I don’t know about you guys, but I will be the first to admit that I came to support Arsenal quite by chance when I was 13. Back then I knew little of club football, except for this Ruud van Nistelrooy jersey that an aunt had bought me. I also had a Ronaldo jersey, the […]
Greetings fellow Gooners! I hope that your respective summers helped you rejuvenate yourselves and recover from the madness that was last season. Since the last time I posted here, we leapfrogged the scum to finish as runners up in what can be described best as a close second to the comic Lasagna-gate. It was certainly […]
Many folks seem to be surprised by Jack Wilshere’s loan to Bournemouth. I wasn’t too surprised by it, to be honest. Let’s face it: Arsenal have, on paper, a stronger and more competitive midfield in place for this season, with Granit Xhaka signing on this summer and Mohamed Elneny in the winter window to replace […]
Destroy. Build. Repeat. We can’t have a stress-free transfer window, can we? The signings of Granit Xhaka, Skhodran Mustafi and Lucas Pérez seemed to finally complete a squad that was desperately calling for reinforcements, but the joy didn’t last much. We just overcame the terrifying idea of Arsène Wenger not replacing the injured pair […]
On a beautiful august day Arsenals premier league charge began, and after a block buster 90 minutes cautious optimism gave way to full scale meltdown. A four three defeat against Liverpool left the long suffering emirates faithful with an all too familiar feeling. Let down by a side underprepared, undercooked and undermanned. The disappointment comes […]
So, Arsenal are starting another season short-handed. The striker to help Giroud has not been found and AFC are still one centre-back short. Granit Xhaka was brought in immediately after last season ended to ensure season ticket renewals and I don’t think the Club had any concrete plan to fill up the gaps in the […]
So having helped build up Gunners Town from scratch in 2013 I am now going to be writing for it more often. A regular column here along with a bi-weekly Shoot feature will be my blogging homes for 2016/17. So amid all the ‘will he won’t he splash the cash’ and do what we all […]
Amid talks of strikers and defenders being monitored, bids being prepared, agents being called (wasn’t that illegal?) and big money being amassed, there’s very little talk about a handful of players who already are at the Club and could have a massive impact in the upcoming season. Outshone by Aaron Ramsey’s stunning performances at EURO […]
For The Gunners pre-season begins in earnest tonight in Lens. FC Lens are no longer the top side who battled Wenger’s great 1998 double winners in the Champion’s League. Indeed they are not even a top division side in France, finishing last season 4th in Ligue 2 but they should provide a good work out […]
There is understandably some frustration at present at the club’s inability to get the business done early in the window in the striking department. Gunners Town is worried but not that Wenger and the club will not sign a new striker as we are firmly of the belief that there will be a new addition […]
