A Season of Sighs Ends on a High
Arsenal Circular 146 It was “drama” on Sunday. One of the most over-used media words had meaning and resonance during the last 30 minutes of Sunday’s matches. It went right and we celebrated but it could have gone wrong and given us long faces and grouchy moods. In life “you win some and you lose […]
It happened again – A Glorious Day in the Sun in North london
If you are a regular reader of my posts, then you know I’m generally unperturbed by Spurs. For example, I hate Chelsea much more than Tottenham. Guess I’ve just never taken Spurs seriously. Had I been a bit younger (I’m 22), I could have said Tottenham haven’t finished above Arsenal in my entire lifetime. As […]
Is Vincent Janssen the Striker Arsenal are looking for?
Vincent Janssen has become one of the hottest prospects in the Dutch Eredivisie this season. After finishing the season as top scorer with 27 goals, the AZ Alkmaar striker has been dubbed the new “Ruud van Nistelrooy” by pundits everywhere. It came as no surprise that the 21-year old won the Johan Cruyff Prize last […]
We say Farewell to Rosicky, Arteta and Flamini v Villa but who else??
Howdy. We take on Aston Villa today in the last game of the season and we all know the possible outcomes: a win can still elevate us to 2nd, a loss drop to 4th. Both scenarios are rather unlikely, so a 3rd-place finish seems in order. Team news update Ozil is back up again, neither […]
Wenger suggesting Protesters are taking a lead from the ‘Big Ego’ of Piers Morgan is insulting to Gunners
As the season draws to a close, it is not a sense of sadness or even disappointment that engulfs me but one of relief; Relief that the summer break from club football will at last provide me with a timely respite from what has become a toxic environment during a disappointing and emotionally exhausting campaign. […]
Story of a Season Turning in 2016 – ONLY WELBECK has converted Ozil’s chances this year!!
On the back of a possible Era changing 4-0 FA Cup final win over Aston Villa at the end of last season, Arsenal’s 2015/2016 campaign did look destined to be the year where ‘everything comes together’ at the Emirates. That belief was only strengthened by the fact that Arsenal had as stainless a pre-season campaign […]
Jon Toral – The Real Low down with Birmingham Blog Often Partisan
It has not gone unnoticed I am sure by most Gunners that Jon Toral concluded successful loan spell at Birmingham City, by doing a Payet and making a clean sweep at the Blues end of season awards. He picked up Players Player, fans Player and Goal of the season with this effort: Rather than just […]
21 Years and Counting… It’s all down to this on ‘Not Just any Given Sunday!’
21 years and counting…. As you know Sunday is a must win for us and a must lose for the Sp*ds, so I thought I would have a go at writing Wenger’s speech for Sunday. The problem is every time I started I always came back to this.. So here we go: “I don’t know […]
To be or not to be a Gooner. That is the question.
We are all aware of the ever widening chasm between the “Arsene stay” and the “Arsene out” brigade. It has now descended into violent confrontation and I have seen a comment on Twitter where a supporter`s daughter was punched in the face by a “Wenger stay” supporter. The aftermath of the Man City game was […]
Only ONE Arséne Wenger? Not true. Meet FIVE more in this Gunners Town Exclusive
https://twitter.com/hamburgooner/status/729403151686766592 Gooners have all, at some stage, sung the immortal chant “There’s Only One Arséne Wenger” – but is it actually true? Is there only ONE Arséne Wenger? Is he unique? And, if so, is that a good thing? And if it’s false – if there is more than one Arséne Wenger – what would that mean, exactly?! […]
