Unsung Heroes! Insomnia has a lot of side effects. My father suffers from it, I have had bouts of it but neither of us have ever signed Arsenal’s first ever Brazilian player because of it. Arsenal.com explains how Silvinho dropped onto (then) chief Scout Steve Rowley’s radar: “I couldn’t get to sleep one night,” Steve […]
I struggled to think this week. Arsenal news and events were limited by an International break, and with the transfer window closed, gossip has been temporarily restrained as well. It is currently Thursday evening, and up until this point I have failed to think of a sensible topic to address in this column, so have […]
Another brilliant post from Gunners Town guest writer @petitsponytail. Be sure to follow him on Twitter… — World class striker? You’re having a laugh Every day since this Godforsaken painstaking transfer window opened all I’ve seen is people calling for this mythical world class striker. It’s quite simple, my fellow Gooners – there’re only six […]
These are not meant to be the top Arsenal moments but what I believe gave the best Arsenal theatre on TV. Please feel free to disagree & comment with your TV greats: 10 – ‘He may be cast in bronze, but he’s still capable of golden moments’ 9 – The Battle at Old […]

Today’s Arsenal unsung hero is a bit of a left-field shout. it is a fair to say that he had a fairly unassuming Arsenal career, and there isn’t really one single standout moment from him wearing the Arsenal colours…but…for me, he was part of one of the most exciting summers that I can remember. He […]
Before Arsene Wenger, whilst still seeing out his contract in Japan, instructed David Dein to but Patrick Vieira Arsenal had not employed a Frenchman. In reality Paddy was the first and Arsene the second but since then our manager has frequently popped back to his homeland and returned with a bargain or two. We have […]
Well it seems Top 10s are the theme of this week on Gunners Town. They are always a very entertaining exercise and not wishing to miss out of the fun here is my contribution Previous posts on this site by guests or fellow writers brought back a lot of memories – both good and bad […]
In what is essentially a follow-up to Gary’s worst 10 moments, I decided to liven things up with my BEST 10 moments. Keep in mind I can only talk about those I’ve seen with my own eyes, so I’ll only cover the period from 2005 onwards. I’ll list them in chronological order. Hope you’ll enjoy […]
It is a very subjective subject, of course, so I hope it inspires some discussion below the post in the comments, but here are my Dozen Best Wenger Signings, from 1996 – 2015. Why 12? Why not?! It’s like a reverse ‘Dirty Dozen!’ Fees are those as stated on the superlative Arsenalreport.com’s Transfer Centre. These […]
