Transfer season is upon us and the rumours have begun. We’re being linked with all sorts of player across Europe and it has got the more naive supporters anxious. Some are more relaxed and some are convinced we don’t need to add much, at all if anything. I have to strongly disagree. If we’re happy with […]

“I said last year that Arsene Wenger wasn’t top class – I was wrong Wenger is TOP CLASS!”
In November of last year I wrote a blog which the editors here at Gunners Town titled ‘Arsene Wenger is not top class anymore’, which was as accurate a reflection of the piece as you could get. It wasn’t a reactionary rant about another painful loss, (it was after we blew 3 goal lead to […]
Why Arsenal were so good at making Villa bad – Sherwood out thought, his players out fought!
So much has already been said about the Cup Final, but I just don’t get tired of reading about how glorious we were on Saturday, and I’m guessing that most Arsenal fans feel the same way. However in the interest of not repeating what’s already been said, I’ll go over why It all went wrong […]
Relief, Belief, Joy and an Emotional Post Cup Final Win Out Pouring of #GlobalGoonerPassion
Where do I begin? What do I talk about? Ozil’s touches, gliding, passes? Theo’s reverse pass for Monreal? Sanchez’s screamer? The chuffed expression on Mertesacker’s face after his goal? Coquelin not putting…no…our defensive unit not putting a foot wrong? Santi being Santi? It was SUCH a commanding performance it was a little underwhelming! Unless you’re […]

Walcott, Rosicky and Wilshere in with Giroud, Cazorla and Ramsey out for final?
Having followed Arsenal since the late 1990s, I have seen a lot of success come our way. I was fortunate enough to see many of Arsenal’s top players of the day on TV playing and winning important fixtures in that time, like Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Marc Overmars, Ray Parlour, Patrick Vieira… the list goes […]
Time to rest Ramsey, Sanchez, Cazorla and Giroud all dead on their feet against Sunderland – But for who? MOZART Please!
If you came here today to see me bemoan the dropped points, you can turn right around because I won’t. I probably would have done that had we lost, but when your team attacks for 90 minutes out of 95, manages 28 shots and has 76% possession, well, that’s what I call an effort and […]

4 Games in 13 Days for our best finish in 10 years as up to 22 fight for 11 places at Wembley :-)
I finally got around to watching the Hull vs. Arsenal match yesterday (thank you DVR) – I’ve seen and heard reviews praising Arsenal’s performance. I thought that AFC were good on the day, but not as blindingly brilliant as some have claimed. It was a game of missed chances for Hull, poor refereeing from Lee […]
Thierry, do the Arsenal really need an entirely new spine?
Do you remember my blog from last week? I said Thierry Henry was right in his criticism of Olivier Giroud, I said I agreed with him about us not being able to win the title with (only) Olivier Giroud upfront. I didn’t change my mind since, however I’d like to point out that anything else […]
