They may Kiss the Badge but do these Players really have the Mental Strength to play for the Shirt Arsene?
For me these were wonderful memories generated by Graham Perry in this piece remembering Joe Mercer. However he was using Joe for an analogy to defend Arsene Wenger. But those were different times. The fans wore flat caps at all the grounds and the players earned wages not all that more than them. We all […]
Arsenal can still win the League this season….
Ok, technically that is still true, but we all know that it’s not going to happen, and this blog is not even going to mention it after this paragraph, but that’s what we do these days isn’t it? Jump on the most attention grabbing headline without bothering to read the article to check whether there’s […]
Not sitting on the Fence – The Case for Arsene Wenger’s Defence
We are at the crossroads. Either Wenger goes or Wenger stays. Get two Arsenal fans together and that is the sole topic of interest – To Go or To Stay. The case for him going is strong. This season was ours. We had the squad; Wenger had spent on Cech, the much acclaimed final […]
Extremes of AKB and WOB make Arsenal fans a laughing stock
We welcome back of our founder writers at Gunners Town – Darren Wright with a sanitised version, that will make Newsnow (less sweary bits) of a piece that he posted on his own personal blog Let’s have it right, the terms AKB or WOB are a complete utter and total embarrassment. Whenever I stick my […]
The Case for Arsenal NOT signing Ibrahimović – The maths says £2 million per goal
I am pleased and honoured to add my contrary view to this article which originated from a well-respected writer for Gunners Town, my friend Andrea Rosetti. I agree that Zlatan Ibrahamovich has been and still is a very accomplished footballer and if the offer to sign him had come up 4 years ago, I would […]
The Case for Arsenal signing Ibrahimović – The Case for Arsenal signing a Winner
What would you say if you were offered the chance to sign Zlatan Ibrahimović? I would say yes, loud and clear. He might be old, he might be expensive and he might be full of himself but what a striker the Swede is! After an enjoyable discussion with Victor (@GunnerVic1946,) another GT contributor on Twitter, […]
If Robbie Savage was on the Arsenal Board – This time next year we’ll be millionaires!!
Now Robbie Savage states that, “Arsenal’s board have a decision to make – do they want three more years like this (season) or do they want trophies?” and that; If he was on the board at Arsenal, he would grasp the nettle this summer and bring in a new manager. Robbie Savage: The well respected […]
Is there a Moral in story this for Fans criticizing Wenger? – Ask Joe Mercer
Wenger In/Wenger Out? – It is getting stale. We need something new to remember that football is not just about the next three points or next team selection so let me lighten the mood and recall some Arsenal moments over the years. How about this Joe Mercer reminisce? – A lovely encounter with a City […]
Under Wenger the players are asleep and the fans just weep – Arsenal 1 Palace 1
Words fail me once again. I don’t think I can say anything you don’t already know. I’ll probably start with the bit from my preview: “Crystal Palace have won ONE game in the last 16 league matches. It was a recent home win vs Norwich, the game which ended 1-0. This run of sixteen games […]
My Crystal Ball says it’s Time to for Arsenal Cannons to Gun down the Palace
I’ll start this preview with an astonishing bit I’ve only just dug up: Crystal Palace have won ONE game in the last 16 league matches. It was a recent home win vs Norwich, the game which ended 1-0. This run of sixteen games included an 11-game winless streak, during which the Eagles have only drawn […]
