Arsenal Fans – Is the Club Respecting your Loyalty or Simply Exploiting it?
I have read the excellent articles by Petits Ponytail, Alex Baguzin and Timothy Hargreaves and this contribution is designed to augment them rather than to try to improve upon them. The one by Timothy was predictive and was written pre the Liverpool match and that is the cue for my lead in. Just before the game […]
Title or bust: the last chance saloon for Arsene Wenger
The 2016/17 Premier League season is finally here and nobody is feeling the pressure more than Arsene Wenger. Ultimately, this campaign could define the Frenchman’s legacy at the club; will he go down as a hero or somebody who outstayed his welcome? Only time will tell but another Premier League title would certainly help his […]
Time to ‘Stand by by your Man’ – Open letter to Angry Gooners.
Dear Fellow Gunners If in recent years you have associated yourself with the vigorous anti-Wenger brigade then yesterdays defeat by Liverpool will have reinforced your commitment to the cause that Wenger must leave Arsenal FC as soon as possible. I hasten to add this is not my view for reasons that appear below but if […]
Does Arsene want to run with wolves or become a sheep? Time to choose or a Legacy to lose
On a beautiful august day Arsenals premier league charge began, and after a block buster 90 minutes cautious optimism gave way to full scale meltdown. A four three defeat against Liverpool left the long suffering emirates faithful with an all too familiar feeling. Let down by a side underprepared, undercooked and undermanned. The disappointment comes […]
We may have LOST due to our defence but are we missing Alexis being LOST up top?
When Theo Walcott failed to convert the penalty kick I thought it was going to be one of those days. I don’t have the numbers to back it and I’m not sure this kind of data exists in a public source readily available, but I have this nagging feeling Arsenal rarely does well after scuffing […]
Does Wenger actually have a plan as he once more allows Arsenal to enter a season short-handed?
So, Arsenal are starting another season short-handed. The striker to help Giroud has not been found and AFC are still one centre-back short. Granit Xhaka was brought in immediately after last season ended to ensure season ticket renewals and I don’t think the Club had any concrete plan to fill up the gaps in the […]
Any takers for the Coq Holding Roles versus Liverpool? – Surprise Selection Predicted
So, the new season is just around the corner. We start the 16/17 campaign in style, by facing Liverpool at home. This should ensure the players and the manager approach the game fully concentrated on the task ahead. No underestimating our opponents, Liverpool is one of the teams to beat this season. So in a […]
Arsenal’s Midfield and Forward Momentum for 16/17 – 10 Interlinked thoughts ahead of the Big Kick Off
So having helped build up Gunners Town from scratch in 2013 I am now going to be writing for it more often. A regular column here along with a bi-weekly Shoot feature will be my blogging homes for 2016/17. So amid all the ‘will he won’t he splash the cash’ and do what we all […]
To love and be frustrated by one person in equal measure – Arsene Wenger, the Pros and Cons
“Yes! We’ve signed someone, someone BIG.” Crap-we haven’t, that was on Football manager last night. Oh my lord I wish Arsene would just do what I do on that game. (Spend all the money on big players and *guaranteed* wonderkids). If it all goes Pete Tong, just reload the game without saving. Why doesn’t Arsene […]
It is a fact that the Gunners have failed post World Cups and Euro’s – This year we MUST start better
We can hear if we cannot see, from all directions, pressure coming hurrying with the whirling winds of the globally envied English Premier League. Another EPL season is nigh and the competition could not be any stiffer. We have more money coming into the Premier League, elite coaches gracing it with their presence, stadiums being […]
