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 […]
New campaign, old problems – for one last time?
The new campaign is nearly upon us and our pre season fixtures have been completed. A draw, followed by four successive victories, represents a positive summer in terms of the results but the question is, what have we learned from our five non competitive fixtures? From a personal perspective, I have learned nothing that I […]
Be in yor own title hunt come May – with Gunnerstown
It’s less than a week until the start of the season and Arsene has been about as active as a sloth, studying sloth studies at Slothville University. So no change there then. But you can get more involved in the transfer market this season by joining The Gunnerstown Fantasy League. Go to Fantasy Premier League website […]
