On occasions when our manager and players have failed to deliver in games, some of our supporters including myself, have criticised them, so by the same token, it’s only fair that we praise them when they do perform. After previously questioning some of Mikel Arteta’s tactics and decisions, it was perhaps inevitable that I would […]
Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal – 14 years is way too long! This isn’t a peak Man United side by no means. Yes, they finished third last season and have some top players like Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, and now Cavani. But to win at Old Trafford after 14 years with some debasing defeats (8-2), […]
It’s not in the Headlines POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES My son Maxwell asks me the same question each week after his football match. He asks me, ‘How did I do, Dad?’ All parents reading this can relate. We all get a similar question. We all probably feel the same way about our response. We tell […]
The title race is over. In January. A rampant Liverpool side is already 13 points clear (with a game in hand) and are on a 37-game undefeated streak that is rapidly approaching the 49, 49 Undefeated… achieved by Arsenal’s 2003/4 “Invincibles”. That Liverpool may go the season undefeated seems more likely than not. Most Arsenal […]
The early stages of the 2019-20 campaign have been mostly positive for Arsenal. Unai Emery’s side won each of their first two fixtures of the season before a 3-1 setback at Anfield in matchweek 3. There’s no shame in losing a game at Anfield with the way Liverpool are currently constructed, and there were a […]
I believe the 2018/19 Premier League season is a sign of things to come… With one match to play and so many positions still in contention -including top of the log – it is a sign of the growing competitiveness in the top European football leagues, and in particular the English League, with its vast […]
I asked a few of the Gunners Town writers to give me their Top 6 predictions for the Premier League season 18/19. Obviously the transfer window is still open and things could change – but the one thing about the Premier League is that things are ALWAYS changing:. injuries, meltdowns, surprise losses… It’s a rollercoaster […]
Looking at their recent performances, it won’t be wrong to say that Arsenal are going through a tough time. But it doesn’t mean we won’t support our team, right? That’s what true fans do. Stand up and cheer for the team. We’re looking forward to seeing Arsenal get back on track as we list the […]
Does Mesut Ozil do it in the big games? Mesut Ozil, our once record signing, is a divisive figure amongst us fans. Nobody, really, questions his innate quality. In raw technical terms, only perhaps Dennis Bergkamp or Santi Cazorla can surpass him. However, he is not as consistent as he could be, and in […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes Well, those were 4 ridiculous goals! If you’d see the goals only, you wouldn’t think you were watching elite players. The game itself was a true test as Utd (as ever) gave at least 100% effort even if they are a team with no offensive plan. Halfway through the second half […]
