If ever a 24 hours summed up Arsenal Football Club in 2018, it’s this last set. From the utter despair of yet another Premier League away day – complete with comedic howler – Wednesday has seen us sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and tie down Mesut Ozil before lunchtime. In truth, I’m not sure how to […]
Finally. Finally what has been the most drawn out transfer saga in recent memory came to an end at the top of the new week. Alexis swapped Colney for Carrington and the Armenian god Mkhitaryan came to North London where frequently parked buses are not regularly seen. Initially the word around town was that we […]
Courtesy Arsenal Media Henrikh Mkhitaryan has signed for Arsenal on a long-term contract in a deal which sees Alexis Sanchez join Manchester United. Henrikh made 39 appearances while at Manchester United, scoring five times and was part of their UEFA Europa League winning squad last season. He is the captain of the Armenian national team […]
Hello dear readers and patrons of Gunnerstown! What a time to be back and alive in the Arsenal blogosphere. I would wish to explain away my absence due to a couple of life-changing academic examinations that I had to undertake in the past few months, as well as the dire straits of Arsenal Football Club […]
It seems not so long ago we have played Palace away in that crazy 3-2 win … And indeed it wasn’t that long ago, just a day over three weeks back. You do get those reverse fixtures around New Year. Chelsea, for instance, are facing Brighton for the second time in a matter of weeks. […]
Arsenal, how the mighty have fallen. And how we’re allowing the sore to grow. The latest defeat to Bournemouth highlights how far we’ve fallen. But why do we allow the sore to fester? We’re sick. But then we’re not resolving the sickness. I feel like we’re viewing a bad cut, and not making any effort […]
I have been writing for Gunners Town now for two years and sending comments in for a year before that. I have varied between ecstatic praise to gut wrenching despair and utter frustration. We are now in a position of desperation which I did predict about 18 months ago. The comments from fellow contributors have […]
The ordinary era: identity under threat. This season has been different to others. Normally we start brightly, collapse mid-winter before recovering enough for a top 4 battle and FA cup grab at the end. While I love the FA cup and I’m thankful for being able to see my team regularly lift it at […]
I distinctly remember the feature in The Sun. Across the page was a headline about Arsenal’s future, with three pictures of players underneath. “The new Vieira, the new Kanu and the new Henry,” the piece proudly said, along with each of the price tags the club was set to pay per player. Emmanuel Adebayor of […]
It’s not Antiquated Arsene, it’s not Short-armed Stan, it’s the Kit !!!!!!! Since moving to The Emirates, we have not had the success that we were promised or expected. The majority of fans lay the blame for this at the door of Arsene. the owner and the board. But…… I actually believe that they are […]
