Monreal back to the left with Koscielny returning and Rob Holding his place for Stoke
To the Mordor we go today, and it’s fair to say I’d prefer most other places to Stoke at a crucial time like this. But beggars can’t be choosers. A win will put us within a point of Liverpool, who visit the Hammers on Sunday, heaping pressure in Klopp’s men to perform. I do not […]

Southampton 0-2 Arsenal: Alexis finds his spark to keep the Gunners’ top 4 fire burning
I must admit I was very worried before the game yesterday. St. Mary’s has become a hard place to visit in recent seasons. Southampton have also been a problem at the Emirates – our two last League Cup exits are a testament to that. However what we witnessed was a mature performance from an Arsenal […]
“Judge Me in May”: Out of Touch, Out of Time. Wenger Out.
So rumours say that Arsenal have approached Michael Zorc of Borussia Dortmund to become our new coach. Apparently at the request of Gazidis. You may recall that he said that we had reached a catalyst for change. We could not go on as we had this year. Apparently Wenger would then move upstairs. Unfortunately no […]
Xhaka and Koscielny to miss out – Balancing the Squad is Key for the vists to St Marys
It’s Southampton away in a couple of hours as our unlikely quest for a top 4 spot continues. The Saints have become somewhat a bogey team for Arsenal lately, with the Gunners losing the previous two league fixtures at St. Mary’s. Both were notable losses too: the first made the manager drop Szczesny and subsequently […]
Granit Xhaka – From Nobody to Somebody in Germany and from Zero to Hero at Arsenal??
When you think about summer signings this season not many get spoken of so frequently as Granit Xhaka, it seems you’ve either got fans complaining he fouls too much or pundits jumping on his back as soon as they get a chance to chime in on the Swiss international. For me he is becoming a […]
Wenger Strongly Opposed to a Director of Football – Arrogant or Sensible?
Hello there dear readers of Gunners Town, quite a long break from me and I do apologise for that although this might be a bit of a rare blog anyway since the topic itself is so temporary. Arsene Wenger’s press conference this morning sparked a flurry of activity I have not seen before and with […]
The other top sides styles are known but Arsenal are In Desperate Need of a New Identity?
I·den·ti·ty /īˈden(t)ədē/ (Noun) the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. what Arsenal have lost over the past few seasons. Arsenal are in the midst of an identity crisis. For large portions of the past few seasons, our style of football has been unrecognizable and difficult to classify. Arsenal seem like […]
Long before Ian Wright Wright Wright there was Alan Alan Sunderland – #HighburyHero
This week’s Highbury Hero takes back down memory lane to the late 1970’s. When a man with a perm earned himself a permanent place in Arsenal’s history, with the last gasp winning goal in the Five Minute Final in 1979. It’s Alan Alan Alan Sunderland. Alan had a fine turn of pace and although was […]
