I’m still standing (With apologies to Elton John) With the recent release of Rocketman (not sponsoring this article but if Paramount are reading ???), I started humming some Elton John tracks. Then ‘I’m still standing’ popped into my head and then so did Carl Jenkinson. I’m Still Standing: Starring Carl Jenkinson You could never […]
Theo, What have you done for me lately? Not a big Janet Jackson fan, but not a big Theo fan either Once upon a time you were the next big thing When you signed, we bigged you up all time Sven believed and took with the team to Germany But that was just a […]
“PICK OF THE BUNCH.” BATE Borisov (2) Arsenal (4) Europa League From match-day to match-day there are certain individuals in the Arsenal team whose performance leaves them standing head and shoulders above the rest. The ones whose blood, sweat and tears are shed to ensure the team wins or at least makes a good attempt […]
“An enigma wrapped in a paradox and shrouded in a conundrum” Gunners Town’s thoughts on Theo. During the past week, the Gunners Town Collective have been discussing the enigma that is Theo Walcott. Over the past 11 years, he has divided the fan base on his potential and position in the team. Firstly @ArsenalNWales: […]
Maybe it’s the warmer weather, increased sun exposure, the fact they will no longer have to train with the likes of Sanogo much longer, or whatever it may be, Arsenal always seems to to end a season strong. Arsene Wenger receives a lot of criticism for his lack of adaptability and in-game management, but let’s […]
With work related travel taking up a huge part of the last three weeks, I’ve been unable to post my column per my usual schedule. In a way, I count this as a blessing in disguise. It has shielded me from what has been such a toxic and painful month for Arsenal and Arsenal fans […]
The greatest threat to Arsenal’s title chances, is Arsenal. We seamlessly transition from the stratospheric heights of sublime perfection to the abysmal depths of hopeless ineptitude. When Arsenal fans are knocking on heaven’s doors, they are advised to declare that they support Arsenal. The range of emotions that one experiences as an Arsenal supporter is quite […]
Manchester United Van Gaal wanted to surprise Arsene Wenger with his team selection on Sunday. By opting to omit Valencia, (who did well against Alexis last season), move Darmian to the right and install Ashely Young at left back I have no doubt Wenger was surprised. Pleasantly surprised. I said last week that our best […]
Still no wins at the Emirates this season, how frustrating! As pointed out by the usually very zealous media outlets, we failed to score at home in five of our last six outings, which is also very frustrating. I think there is enough evidence to say that we *might* need tactical adjustments ahead of the […]
Crystal Palace Last week I wrote this; “…it wouldn’t surprise me if we played narrow again with the intention of forcing them to match our shape.” We did indeed play quite narrow, but with a very specific shape which Andrea suggested was very much like a 4-2-2-2. Watching the game back I began to notice […]
