Burnley. We knew what to expect from Burnley. It was always going to be tough, it was always going to be a bit scrappy. Here’s the thing though, this team can win tough, scrappy games. We have robust players like Coquelin, (how good was he yesterday), Alexis and Giroud. Even Özil has more bulk to […]
My thoughts about Jack Wilshere have often been that he should be a deep-lying playmaker in the mould of Andrea Pirlo, the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian midfielder. Jack has an excellent range of passing and a decent first touch. However, he is usually deployed higher up the pitch with more offensive orders by Arsene Wenger, […]
Actual football returns as we take on Liverpool at the Emirates in what is probably the most important game during the run-in. Win, and we open a nine-point gap on the Mugmashers and maintain at least a seven-point one on Spurs and Southampton. However, Liverpool is a dangerous team to play right now, exactly because […]
Newcastle I said last week that in theory the Newcastle game should be an easy three points, but that easy games in the league were rare. Well it panned out that scoring the two goals that won the game was easy, and hanging on for the three points afterwards was hard. It felt to me […]
You sold Bale and we signed Mesut Ozil, Mesut Ozil, Mesut f***ing Ozil!! Honestly having been a huge fan of his before I even thought it was possible he could play for my club, I still rub my eyes in disbelief that he sports the mighty red kit of Arsenal! What a player he […]
It’s been a while since my last blog, far too long in all honesty but the hardest part about starting again is knowing where to start. I have many issues with this current Arsenal side and particularly with Arsene Wenger – but there is one area of the pitch that irks me more than most […]
In modern football where loyalty is regarded as obscene, Jack Wilshere and Arsenal Football Club are a rare fusion of passion and talent. Right from his days in the youth team it was obvious he’ll become a core member of the team at some point. He would eventually have his breakthrough year in the 2010/2011 […]
As I write, less than a week on from that unforgettable day at Wembley, I’m already starting to see some of the focus shifting from winning the FA Cup to who we should and aren’t going to sign this summer among other things, and the bitching has started in earnest. Fine, if that’s your bag, […]
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 […]
Two Aaron Ramsey goals, on his return home to Cardiff, along with another from Mathieu Flamini gave Arsenal a resounding 3-0 win in the Welsh capital, capping off another decent month for the Gunners. Matt LittlechildI was born in Cambridge into an Arsenal supporting family, and now in my mid-twenties living and working in London […]
