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 […]
Whether you’re Wenger in, Wenger out or indeed if you’re Wenger shake it all about, there is a distinct desire for something to be done at Arsenal to change recent fortunes. The lily white neighbours are getting a little too smug and the media are having a little much too fun writing off Arsenal’s demise. […]
Not “If”, but “When” Nobody can say for sure when Wenger will leave Arsenal -except Arséne himself, of course – but the beleaguered manager has to go eventually. Surely? Most, it would seem, would prefer sooner rather than later. A bigger question might be: who is going to replace him? Events this summer indicate […]
If I were a neutral, or a fan of some mid-table PL club, who only casually follows Arsenal by means of checking the results, I would be astonished this morning. How can top-level club, seemingly fighting for the top 4, smash Palace 4-1 and then go down to Swansea inside 10 days? How can that […]
It’s the early kick-off for the North London derby today, as Arsenal play what will be their last league game for almost three weeks. Certainly a space oddity if you ask me, but it’s down to cup games in-between. It won’t be three weeks of rest for the Gunners of course, because Wenger’s men still […]
Upcoming matches against Tottenham conjure up a unique reaction, a simultaneous feeling of overwhelming nausea and excitement. The only thing I feel it is comparable to is first talking to a girl you “like” during your adolescent years–that perfect blend of anxiety shaped by the possibility of enduring both agony and ecstasy. It needs to […]
Think back to the Invincibles Era and try to remember the brilliant moments that have come to encapsulate it. I’m guessing most had some modicum of direct, forward-thinking play that progressed us rapidly into the next phase of attack: how I define Transitional Play. It seems the best teams of late have had a clear […]
Arsenal 5-1 Everton With the introduction of PEA and Mkhi, and both of them contributing to this fine win vs Everton, we’re still adapting to life after “Alexit”. Do you miss Alexis? Well, thus far, the team doesn’t. Our two new boys had good games, with Mkhi being man of the match. Our old boy […]
By Guest Writer Arse Or Brain The debate rages on: the following article is a well-thought out response in the comments section of a Gunners Town article by Nick Birch posted earlier, that suggests the following: It would be better to fix the thing that is breaking the team, than trying to fix the team […]
