I then got further angst when the Arsenal twitterverse jumped on the #playOzil@10 bandwagon. I was finally forced to the power […]

That Bergkamp Goal v Newcastle Part 2 – Did he really meant it? Ask Wrighty and Henry
Welcome to Part 2 of my previous post which looks at one of Dennis Bergkamp’s greatest goals. I had asked if this goal was discussed in his book ‘Stillness and Speed; lo and behold, it was! Not only does Dennis talk about it but so do Wrighty and Henry. Both Henry and Wright have been […]
Julian Draxler – Genuine Arsenal target or Media Hype? – GT Report from Germany.
It’s been a while since my last post for Gunners Town. Apologies for that but being busy with my book launch and blog in Germany didn’t leave that much time. After Sky Germany broke the story about Julian Draxler edging closer to a Schalke exit I thought now is a good time to get back […]
Thierry Henry Thursday – A look back at special goals, Arsenal v Chelsea 04/05
The high of the cup win has started to wear off and the reality of the season break is beginning to sink in.

I support Arsenal for the ‘Arsenal Way’ – How about you?
This is a question I’ve been asked pretty often in the last three years, ever since my university journey began. “Why do you support Arsenal?” Of course, the question is posed by neutrals, not by Arsenal fans or, indeed, any football fans. My replies varied. I felt obliged (most of the time) to say something […]
