Inflict Final Pain at White Hart Lane – Gunners Opportunity to ensure it is still ’61 Never Again’
Howdy. It’s the North London derby today and a start of a very tricky run-in. After playing Spurs away, we face United, Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland and Everton, with only former game and the latter two at home. Can’t remember when we last had a finish to the season so challenging. However we are totally culpable […]
Stan the Man – The Original Cultured Ball Playing Centre Back (Rob Holding have a read!)
This week’s Highbury Hero takes us right back in the time machine to the swinging sixties and it features the quietest member of the 1970-71 Double team. The greatest English centre back never to play for his country. It’s the magnificent Peter “Stan” Simpson. Stan was a cultured ball playing centre back who complimented Frank […]
Media Outrage at Alexis whilst Benalouane Using Giroud as a Step Ladder Ignored – New Pictures
Today the ‘Media’ have had a feeding frenzy on Alexis’s foolishness whilst banded together in equally false outrage at the ban given to their darling Joey Barton. All this whilst ignoring the incredible challenge of Yohan Benalouane on Olivier Giroud, which was an obvious Red Card if ever I saw one. Here are some previously […]
Exclusive Inside Track on Future Arsenal Star Sead Kolasinac from the man who broke the story
Gunner Town reporter James Howson has an exclusive on Sead Kolasinac, the man tipped to be a future Arsenal star. The Bosnian Hulk, The Tank as his countrymen call him or simply Sead Kolasinac as he’s more commonly known is set to sign for Arsenal football club. Firstly I know this is no secret […]
Welbeck back in for Giroud to taunt the Foxes once again – AFC v LCFC
Tonight’s clash with Leicester City marks our first game on home soil for three weeks, with that 3-0 win and performance against West Ham now a very distant memory. Since then we had the disaster that was Crystal Palace away, followed by Arsene Wenger’s unexpected tactical switch to a 5-3-1-1 with wing-backs at Middlesbrough. Then […]
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Future Giroud
Wembleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! What an uplifting feeling it is to play another FA Cup final in May, the third in the last four years. It’s been fantastic to see Rob Holding handle his Wembley debut with such composure, to see Gabriel offering us his best Martin Keown impression, to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain put in a cherry of […]
How the new Stylistically Flexible Wenger might line Arsenal up to win all the key remaining fixtures
Our last two games have been a breath of fresh air for Arsenal fans. A new formation, two wins, and the sense of optimism that we can adapt stylistically to an ever-evolving Premier League. While the 3-4-2-1 formation is gaining the majority of the recognition, and rightly so, my eyes have been telling me that […]
Wenger – Once a Trendsetter himself but now a Follower of Football Fashion
Arsene Wenger in the last week is finally following the football fashion where once he set it by becoming the 17th Premier League manager to play a 3 at the back system in 2016/17. This made me think of a series of 4 articles I write on my old site in the summer of 2015 […]
We’re the Famous 343 and we’re going to Wemberlee!! – Wenger Gambles and wins big
As Aguero dinked his shot over Cech, who somehow managed to get smaller in size as the Argentinian ran at him, rage started to swell inside me. Up to this point the system chosen by Arsene Wenger was working. It wasn’t flawless, and indeed Arsenal got lucky when Aguero’s half-time goal was ruled inadmissible, but […]
To 352 or not to 352 Mr Wenger? – That is the FA Cup Semi Final Question
We face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final today, and, given it’s the only trophy we have any chance of winning this season, I would be delighted to see our players fired up for the occasion. However these last three months have knocked any hope out of me. In fact, we haven’t played good […]
