixed too. Liverpool drew […]
Arsene has demonstrated that he’s learned nothing from mistakes made in previous campaigns. I’m disappointed and frustrated but sadly, not surprised. However, despite being called ‘negative’ by some of our more ‘positive’ supporters, I take no enjoyment from saying “I told you so”. I would take plenty from Arsene proving me wrong though. Unfortunately, he […]
Stoke City 1-0 Arsenal review Premier League – Bet 365 Stadium, Stoke-on-Trent Saturday 19th August 2017 Stoke and Arsenal have no love lost between them, and it showed with Stoke getting a win here. They didn’t rough Arsenal up, akin to years prior, but they managed to squeeze behind the Arsenal defence after half-time, and […]
POSITIVE Aaron Ramsey The Welsh Jesus has returned. Against Stoke, Ramsey showed a glimpse of the player who shone in the 13/14 season. His first touch was sharp, it allowed him to quickly pick out an offensive pass; no more 360′ wide-turns, slowing down our attack. Watching him off the ball was a revelation: his […]
