Arsenal’s New DM M’Vila is strangely the one to watch for Sunderland – ‘View from the Opposition’
Our Co-Editor Dave Seager did an intervuew with Salut Sunderland ahead of this weekend’s clash so we asked if they would return the favour. Since the last time I wrote a ‘View from the Opponents’ feature, a lot has happened in the world of Arsenal. We’ve seen some injuries, Wenger’s disastrous 1000th game at the […]
Sol Campbell is a Gooner and the story of the Transfer that shocked the Football World – At the Launch of the Europcar Fans of the Season competition
On Sunday I was lucky enough to be invited along on behalf of Gunners Town to an event laid on at the Emirates by our friends at Europcar, to mark the launch of their rather splendid Fans Of The Season competition, which you can find a link to at the end of this piece. Upon […]
50 Shad(e)s of Same Sh.t, Different Day – “We have too many injury prone players that the rest have to carry until they are run into the ground.”
So Arsenal have injury woes again. Bears shit in the woods, The Pope is Catholic and Dolly Parton sleeps on her back. I’m usually pretty balanced with my views on Arsenal and oddly despite being the most emotional of characters, I don’t generally rant like a belligerent child over all things related to the club […]
‘IF’ This is not the most Positive Assessment of Arsenal’s Current Status…….
There have been some thought provoking events in recent weeks. Yes, I am talking about injuries and since then we have had a load of people talking about how Wenger has to be held responsible for it. My colleague, Alex of the Tsar Cannon has come up with a post right here where he talks […]
“Our inability to keep the ball more worrying than our inability to keep players on pitch”
Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez are gone for a while, there’s no apparent way to stop the unmatched growth of our list of injured players. We have recruited Shad Forsythe – arguably the best fitness expert in the world – and yet we have players going down with muscular injuries at a very frightening rate. One […]
Arsene to Step aside gracefully and Arsenal v Sunderland Previewed with a Difference!
Gunners Town Co-Editor Dave Seager was asked by Sunderland Blog ‘Salute Sunderland’ to chat about this Saturday’s visit to the Emirates of the Black Cats. Our thanks to Colin Randell who has allowed us to reproduce Dave’s interview and thoughts here: Dave Seager* is the man (One of!) behind the popular Arsenal fan site Gunners […]
Arsenal should be a Rolex but they are now a cheap imitation with Dodgy Broken Inferior parts
I have just read Alex`s article after the Norwich game. “Bad luck poor presentation or fragile English players”. I was going to write a simple critique on the Norwich match but I found it difficult to avoid writing the same critiques that I wrote for previous games (West Brom, West Ham, and Sheffield Wednesday etc.) […]
Gunners if you are still standing bring your boots we are playing Sunderland!
I’m still standing ? Not much to say following Sunday Bloody Sunday, well except, “Oh look it’s November, let’s all book a trip to the physio”. The defeat sucks, but the injuries are are verging on ridiculous. If all the tests are as bad as they probably will be, the best starting XI we can […]
South African Blog Awards Nomination
As you may (or may not know) – Gunners Town is a UK/South African co-operative. It is owned and run by Dave Seager – a.k.a. @goonerdave66 – (UK) and Batmandela – a.k.a. @invinciblog – (South Africa). In the two-and-a-half years that we have been up and running, we have had nearly 4 million visitors. Gunners […]
3 more down at Norwich begs the question – Injuries – Bad Luck, Poor Preparation/Rotation or plain Fragile English Players?
Well, that didn’t quite work out as expected, did it? More dropped points against opposition we shouldn’t be dropping points against, 3 new injuries to vital players and a no-wins November. I won’t even bother counting how many points Arsenal averaged this November, despite less than hectic schedule and more than manageable opponents. Simply put, […]
