Tough to understand Wenger’s in game decisions of late and persistence with Walcott
After midweek wins for Leicester, Spurs and the two Manchester clubs, our disappointing draw with Southampton felt like a defeat. Whilst there will undoubtedly be a few more twists and turns in the title race, a paltry return of just three points from the last twelve on offer, coupled with the knowledge of difficult away […]
The Failing Midfield Dynamics threatening Arsenal’s season – Breakdown at the Breakdown
Gunners Town is pleased to share this fantastic post by the brilliant Jane Cavendish (@jcav90). Enjoy! Football at the top level is now more than ever about transitions. Gone are the days when a team aspires only to having countless minutes of possession, moving the ball slowly in front of the opposition defence waiting for […]
Guilty as charged: Wenger doesn’t have what it takes (to win the league)
So: Arsenal are in their accustomed place – 4th in the Premiership and what are the chances of improving? I would urge you dear reader to have a look at John Cross`s article in the Mirror today. I have said much of what he has said, many times to the extent that there is nothing […]
The Positives and Negatives from the Victory over Burnley
This was an Arsenal performance of contrasts. There was much to admire but anxieties remain that we will fall short of our number one goal – the Premier League. As to the positives they were clear to see. Elneny played well on his debut – he was busy, prominent, challenged and committed. It is always […]
Alexis, Coq and Elneny come through Unscathed & Iwobi continues to impress! – #FACupAFC2BFC1
Another Arsenal win in the bag, another sigh of relief at the final whistle. It wasn’t the most convincing win, nor was it the most unconvincing either. There were moments of Arsenal possession and domination whilst creating some chances; there was some purpose in the Gunners’ play till the first goal. Burnley’s equalizer was, of […]
Was Gibbs persuaded to Crock Coq or was it a case of mistaken identity? Conspiracy Theorists Unite!
Only at The Arsenal !!! Injuries are a way of life at The Arsenal, Diaby, Wilshire, Ramsey have all had extended stints on the sidelines, via various causes, but never by one of our own. Le Coq has just returned from a two month sabbatical and was looking not far off his best alongside Elneny, […]
Newbies, Returnees and Kiddies – Arsenal v Burnley – Elneny to clatter Barton?
Newbies, Returnees and Kiddies I’m not normally one for writing previews, but this week I thought I’d give it ago. Sunday Morning (AEDT) Burnley roll into town and The Arsenal continue their second defence of the Emirates (FA) Cup. (That would be a lovely Saturday 3pm for you guys back home) In true Wenger cup […]
Plenty of Gunners at the Euro’s but how may will be in England Shirts?
Our editor wrote a blog recently voicing concerns about the future of the young English Core at Arsenal. Yes we have a talented squad and no less than 6 of the Arsenal first team set up have featured for Hodgson’s England during eh qualifying period – Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Jack […]
The Theo Walcott Conundrum: 10 years on and still no closer to solving it
When Arsenal.com came out with the infographic about Theo Walcott’s ten years spell at the Club, I could barely believe it. I remember very well when he signed, I remember his first appearance and I also have some exceptional memories involving the former Southampton man, however it was impossible for me to believe that ten […]
Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems? Arsenal’s Wage Structure may not be the Worst Thing in the World!
Adebayor is back in the Premier League having recently signed for Crystal Palace. I came across a tweet that took a dig at the player’s lack of loyalty and referring to him as a mercenary. Some time ago, I may have shared that sentiment; but, the Togolese forward’s letter of warning – posted some time […]
