I think that we can all agree that last night’s match was dreadful to watch. Sunderland came to the Emirates with only one idea: stifle the match and earn the draw that they needed to stay up. Sadly, it seemed that Arsenal only arrived with one idea too: pass it around the edge of the […]

Game time for Walcott, Wilshere and Sczcezny at Emirates tonight
We face Sunderland today in what will be the last match in the 37th round of Premier League games. Man, time really flies. One minute you were scrapping a win against Palace with a late Aaron Ramsey winner, next thing you know there are two league games left to play. Luckily for us, we also […]
The defeat by Swansea proved that Arsenal CAN win the League not that we can’t
The defeat I was as surprised by the Swansea defeat as anyone, but I was more surprised by some of the fans reactions afterwards. I don’t consider myself an AKB, and certainly earlier on in the season I thought Wenger should go, but I’ve come to realise that perhaps I was wrong and I thought […]
Technology broke Gooner hearts – but this Villain’s tears cheered us up…
TBIF – The Weekly Gunners Town Crew Review Friday The 15th 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 […]
O Feo, O Feo, Wherefore Art Thou Feo? The Walcott tragedy unfolds…
O Romeo, O Romeo, Wherefore Art Thou Romeo? This famous line is uttered by Juliet, in Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, to herself in a state of dichotomy – she loves a man who she must not because of his lineage; a rival family. Why does he have to be Romeo? If he was anyone else, […]
Arsenal 0 Swansea 1 – Sadly ‘Good Old Arsenal!!!’
“As Valencia’s deflected shot found the bottom corner I stared at the screen in disbelief. The sense of unreality swept over me. For a good while longer than a few seconds I’ve been (fruitlessly) trying to persuade myself that this wasn’t happening. This could not be happening. Simply because everything about this goal was so […]
Alexis, Monreal, Coquelin – The Bermuda Triangle where opposition attacks disappear!
Hull Hull had a very specific plan in place for us. It was a good plan, and it had worked against Liverpool, but we are (by some distance) a better side than Liverpool, and where the strengths of the plan paid off against Rogers side it’s weaknesses were mercilessly exploited by us. Another problem that Steve […]
4 Games in 13 Days for our best finish in 10 years as up to 22 fight for 11 places at Wembley :-)
I finally got around to watching the Hull vs. Arsenal match yesterday (thank you DVR) – I’ve seen and heard reviews praising Arsenal’s performance. I thought that AFC were good on the day, but not as blindingly brilliant as some have claimed. It was a game of missed chances for Hull, poor refereeing from Lee […]
If only CFC expired as much energy in dealing with accusations of Racism as they have with being Boring and Hull v Arsenal Preview
Team news At this point in time there’s not much to dissect in terms of team news. We didn’t sustain any fresh injures against Chelsea. Our only absentee will be Mathieu Debuchy, who has a bit of hamstring problem, poor fella. On the upside, Arteta and Oxlade may return soon if not for our visit […]
Arsenal are missing the one ‘Special’ Player but who is this exciting Summer Addition? Bale, Reus, Costa,Dybala or Fekir?
Category A game – CFC at home – Big boy football. Cannot help but feel underwhelmed this week but playing big games get you thinking or at least it should do. Now I’ve had time to think a 0-0 at home vs. the new Champions and not doing a MUFC at home (play well […]
