Captain’s Log star date nearly Christmas. Spock says he has no emotion, and that I should bother buying him anything, but he said the same thing last year and when I didn’t get him a gift the Vulcan pinched me in the balls. 3 wins in a row, but more importantly, 3 clean sheets. A lots has […]

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 […]
Per Mertesacker better than Tony Adams? Jack Wilshere and Mesut Ozil hit back at Arsenal critics during November to remember
Ram, Flam, thank you ma’am. Job done in Wales as the Arsenal go marching on in the Premier League and Europe. Saturday was just the latest in a recent series of enjoyable days to be a Gooner, thanks to a big win against a Cardiff City side that triumphed over Manchester City as well as […]
Cashley Cole – We loved him, we hate him, we made him, we grudgingly respect him, but Hodgson don’t ignore him
When I hear the name ‘Ashley Cole’ I shudder. I shudder harder than the time I went out in the snow wearing nothing but fishnet tights and a string vest. Everyone else was shuddering when they saw me too. Can’t think why. That name, Ashley Cole, tears me up. I hate the little bastard. Hate […]
Forget Aaron Ramsey, this Arsenal star went from a liability to the Premier League’s finest
Just before the deadline of the 2011 summer transfer window a tall, rather thin blonde German by the name of Per Mertesacker signed for Arsenal in an £8m deal. The signing wasn’t a complete surprise as he had been linked to Arsenal before but many did not see him as an Arsene Wenger type centre […]
Legends at Arsenal; What is or should their role be?
Global Gooner Sundays It’s been a while since I’ve written but I was keen to accept the open invitation from Dave Seager to write for Gunners Town. The drought was born out of lack of inspiration and a good topic to work on. Chalk that up to the slow crunch of the transfer window, the […]
Where are they now? The Search for Forgotten Gooners – Week 8: Andy Linighan
Where Are They Now?! This week’s Where Are They Now? Sees us delve back into the distant (but not too long ago) past, more specifically the 80s and the 90s. The player in question this week is someone who four major titles with Arsenal, as well as netting a dramatic winner in the final seconds […]
Stewart Robson – It’s all gone quiet over there, if Twitter picked our team, and Bould’s not for hugging
Anti Social-media Behaviour Trembling deliriously, then delirious tremors (that ran from Newcastle all the way to Shite Hart Lane), and of course followed today by delirium tremens! But worth it? Hell yeah! All worth it to have watched this team develop together as the season went on, culminating with the final unbeaten run of eight wins and […]
Should Wenger take a chance of this Champions League winner?
Arsene Wenger is a man who isn’t known for discussing Arsenal’s transfer business. Whether you like it or love it, it is very rare that the Frenchman will opt to talk about potential ins and outs at the club. WTTGT
A reason for optimism?
Having endured Wednesday’s night torturous performance, I’m sure many of you aren’t enjoying yourselves being Arsenal fans at the moment. Having gone into the international break with a satisfying win over West Ham United, club football returned at the weekend with Gooners up and down the country feeling optimistic and positive ahead of the action.
