Perfect Gooner Christmas present: a little Highbury in your home! (Exclusive Discount)
Gooners will always hold a special place in their hearts for Highbury. As beautiful as the Emirates is – the art deco facade of Arsenal’s old stadium was stylishly eye-catching, and placed it in a class of its own. Arsenal Stadium (its proper name) was built in 1913. In the 1930’s the site was redeveloped and […]
Xhaka and Kolasinac – Good but are they good enough? Arsenal Consistently Inconsistent
In recent months, I’ve not contributed to the Gunners Town site. Work commitments and a busy social schedule have been two of the key factors in my blogging absence but the most disappointing factor, has been a lack of inspiration. I’ve never been one who writes for the sake of it and I’ll only ever […]
I’m no Wenger fanboy – but he’s not to blame for being untied by United.
I have read some newspaper reports yesterday and today and it is a gloomy occupation this morning to be reading the comments by fans. The Arsene Out Brigade (of which I am a member), are venting their spleens this morning on Twitter, and looking for blood. They are seeking Wenger`s head and laying the blame […]
Gunners are found lacking as De Gea saves United from a spanking: AFC1MUFC3
The only place I can start today is to say just how massively disappointed I am. Disappointed with the result, disappointed with making a lot of despicable people happy, disappointed our fans went home on that freezing night empty-handed. Before the game there was a genuine buzz of excitement in and around the stadium. I’m […]
A Bittersweet Defeat as De Gea and Marinner defy Arsenal
Arsenal 1-3 Man United Review I’m not sure about anybody else, but this loss for me was a tolerable one. No fan ever likes to lose, naturally. But bar some individual errors, I think we attacked well throughout. Our passing was crisp, and our attacking players were sharp. Though this really is a bittersweet defeat. […]
Time for Lucky 13 and for Arsenal to sink Mourinho’s Bus again
We host Manchester United today in a bid to secure a 13th consecutive league win at home – which will equal our all-time record. Suffice to say our chance to do so couldn’t have come against a nicer manager. However poor Arsene’s overall record against Jose is, there are quite a few bits and bobs […]
So it’s Welbeck or Giroud and will Mourinho park the bus or not? AFC v MUFC
OK, so our manager’s goodly friend is vising us this weekend. Wenger got his first ever league win against him in this fixture last season. And overall, there is no love lost between ourselves and United, going back to the Fergie days of course. But can we get another win here? I don’t see why not. Our […]
This Christmas will Arsenal’s Wise Men pay to keep their Bright Shining Ozil Star
It is almost Christmas and our minds are cast back to its origins. The first people who beheld the portent of the good news at Christmas were the three wise men who followed a star to the scene of the nativity. Are we now seeing our own star in the shape of one Mezut Ozil. […]
It’s Time to Back the F*ck Off Granit Xhaka and Shkodran Mustafi
The similarities are plentiful between Shkodran Mustafi and Granit Xhaka: Both were brought in during the 2016 summer transfer window with high price tags. Both play in key central areas that constitute the spine of the team. And both have excellent vision on the pitch and display an above-average ability to pick a long pass. […]
Ozil’s finally delivers a ’10/10′ performance v Terriers – Now for Consistency Mesut.
Arsenal 5-0 Huddersfield Town Premier League review Well…..that was satisfying – a 12th consecutive Premier league home win. Though for most of the game, we were very pedestrian. Our issues are largely mental, and this was no different. We scored initially via Lacazette, but then for much of the first-half, we looked pretty stolid. But […]
