Arsene is a square peg and the players are a round hole. The Arsenal Way Fast, fluid attacking football, with an emphasis on counter attacking. That is the Arsenal way, or should I say the Arsene way, because we certainly didn’t play that way under George Graham or Bruce Rioch. Perhaps I should even say […]

Arsene’s Trust Bank Hits An All-Time Low
Gunners Town is pleased to host this guest post by James Howson (@BigJimmy_V) Is Arsene running out of trust? On Saturday after defeat to West Brom, during the post-match press conference Arsene Wenger disclosed that he has made a decision about his future, that he hasn’t told anyone and we will soon find out what […]
Arsenal Crushed by the Weight of Wenger’s Waiting Game
Will he stay or will he go? Not sure about you, but I’m really sick of Arsène Wenger’s new contract saga and, for one, found absolutely clumsy – at best – and disrespectful what he said post-West Brom, when he claimed he made a decision and “we will know soon. Very soon.” This is not […]
Highbury Didn’t Die For This – A Brutal Assessment by a Veteran Gooner
What is going on at our football club?! I’m a disgruntled season ticket holder who’s been going along to watch The Arsenal for over 50 years now and I’m finding it increasingly hard to justify paying over a £1,000 a season to watch a bunch of under-performing, pampered prima donnas. I can’t ever remember the […]

It is Time for his Seconds to take Punch-Drunk Wenger out of the Ring, before he is Knocked out
Like many Arsenal fans I am absolutely gutted at the state my club is in. However, I do actually feel very sad about what has become of our once outstanding manager. His current situation reminds so much of the demise of another wonderful manager Brian Clough. The pressure and strain told physically and mentally on Cloughie […]
Blaze of Glory Arsene: Exit Champions League Looking Forwards, Not Backwards
Going forward, not looking backwards !!!! March came to pass and here we are again; As usual we are trying our hardest to remove ourselves from the top 4 in the Premier League. With no disrespect to Lincoln, we will meet a top 6 side in the FA Cup semi and probably stuff that up […]
With Arsenal at a Crossroads now as they were in 1995 – Which is the Right Road for the Future?
1995 and today…..some key parallels. 1995 was the last truly “bad” year for Arsenal. Things weren’t good. Maybe it’s being spoilt by Wenger, I don’t know. But good or bad are relative terms. Compared to pre-Graham even, it was in some ways our worst season since the mid-1970s. Namely: We finished 12th place Bar Seaman, […]
