Arsenal uber alles. Deutschland und Arsenal……partners and followers?
With the arrival of PEA, Mislintat, and potentially Sokratis, as well as the football development appointment announced lately, and Ozil’s extension, does this mean we’re adopting a German-esque model? Are we becoming the Dortmund of England, or even to prove Gazidis correct, another Bayern Munich? Monetary deficits Arsenal is a rich club, and […]
Continuing to innovate, Gunners Town now offering mini-Arsenal Armoury right on blog
You may have noticed the small red icon reading “Shop Arsenal 2018/19” here on Gunners Town over the past few days. Maybe you even clicked on it… Some of you may remember when we were the first to launch a new image-tagging product being tested by Arsenal FC earlier this year. We’re continuing with that […]
Arsenal’s new signing a sign of things to come? Or just shrewd opportunism?
The predominantly positive reaction from Arsenal supporters to the announcement of the arrival of thirty four year old Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer from Juventus, serves to illustrate the significant change in the mindset of those associated with the club, following Arsene’s long awaited and much needed departure.

Farewell to Arsenal’s Little Magician: Cazorla’s Greatest Hits #GraciasSanti
A sad moment has just passed, Santi has left the building and rejoined Villarreal. In my mind an Arsenal legend, a touch of class in a team that was falling apart around him. In an injury ravaged 6 year stay at The Emirates, Santi managed just 129 games, with a scoring rate of a goal […]
N’Zonzi a more logical partner for Ramsey than Dacoure as Emery adds Age to an Aging squad – Concern?
Transfer rumours are rife and the Emery era is in full swing. The Press, as we all know, do not necessarily know more than the well-connected fan, but I suspect there is some truth in some of the players we are being linked to at present. Overall, I feel very bullish about the new era, […]
Arsenal have very few World Class players compared to other top teams…a cause for concern or not?
How many World Cup players do we have, and is it a concern? This coming WC is odd compared to recent ones, since we don’t have many players as stars for top teams. This is an anomaly compared to the past 20, maybe 30, years or so. There was a time even when Gooners […]
‘Unai’ted again? Will Arsenal’s new boss bring the fans together?
When Unai Emery was announced as Arsène Wenger’s successor, many raised eyebrows at an appointment which had left some of the fanbase uninspired, and after two years with Paris Saint-Germain the former Sevilla boss will bring exciting, new ideas to Emirates Stadium. I think 90% of Arsenal fans were preparing for the news that Mikel […]
As Loan Talks rumoured what could Barca’s Dembele bring to Emery’s Arsenal
The season came to an official end this past weekend in Europe and no sooner as it ended do we move onto thinking and planning for next season. So far, Arsenal are yet to capture the imagination of the fans with the expected signings of defenders Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Stephan Lichtsteiner. Although they are “big […]
Five Key Areas of Improvements we can expect from the new Head Coach – Unai Emery’s 1st Season Report Card
The collective Arsenal conscious is a complex beast with many layers. Few would doubt that. The seemingly infinite forms of social expression and the wide-ranging opinions that result are simply a byproduct of a new era. It’s time to embrace Arsenal as such a multi-faceted subject instead of fixating on contrarian or polarizing viewpoints. Large […]
Emery to Arsenal (part 2) – What To Expect…
This the second part in the welcoming of our new manager, Unai Emery. View Part 1 here. Here, I will see how he could solve our specific issues, and what we could expect from him in his first season. I must say that his press conference was well done. His English isn’t that bad, though […]
