Arsenal’s start to the season has done no favors to the notion that this squad can win the league. Unsurprisingly, the clamoring for buying a new striker or backup defensive midfielder or any other ‘we need’ you may have heard, has only increased fervently. Apparently, we must spend. Apparently, we must show our ambition by […]

Four weeks away from cheating and diving players; Nasty managers with cynical tactics……
Well are you all excited about the return of the Premier League in 4 weeks? I am sure we all are or are we? Recently I got back in touch with an old work colleague from the later 1980’s, actually through a comment on a blog of all things. Subsequently we exchanged and email or […]
We Can Break Our European Duck This Year!
Hello guys, it’s the refreshed Subomi here writing again and recent results have given every reason to feel that way. Now people many wonder what my opinion on Wenger currently stands as, and at the minute I feel unsure. I’m uncertain of how far he can take us, mainly through his stubbornness and knack for […]
Is it Crazy to say this Arsenal squad could win the Premier League? Maybe Not!

Another London Derby Win for Arsenal?
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 […]
‘It’s Up For Grabs Now!’ – Arsenal vs Liverpool
After our midweek slump against Chelsea, I can think of teams I’d rather play that Liverpool at the moment. Liverpool are in a good run of form, not dissimilar to us and will want to do everything to keep that momentum going. With two defeats in two games at The Emirates, we can’t afford to […]
What should Arsenal prefer; Premier League title or Champions League crown?
“Brits and the Yanks: Them’s Fightin’ Words” Firstly, let me preface this with a few things. This is my first column for Gunners Town, which means you are welcome to mock, ridicule and/or make japes at me with my full licence, permission and encouragement. Secondly, I’m an American, which means “football” to me in daily […]
