O Captain, My Captain Unai named his ‘Captains’ yesterday and to be fair, the names did not come as a surprise. “The captain of this group is Laurent Koscielny, who is injured at the moment. After Laurent, our other captains are Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.” […]
The weird and wacky world of UEFA It is the Interlull so not much Arsenal news afoot. Down here, the news is awash with yellow sticky tape, sugar and reverse swingers. Therefore, I thought I would have a look at something slightly different. The weird and wacky world of UEFA. When is The Emirates […]
With the long awaited and much anticipated news that Pierre Eric Aubameyang is on his way, barring any last minute hitches, to North London we have asked our regular Gunners Town writers and contributors to consider how he will fit in. Where does PEA’s arrival potentially leave or previous record signing. Alexandre Lacazette and how […]
It is only January and Winter, but it has been clear for some time now that Arsenal from top to bottom as a football club needs cleansing. Some members of the playing body as well as the coaching staff and maybe the board, need to be culled. The club has been trending in a wrong […]
I like Cech, but this season he has been pretty poor. As of now (the international break), he has 4 Premier League clean sheets, which is not that far behind Courtois, Lloris, or de Gea as other top six team keepers. He, of course, holds the Premier League all-time clean sheet record, and the joint […]
Arsenal 2-1 Swansea City Review – Premier League We won, and I’m glad. But then in a way it was same old Arsenal. We deserved to win, but then we made hard work of it. And our individual errors cost us in parts. Our issues are, as always, mental and attitudinal. Seems the board were […]
For the second time inside a week Arsenal have done something I thought they were not capable of since the meek surrender to Watford: they showed some guts. Both against Everton and Swansea the Gunners went behind; both goals were conceded against the run of play; both were the first moments of danger created near […]
Everton vs. Arsenal Premier League preview This is a special fixture in some ways. Bergkamp’s first assist for us was here, all the way back in 1995, for a certain Mr. Wright (Wright, Wright). Vermaelan of all players got a debut brace, and the “certain world-beater” Cadamateri secured a winning brace here many years ago. […]
“PICK OF THE BUNCH.” From match-day to match-day there are certain individuals in the Arsenal team whose performance leaves them standing head and shoulders above the rest. The ones whose blood, sweat and tears are shed to ensure the team wins or at least makes a good attempt doing that. This weekly feature is going […]
In all those years of playing Chelsea away I almost developed an inferiority complex. I have got used to our visits to Stamford Bridge as write-off games, to the point I thought we can just start the season with -3 and skip the trip to the Blues. That’s why it was thoroughly enjoyable to watch […]
