Mesut Özil delivers in Europe- What Arsenal fans have been craving?
Sitting in the Clock End to witness Mesut Özil’s stellar performance against CSKA Moscow on Thursday night was a real privilege. Rarely do I come away from a game in awe at what I’ve seen, but his performance was up there with his top ones for Arsenal and any individual display I’ve seen from a […]
Two Arsenal’s, Two Formations, Two Competitions, Two Aaron Ramsey’s – Europa v Premier 11s
It was an explosive performance against CSKA in Thursday night’s Europa League encounter and this was in no small part down to the team selection and crucially the structure of that team. The set up gave full license to Arsenal’s attacking flair and most evidently to Aaron Ramsey. If we suspend belief just for the […]
We move on to Russia with love from Ozil, Lacazette and the Imperious Ramsey – Report/Player Ratings
It’s now on to Russia (with love)…from a sound first-leg victory. It’s often said that we don’t play sexy football anymore. That Wengerball is as extinct as the dinosaurs, the dodo, mammoths, and Neanderthals. Well apparently, Wengerball made a Lazarus-esque comeback last night. Despite some poor defending at times, we tore CSKA Moscow to […]
The Worst of Times: how Wenger is destroying the Club he claims to love
I have been silent for some time as far as articles go, but frankly, there has been very little to inspire me that hasn`t been covered by the excellent Gunners Town crew. I have confined myself to commenting fairly detailed replies on many of these articles. In recent times though, there is one consistent topic […]
Who can Arsenal buy to change next season’s fortunes?
Whether Arsène Wenger stays or goes at the end of the 2017/18 season, it is likely to be a very busy transfer window at the Emirates Stadium this summer. Targeting just two or three players won’t be sufficient if Arsenal are to rid themselves of the dead wood that will see them miss out on […]
Top of the Player Ratings, PEA and Lacazette Gel and hopefully help send Stoke down.
Hopefully another nail in Stoke’s relegation coffin…. I attended this game, and it was good to be back at our home again. I don’t go as often as I wish to, but I do my best. Our ground, despite being 12 years old, still holds up well in both English and global terms. It’s a […]
Lacazette, Aubameyang, Ozil and Mkhitaryan? – What the hell, entertain me!!
I woke up with the intention of writing a conventional match review but first off, I asked the question on Twitter, which, in some shape of form, is probably on every Gooner’s mind this morning. Can Arsenal, as a consistent selection shoe horn Ozil, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette and Aubameyang into the starting eleven? Earlier in the […]
It’s Only Ray Parlour! Highbury Hero: Arsenal’s Romford Pele
All aboard the time machine we’re going back to the early 1990’s for the latest instalment of Highbury Heroes. A natural comedian off the pitch, but don’t be fooled by that, because on the pitch he worked as hard as anyone, a winner who gave his all for Arsenal Football Club. It’s only Ray Parlour, […]
Lacazette to get a run out before CSKA – Arsenal vs. Stoke City – Preview
Arsenal vs. Stoke City preview Premier League – 1st April 2018 Easter Sunday, (H) Stoke is a kind of weird club for us. The Aaron Ramsey thing is naturally big. As is, from their standpoint “Let’s all do the Wenger!!” I don’t dislike nor detest many clubs. The Edmonton-adjacent lillywhites feature here, as do […]
A Wilshere In Time: Take Joy in a Celebration of Jack’s Arsenal Career Thus Far
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 […]
