“The Premier League is a very important championship, perhaps the most important in Europe. Everybody would one day like the opportunity to work there.” – Leonardo Jardim That opportunity may come sooner rather than later for the Venezuelan native, following a broad spectrum of news outlets have reported in recent days. However, there’s a […]
Probably the single thing that sums up the current situation at Arsenal best is that I’m hoping for our game today to be called off due to weather conditions in London. It’ll likely go ahead and I’ll have to write about another defeat come Friday. Even the fact we are playing at home does little […]
Dear Fellow Gunners, In the last few weeks we have fallen further behind in the League, lost limply to Nottm Forest in the FA Cup, struggled through to the next round of the Europa League and been beaten soundly by Man City in the League Cup Final – a bad run interspersed with some wins […]
Well before the game I knew we were the underdogs for the final. I’ve seen City play countless times this season, and I knew they can be a handful for just about anyone. Our only slim hopes of beating them rested on defensive discipline and piling pressure on their fullbacks. Even so it was obvious […]
Arsenal 0-3 City Carabao Cup Final review So it’s not been another day of Wembley glory. City were the better team overall, and we just lacked the capacity to handle their intensity in the second half. On Sky Sports, Martin Tyler said that “we never got going”, and it was true. We just were not able […]
It’s amazing to think that, despite the atrocious season we are having, some saving grace is still possible. Yet, going into today’s game, it’s exactly where we are. While the Europa League as a possible scalp for Arsene Wenger’s side remains a remote possibility for now, the League Cup final can provide some balm for […]
We’ve heard the phrase time and time again: “Arsene Wenger doesn’t do tactics.” If you have been watching Arsenal for any length of time, you know this over-generalization is simply not true. A manager of his pedigree with 34 years of experience does indeed tailor specific game plans for specific opponents. The above phrase needs […]
I’m not the usual match previewer here on Gunners Town – but I thought I’d give it a bash. How hard can it be? First, a little background on tonight’s opponents… Background “Östersund” means ‘wheelbarrow’ in Swedish, and it’s quite appropriate, since the entire population could fit in a wheelbarrow. A very big wheelbarrow. Not […]
So after the more than disappointing North London Derby a lot of the media have been using Lacazette as a scapegoat. Lacazette’s recent performances have doubtlessly been very short of his best but is this criticism fair? After Giroud’s performance for Chelsea on Monday night I’m sure a lot of Arsenal fans will be kicking […]
With the Europa League game very soon, and the prospect of winning a third European trophy, I wanted to lighten our negative mood. And not just after losing to the scum. But in our inconsistent displays and weak mentality. Opinions will naturally differ, but these are my favourite European games*: Arsenal 7-0 Sparta Prague 1993/94 […]
