Burnley. We knew what to expect from Burnley. It was always going to be tough, it was always going to be a bit scrappy. Here’s the thing though, this team can win tough, scrappy games. We have robust players like Coquelin, (how good was he yesterday), Alexis and Giroud. Even Özil has more bulk to […]
TBIF – The Weekly Gunners Town Crew Review Friday The 10th April, 2015 Welcome to Thank Bergkamp It’s Friday – where members of the Gunners Town writing team gather to take a look at the Arsenal week that’s just passed. It’s a simple format, really – each week, a smattering of our eclectic scribes will select a HERO, a VILLAIN, a HIGHLIGHT, and a LOWLIGHT from […]
After a slow start to the season, with inconsistent performances home and away, are we finally seeing the best of this Arsenal squad? Last weekend’s 4-1 win against Liverpool was a fantastic performance – maybe the best of the season. Though the opening months of the season weren’t always great to watch, Arséne Wenger was still trying to […]
Actual football returns as we take on Liverpool at the Emirates in what is probably the most important game during the run-in. Win, and we open a nine-point gap on the Mugmashers and maintain at least a seven-point one on Spurs and Southampton. However, Liverpool is a dangerous team to play right now, exactly because […]
Gunners Town is delighted to be one of the few sites to whom Arsenal Football Club sends exclusive promotional material (and the occasional invite to launches/screenings/book signings etc). It’s one of the perks of maintaining a daily presence, blogging about the Goonerverse, I suppose! We’re looking forward to the day that we get sent transfer scoops – […]
Newcastle I said last week that in theory the Newcastle game should be an easy three points, but that easy games in the league were rare. Well it panned out that scoring the two goals that won the game was easy, and hanging on for the three points afterwards was hard. It felt to me […]
After the loss to Tottenham with no chance of a response again this season, I will honestly admit I’m enraged! It means that we have failed to beat them this year that is always damaging to our pride as the far superior club. It’s hard to pinpoint where we went wrong but being the world […]
Captain’s Log, star-date 1,0,7,9 point 12. We’re interrupting our 5-year mission to head back to Earth for the North London derby. Exploring the final frontier can wait. Aston Villa Watching the game at the weekend I couldn’t help but think that this is the worst Villa side I’ve seen since David O’Leary was in charge. […]
Captain’s log star-date something something something point 2. I’ve been sitting in my Captain’s chair for 8 hours staring at the stars on the viewscreen. I’m so bored. I want to start a war or something to spice things up. I’m gonna hail the nearest Klingon ship and call them something rude. That’ll liven the […]
It’s been a while since my last blog, far too long in all honesty but the hardest part about starting again is knowing where to start. I have many issues with this current Arsenal side and particularly with Arsene Wenger – but there is one area of the pitch that irks me more than most […]
