Arsenal vs Manchester United, February .. 2014.

Well, it’s started, hasn’t it?! Mathieu Debuchy…Alexis Sanchez…who else will arrive at N5 this summer? What a pair of signings.

Hello, hello, and welcome back to my weekly, ahem, Gunners Town column. Apologies for my hiatus in recent weeks, but when it comes to the crunch time of needing to write this blog, I’ve been swamped in work. That’s the difficulty with Arsenal playing at the weekend, while I’m at work, and then trying to […]
Arsenal rarely tend to do things the easy way but yesterday we just about had enough to beat defending Champions Wigan Athletic and reach the FA Cup Final, our first since we last won the competition in 2005. Lukas Fabianski was the hero as he saved the first two Wigan penalties in the shoot out […]
