Where do I begin? What do I talk about? Ozil’s touches, gliding, passes? Theo’s reverse pass for Monreal? Sanchez’s screamer? The chuffed expression on Mertesacker’s face after his goal? Coquelin not putting…no…our defensive unit not putting a foot wrong? Santi being Santi? It was SUCH a commanding performance it was a little underwhelming! Unless you’re […]

Now THAT Is How You Play A Cup Final! – The complete team performance
Arsenal were brilliant yesterday, smashing Aston Villa 4-0 at Wembley in the F.A. Cup Final. Arsenal are now the 4th team in the history of the F.A. Cup to successfully defend the trophy, an outstanding achievement. Of course we have done it twice. This was also a totally different match to last year’s final vs. […]
Theo’s pace in attack brings back vintage Arsenal
After some very frustrating matches this month against the likes of Swansea and Sunderland where we couldn’t break either sides down Theo’s recent inclusion has been very refreshing. I didn’t have the chance to post last week but a point I wanted to make was that West Brom took the same approach as Swansea & […]
FA Cup Starting Elevens Prediction Special – Decision Time!
TBIF – The Weekly Gunners Town Crew Review Friday The 22nd May, 2015 Welcome to FA Cup Final Thank Bergkamp It’s Friday – This week it is a TBIF with a difference as instead of reviewing the Arsenal week we have simply asked our crew if they want to select their own Wembley 11. We have asked they […]
Walcott, Rosicky and Wilshere in with Giroud, Cazorla and Ramsey out for final?
Having followed Arsenal since the late 1990s, I have seen a lot of success come our way. I was fortunate enough to see many of Arsenal’s top players of the day on TV playing and winning important fixtures in that time, like Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Marc Overmars, Ray Parlour, Patrick Vieira… the list goes […]
Between The Lines – What Walcott brought, What Arsenal exploited and What it all means
When the announcement of the line-up came through yesterday, I was hoping to see two things: Walcott up top, through the middle Jack Wilshere in the center with Santi/Alexis in the wide areas We all know which one of these two we saw. Wenger had recently spoken of finally moving Theo up top, through the […]
Has Mr.Theodore James Walcott given Monsieur Arsene Wenger a Selection headache, along with Wilshere as Santi pulls the strings
The Premier League season drew to a close yesterday and some of the results were, how shall I put it, quite unexpected. Aside from us thrashing West Brom (I think even the most optimistic of us couldn’t predict such a scoreline), we have: Burnley beating Aston Villa away despite being relegated long before the game, […]
Result & Performance v West Brom now CRITICAL – We need lay down a marker to frighten Aston Villa
Despite more or less nailing third place, the West Brom game has become massively important. Not because it’s a chance to use some squad players and rest our big guns, and not because it’s our last home game of the season, but because we need to show Aston Villa that their game plan won’t work. […]
Number 13 proved lucky for impotent Arsenal against Sunderland. But who will save us in the FA Cup?
TBIF – The Weekly Gunners Town Crew Review Friday The 22nd May, 2015 Welcome to Thank Bergkamp It’s Friday – where members of the Gunners Town writing team gather to take a look at the Arsenal week that’s just passed. It’s a simple format, really – each week, a smattering of our eclectic scribes will select a HERO, a VILLAIN, a HIGHLIGHT, and a LOWLIGHT from […]
Time to rest Ramsey, Sanchez, Cazorla and Giroud all dead on their feet against Sunderland – But for who? MOZART Please!
If you came here today to see me bemoan the dropped points, you can turn right around because I won’t. I probably would have done that had we lost, but when your team attacks for 90 minutes out of 95, manages 28 shots and has 76% possession, well, that’s what I call an effort and […]
