Arsenal are the most expensive club to support in the world – UEFA Report
Arsenal are the most expensive club to support in the world It would appear that Arsenal are top of the table; but not in terms of the English Premier League. According to UEFA’s European Club Footballing Landscape report, Arsenal are not just champions of Europe but are world champions when it comes down to how much […]
Arsenal, post-Alexit: Midfield Balance, Attacking Fluidity, Team Harmony Restored (Hopefully)
Hello dear readers and patrons of Gunnerstown! What a time to be back and alive in the Arsenal blogosphere. I would wish to explain away my absence due to a couple of life-changing academic examinations that I had to undertake in the past few months, as well as the dire straits of Arsenal Football Club […]
Ozil on song and Iwobi steps up after Alexit as Gunners blitz Eagles
Arsenal 4-1 Crystal Palace This was a good performance overall. We blitzed Palace in the opening half an hour and they were spectacularly poor. It was our first Alexis-less game, with his move to United looking very certain. However, life after Alexit as it were seems OK. We were sharper in the first –half, and […]
Will we finally see Jack and Rambo start together? – The Welshman is key to revive Lacazette!
It seems not so long ago we have played Palace away in that crazy 3-2 win … And indeed it wasn’t that long ago, just a day over three weeks back. You do get those reverse fixtures around New Year. Chelsea, for instance, are facing Brighton for the second time in a matter of weeks. […]
Not ideal how Arsenal arrived at this window but reuniting the Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang Dortmund Magic…
I saw a thread on Twitter this morning from my good friend, Mario, @mr_arsenal and asked if he wanted to turn his thread of tweets into a blog. He agreed and here it is…… So…today, we have Wenger saying: “We have to very quickly get over this transfer period. For us this period has been […]
SPRING CLEANING COMES EARLY TO LONDON COLNEY – Who can be swept out?
It is only January and Winter, but it has been clear for some time now that Arsenal from top to bottom as a football club needs cleansing. Some members of the playing body as well as the coaching staff and maybe the board, need to be culled. The club has been trending in a wrong […]
We have been used dining on Caviar at Wenger’s table, eating Frogspawn is just not the same.
I was very saddened on Monday this week driving along listening to the presenters on Talksport debating which team this season played the most exciting and attractive football. The conversation, unsurprisingly had arisen after Sunday’s thriller, and no I do not mean drab affair at the Vitality. Obviously and indisputably Liverpool and Man City play […]
Rejuvenation through Reinvention: Are the cases of Arteta and Cazorla the template for Mkhitaryan
It seems as if Alexis Sanchez’s impending transfer to Manchester United is not a matter of “if” but “when.” The name being bandied about as makeweight in the deal is one Henrikh Mkhitaryan. It’s far from a given that the Armenian will join, but reliable sources seem to think a deal is close. Arsenal’s recent […]
Selling Theo Walcott – Right for player but being right for Arsenal depends on replacement
Despite being a strong opponent of the January/Winter transfer window, Arsene Wenger during that period in the year 2006 pulled off a piece of business which was hailed and slammed in equal measure by anyone concerned, not different from anything Arsenal in the last few years. He had signed from the Southampton football club academy, […]
Arsenal is being left behind by the other top clubs, and it might be too late to catch up
Arsenal, how the mighty have fallen. And how we’re allowing the sore to grow. The latest defeat to Bournemouth highlights how far we’ve fallen. But why do we allow the sore to fester? We’re sick. But then we’re not resolving the sickness. I feel like we’re viewing a bad cut, and not making any effort […]
