Another win, another home clean sheet. I think I can get used to that. Pity the season is almost over, we’ve just about found our groove. West Brom didn’t do us any favours at the Etihad, so Man City are basically out of reach. There are five goals between the teams, so we’ll need to […]

‘The Top 5 Vital Goals Arsenal Conceded that Could have been Avoided with 3-4-2-1’
Maybe it’s the warmer weather, increased sun exposure, the fact they will no longer have to train with the likes of Sanogo much longer, or whatever it may be, Arsenal always seems to to end a season strong. Arsene Wenger receives a lot of criticism for his lack of adaptability and in-game management, but let’s […]
Xhaka and Koscielny to miss out – Balancing the Squad is Key for the vists to St Marys
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 […]
The Ox’s Star is in the Ascendancy and Ramsey’s Rising again as Gunners Blow Jose Away
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 […]
It Needs to be Rob if Wenger is ‘Holding’ on to the Back 3 for visit of United
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 […]
Tottenham: Our Enemy and Our Antithesis have embraced the Dark Arts we have lost!
Tottenham is the enemy. Always has been; always will be. It will take sustained success as well as actual trophies in their cabinet, however, before there can be a sensible conversation about a “power shift”. That being said, it’s not against the rules to respect your enemy and see things from its perspective. I would […]
How the new Stylistically Flexible Wenger might line Arsenal up to win all the key remaining fixtures
Our last two games have been a breath of fresh air for Arsenal fans. A new formation, two wins, and the sense of optimism that we can adapt stylistically to an ever-evolving Premier League. While the 3-4-2-1 formation is gaining the majority of the recognition, and rightly so, my eyes have been telling me that […]
Diving Into Arsenal’s Two Biggest Issues
Arsenal is in an awful place – there is no argument about that. For this piece I’m going to look past contract negotiations, locker room disharmony and public displays of protest in favor of statistics. Statistics that I hope will shed light on the issues my eyes have been telling me are the two biggest […]
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 […]
