If I hear the phrase ‘You’ve been caught by the Hurri-Kane’ one more time, I will swing for someone. Honestly. Yes The Spuds won. Yes we were outplayed. The Spuds came out with a game plan & I’m afraid to say, it worked. After 20 minutes, we had 11 men behind the ball, full backs that […]

NLD Review – It is time for more mobility in attack, it is time for Chuba.
After the loss to Tottenham with no chance of a response again this season, I will honestly admit I’m enraged! It means that we have failed to beat them this year that is always damaging to our pride as the far superior club. It’s hard to pinpoint where we went wrong but being the world […]
Villa too easy but the real test of the New Arsenal is at the Lane tomorrow
Captain’s Log, star-date 1,0,7,9 point 12. We’re interrupting our 5-year mission to head back to Earth for the North London derby. Exploring the final frontier can wait. Aston Villa Watching the game at the weekend I couldn’t help but think that this is the worst Villa side I’ve seen since David O’Leary was in charge. […]
Is it Crazy to say this Arsenal squad could win the Premier League? Maybe Not!
“Arsenal don’t have any squad depth!” That must be the reason why today it’s virtually impossible to pick a starting XI without leaving out one or two excellent players. Mesut Özil and Theo Walcott made their comebacks recently, Aaron Ramsey did the same a bit earlier while, with perfect timing, Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and […]
Arsenal admit defeat in Julian Draxler deal after getting rub of the green at Tottenham Hotspur?
A belated Happy St Patrick’s Day! While the majority of the country were making their way to work yesterday morning in a miniature state of depression, with the knowledge that the sunny weekend has come to an end and the reality of returning to plugging away for another five days beckons, the mood among Arsenal […]
Arsenal to assess on-loan starlet before spending in the summer transfer window; the need for momentum and FA Cup glory
Hello and welcome back to my Gunners Town blog. Don’t adjust the date on your phones, it is a Thursday, and it is the work of me (Matt Cotton) appearing before your very eyes. You see, I’m kind of the Mathieu Flamini of the Gunners Town team; not particularly attractive, but willing to fill in […]
Arsenal’s failed £40m deadline day bid – No room for both Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta – Patience pays off against Crystal Palace
Good afternoon Gooners. After a couple of weeks off for various reasons, I’m back today and ready to delve into all things Arsenal. It’s be a rollercoaster 2014 so far, where we have already felt the highs, lows, nerves and joy that football tends to throw at us on an all too frequent basis. We’re […]
Why Spurs are to thank for Arsenal’s Premier League title surge this season
Thank You Tottenham Hotspur ? 3rd March 2013 was a day that all Arsenal fans dread. It was a day of defeat in the North London Derby. It was the start of a 24 hour period of Facebook silence for me, with my status being “I love Tottenham Hotspur” (a long running bet I have […]
Arsenal’s potential striker targets, Theo Walcott’s injury and a Happy New Year
Good day to you all, fellow Gooners. I hope this column finds you all well, and enjoying your 2014 so far. Sadly, whilst the latest Arsenal result (more on that later) had been extremely gratifying, this year has been costly so far… Firstly, my daughter has joined a nursery, who will entertain the little gremlin […]
Arsenal frustrating, Arsenal not convincing, but Arsenal WINNING – The Scott Davis Rant
There was an air of inevitability about Sunday’s result at Old Trafford which put Chelsea one point clear of us in third, having played a game less. Manchester United, championship sewn up, lined up with a side missing the likes of David de Gea, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney to name a few. […]
