The Arsenal has finally found its way into the safe harbour of Port Win after making its way through several obstacles. First as it set sail from the happy ports of Swansea City, the weather seemed wonderful and we got lulled into a false sense of security. Ahead we thought was familiar land, land which […]
Well, well…its back in our hands, as Mesut Özil told the world via Twitter. After one of the most underwhelming starts to a European campaign in recent years, we have now one chance to go beyond the group stage and get in the mix with Europe’s élite when the competition starts again. Before thinking about […]
Last year, when changes to the seeding system were announced, Arsenal fans were both outraged and excited. Outraged because the new system meant only champions would be seeded in the first pot. Our chances at becoming champions last year at that stage looked, let’s put it mildly, slim. However, the fans were also excited to […]
Manchester United Van Gaal wanted to surprise Arsene Wenger with his team selection on Sunday. By opting to omit Valencia, (who did well against Alexis last season), move Darmian to the right and install Ashely Young at left back I have no doubt Wenger was surprised. Pleasantly surprised. I said last week that our best […]
In the past few months we at Gunners Town, both Editors and writers have been overwhelmed by the interaction with the site of one man – Victor Thompson What began as the occasional respectful and insightful comment became a regular flow of comments which I know our writing team value and appreciate. The comments became […]
Barely have I finished watching the last replay of Sanchez’s delicious near-post heel flick, that the picture disappeared from my screen. Despite me watching a regular broadcast (yes, I made it in time) and not a stream from some website. I was calm for two reasons: I know such a thing sometimes happens and I […]
Cazorla is not bringing enough to the deeper role – it’s time to build around Ramsey. Another disappointing evening in Europe for Arsenal, which effectively makes our task near impossible with two heavyweight ties against Bayern pending. What I wanted to discuss was the major flaws of Santi Cazorla and the very little he brings […]
by Guest Writer Who is Arsenal’s best current penalty taker? The Gunners are currently flying high in the Premier League and sit fourth after seven matches, just three points behind leaders Manchester City. Arsene Wenger’s men have scored ten goals this season but are yet to receive a penalty kick, although they felt […]
Initially I had no intention of writing the review. Not because I was fuming at the result (I was, though), but because the game was lost courtesy of a highly incompetent Dean. Why write about something so trivial and done to death already? I mean, how many times can we say Mike Dean was horrible? […]
I’ll start my review with two simple facts: Jack Butland would be my MoM if I could have voted him. The man made 10 saves. That’s more than Petr Cech against Liverpool (8). If you can’t enjoy the win and the performance because Arsenal were quite profligate again (or for any other reason), I suggest […]
