So does spending equal automatic Premier League Success? Is it as simple as that?
Arsenal’s start to the season has done no favors to the notion that this squad can win the league. Unsurprisingly, the clamoring for buying a new striker or backup defensive midfielder or any other ‘we need’ you may have heard, has only increased fervently. Apparently, we must spend. Apparently, we must show our ambition by […]
Are financial principles slightly hindering our great club?
Cash reserves, money, wages, prices tags and so forth. These financial aspects are what now symbolise the modern game, football has become a brutal business in which money is far and away the most significant factor. The power money has brought to football means that clubs such as Manchester City can be dragged from the […]
As you rage at the Arsenal stop, deep breath, think – God am I becoming like Piers Morgan
THE PIECE ABOUT KEEPING THE PEACE. “Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action, rather it is timing, it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles, and in the right way.” These are the wise words of Venerable Fulton Sheen, once Archbishop of the American Catholic Church. I already […]
If Wenger trusts in this squad so will I – Collective Faith must be repaid though
Today’s blog is not about transfers, I am more than glad that the circus left yesterday and I want everyone to go back to football. Once you see that the usually serious BBC asking self-elected Football Manager experts to give their views about the impact of this or that player, based on their saved games, […]
Is Welbeck the ‘New Signing?’ – Trusting what we have (the alternatives to Giroud!)
The window is now shut and we’ve had a largely underwhelming one. I could write 20 paragraphs about my disgust with this situation and reveal my rage but honestly what is the point? I expected Arsene Wenger to disappoint despite forcing myself into a late glimmer of hope and that is what has happened. Rather […]
The Morning after the Night before – More Squad questions than answers Monsieur Wenger?
Hi All, I had to write this for cathartic reasons!! So, the transfer window light has been flicked off and we are shufflling out of the other side blinking, squinting and staring into the new dawn. On the face of it, Arsenal have a nice, solid looking squad of twenty six. Goalkeepers – Cech, Ospina and presumably […]
THE PROLIFERATION OF THE ARSENAL TROLL – A Modern Phenomenon?
Okay so some might have qualms with my choice of word used to describe the increase in the number of Arsenal trolls around but hey, they are as dangerous as the word it’s normally used to describe; Nuclear Weapons. In this day and age, the advent of social media has had astounding effects on the […]
Newcastle review: Theo underachieves as the Gunners get the points
Like I said before the game, away days at St. James park are always hard. Yes, we still manage to win there, but our last three meetings with the Toons (now four) finished with a solitary goal to separate the two teams: 1-0, 2-1, 1-0 and 1-0. However, there are different kinds of hard. Yesterday’s […]
Mute Michael Owen. Match commentary by real Arsenal fans. Courtesy of Gunners Town.
Tired of listening to the same old boring and biased match commentary? Or having to listen to Michael Owen wax cynical? Or trying to decipher what the hell it is that Jamie Carragher is emitting from his face-hole? Yeah. We are too! Always ahead of the curve, and prepared to lose a fingertip to technology’s […]
Koscielny on track to return and partner Gabriel as Gunners look to secure a vital away win
We face Newcastle today and, once again, we badly need to win the game. It’s kind of funny to be in such a position 3 games in, but our less than spectacular start ensured we need a second away win in a row. Interestingly enough, we have a very good record away from home: 6 […]
