‘Backstage kills the band’ The match was a snapshot of Arsenal over the last 10 years. On the ball, good enough to win. Much like a band they had some rockstars who had the crowd on their feet. Lacazette, Aubameyang and Pepe played some quality back up to the lead singer, Matteo Guendouzi. Unfortunately, […]
On one bright and sunny Wednesday afternoon I decided to get a little trim at the hairdressers, upon walking into the barbers , I found myself in a long queue with some other fine gentlemen of various degrees of baldness. I’d been meaning to write a North London derby starting 11 piece for some time […]
A combined XI from Danny Mills had a rather…interesting response. Most, as can be seen, were Spurs players, and even overhyped ones like Harry Winks. Pepe is class but cannot feature over more experienced and PL-proven players like Auba and Laca. And Lloris IMHO has, of course, won the WC and was France’s captain […]
Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, Manchester United – how do the top four rivals compare? So with the PL season upon us, how does Arsenal shape up versus the other top four contenders? The title is unlikely, though naturally not impossible. Liverpool battered Norwich City 4-1, and West Ham got tanked 5-0 by Man City. They […]
I believe the 2018/19 Premier League season is a sign of things to come… With one match to play and so many positions still in contention -including top of the log – it is a sign of the growing competitiveness in the top European football leagues, and in particular the English League, with its vast […]
Arsenal and Tottenham – Stadium comparisons/issues Arsenal and Spurs, with the opening of Tottenham’s new ground, will have some inevitable comparisons in their grounds’ financing and operations. Both us and them have built grounds for the same reasons – to provide a footing to compete at the highest levels. And revenue is all in […]
After the action over the last few days, there have been some changes to the table. The season end draws ever closer, and it is vital that teams secure the highest place possible. With the race to lift the trophy locked into a battle between Liverpool and current title holders Manchester City, it is the […]
Yes, we’ve had some comical instances which other clubs haven’t had in recent years. City didn’t lose 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern. Spurs haven’t had “Poch In/Poch Out” fights in their stands. Liverpool did win more than just one away win from Jan to May 2018. And Chelsea hasn’t been stereotyped by AFTV’s […]
I asked a few of the Gunners Town writers to give me their Top 6 predictions for the Premier League season 18/19. Obviously the transfer window is still open and things could change – but the one thing about the Premier League is that things are ALWAYS changing:. injuries, meltdowns, surprise losses… It’s a rollercoaster […]
Does Mesut Ozil do it in the big games? Mesut Ozil, our once record signing, is a divisive figure amongst us fans. Nobody, really, questions his innate quality. In raw technical terms, only perhaps Dennis Bergkamp or Santi Cazorla can surpass him. However, he is not as consistent as he could be, and in […]
