This season has seen a whirlwind of numerous Gunners failing to live up to potential or not showing enough of it (but let’s not forget the unbelievable ones as well; Leno to name one). This can be down to a number of reasons from personal, coaching or even motivational. But there is a little edge […]
When Robin van Persie left Arsenal in 2012, I made a promise to never have a favourite Arsenal player again. The wounds from Henry’s departure still hadn’t fully healed, despite the divorce happening five years prior. I was also trying to black Cesc Fabregas out of my mind. To lose a second captain inside one […]
Welcome to the Gunners Town Transfer WhizzQuiz*. (This shouldn’t take more than a minute. If it does, you may be taking all of this too seriously… Go walk a dog. Ride a bike. Rob a bank!) Enjoy! *Yes, I know it’s more of a survey than a quiz… Sosumi. #UTA invinciblogI was eleven-and-a-half. My family […]
OPTION A: Eggs Hollandaise on Quinoa Pancake, with Venison Shiitake Ballotine, marinated overnight in a Dalmatian Vinaigrette reduction, & lightly splashed with a Ham & Wild Tomato Salpicon. Served with a steaming pot of Kopi Luwak. -=<~>=- Sorry. Option A has been cancelled. The Hollandaise turned out to be rather stinky. (A […]

“Don’t believe the truth”, say Oasis on the front cover of their sixth studio album. Numbers are often thrown out to defend this or that point of view, proving this or that opinion undoubtedly right. If football were an exact science, then I would have stopped watching it since a long time – or never had any interest […]
The World Cup is edging closer and the hype about the tournament is just getting started. And with it all of these so called ‘experts’. The German national team is always the first thing to talk about these days when it comes to sports, so why not criticize Mesut Özil once more. It has been […]
“Anything that can go wrong, will.” Afternoon Gooners. Yes, Sod’s law. Thursday served me up a steaming dish of it, with a side order of utter bollocks and a dessert heaped with sprinklings of f**k you. Long story short; one pick-up of old sofa arranged, to be followed by a drop-off of a new sofa. […]
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 […]
Happy Festivius Gooners, in a week when Arsenal faltered again in a match against a title rival – albeit this fixture was also a battle with appalling weather conditions and an another diabolical refereeing performance too – a game two days later away to Sam Allardyce’s struggling West Ham side could’ve been a real banana […]
