I must admit I was very worried before the game yesterday. St. Mary’s has become a hard place to visit in recent seasons. Southampton have also been a problem at the Emirates – our two last League Cup exits are a testament to that. However what we witnessed was a mature performance from an Arsenal […]
So rumours say that Arsenal have approached Michael Zorc of Borussia Dortmund to become our new coach. Apparently at the request of Gazidis. You may recall that he said that we had reached a catalyst for change. We could not go on as we had this year. Apparently Wenger would then move upstairs. Unfortunately no […]
It’s Southampton away in a couple of hours as our unlikely quest for a top 4 spot continues. The Saints have become somewhat a bogey team for Arsenal lately, with the Gunners losing the previous two league fixtures at St. Mary’s. Both were notable losses too: the first made the manager drop Szczesny and subsequently […]
When you think about summer signings this season not many get spoken of so frequently as Granit Xhaka, it seems you’ve either got fans complaining he fouls too much or pundits jumping on his back as soon as they get a chance to chime in on the Swiss international. For me he is becoming a […]
Hello there dear readers of Gunners Town, quite a long break from me and I do apologise for that although this might be a bit of a rare blog anyway since the topic itself is so temporary. Arsene Wenger’s press conference this morning sparked a flurry of activity I have not seen before and with […]
It’s amazing how much of a difference one win can make. Suddenly the season doesn’t look beyond salvation, the players don’t look beyond caring and the formation doesn’t look like a stop-gap solution. However what I think made this win stand out was: a) we’ve beaten a top six side b) this side is spearheaded […]
We face Manchester United today, but the game will definitely miss the spark of an important rivalry. It’s 5th vs 6th, and even a win won’t move Arsenal above United. In the end, whether we finish the campaign 5th or 6th doesn’t really matter. I have next to no hope we can break into the […]
I feel like in the last couple of months I’ve traveled every road in terms of covering Arsenal losses. Home and away, league and Europe, big and small margin, tough opponents and weaker sides, mostly bearable and totally destructive. Yesterday’s loss to Spurs probably wasn’t anything I hasn’t been party to. As someone rightly noted […]
As we head into the weekend that could well represent the watershed for Wenger and Arsenal in 2016/17 and beyond, we are delighted to present a lovely and quite unusual piece from ‘The Arsenal Circular’, Graham Perry. Tomorrow our beloved Gunners will walk out at Wembley in an FA Cup Semi Final with so much […]
Hello Gooners, I hope you are satisfied with the win at the Riverside Stadium, although the performance wasn’t as convincing as it should have been. There’s been a lot of talk about Arsène Wenger’s decision to play three centre-halves and two wing-backs, a lot of people were surprised by this sudden change and so was […]
