I’m still standing (With apologies to Elton John) With the recent release of Rocketman (not sponsoring this article but if Paramount are reading ???), I started humming some Elton John tracks. Then ‘I’m still standing’ popped into my head and then so did Carl Jenkinson. I’m Still Standing: Starring Carl Jenkinson You could never […]
If it doesn’t make you laugh, it will make you cry. There was a young man called Alexi Who wanted to play for Man City We turned down 60 million Swapped him for Mykhitaryan At United he’s sh!te, what a pity Jack Wilshire a Gooner for life His place in the squad was in strife […]
The board and Gazidis, with the catalyst for change, are seemingly progressing. The change, as it stands, is apparently happening. Wenger, the great man, has gone. Wilshere has gone. New coaches are here. And new players are arriving. And we’re doing transfers early for a change, without any last minute rush. So it’s understandable that […]
Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ Wilshere Moment On February 16, 2011, the world saw one of the greatest midfield performances in European club football history, all by a 19 year old footballer from Arsenal football club, a youngster who had the world at his feet, and two legends, Xavi and Iniesta, in the back of his pocket. Jack […]
As I began my research on Atletico Madrid, one ideal became evident: the club is Arsenal’s polar opposite. The juxtaposition of these sides is clear and should make for an incredible 2-legged tie. Under Simeone, Atletico embody an identity based on organisation, discipline, and graft in a system where roles are meticulously ingrained. On the […]
When I looked at the team sheet before the game I knew all I needed to: Wenger ditched the Premier League entirely to save players for the Europa League. That is a reasonable approach, one I have been advocating for even before the Milan games. I thought we would see a somewhat stronger side still […]
I guess it shouldn’t have been a surprise really. Even from an early age, my eyes were focused on midfield flair and technicality. The ability to dictate a game without scoring fascinated me. Very much a product of the “Fifa Generation,” the likes of Nedved, Deco, Zidane, Ronaldinho, and Figo became my favorites. Mercurial talents […]
As we all know, things aren’t well with us at the moment, particularly when it comes to the league. However, thinking positively, we still have the Europa cup to play for, and the possibility of a Champions League spot using the Chelsea/United backdoor. With the first knock-out round kicking off at AC Milan’s San Siro […]
We visit Brighton today as the search for some semblance of form goes on. I have to admit it’s been quite a while since I’ve felt this down before writing a preview. Possibly it compares to the events of 2016, when, after beating Leicester, we went on to lose to United and and Swansea. Right […]
With the long awaited and much anticipated news that Pierre Eric Aubameyang is on his way, barring any last minute hitches, to North London we have asked our regular Gunners Town writers and contributors to consider how he will fit in. Where does PEA’s arrival potentially leave or previous record signing. Alexandre Lacazette and how […]
