So Farewell to Diaby but Hello to Who? Additions will arrive but after I suspect the Big Club Domino Effect
I do not remember the last time I had a week so busy. However, this was also coupled with the fact next to nothing Arsenal-related was happening. The big news is probably Diaby leaving the Club after almost ten years. The Frenchman was recently listed as a free agent come July 1st. As @Arseblog rightly […]
A day in history: how Arsenal secured Champions League football at Spurs’ expense in 2006
I don’t have a penchant for transfer speculation so I avoid transfer talk and avoid offering any sort of opinion on players that I feel we need because quite frankly, I am in no position to offer the such. Having said that; I will also say that I am a man for nostalgia – I […]
Not our Club. Not our problem: 2014/15’s Relegation Dodgers.
A Gooner’s View Of Other Clubs Of The 2014-15 Season Part 2 by Timothy Hargreaves Hi everyone. This is part two of my series of blogs about the status of the Premiership Clubs of the 2014-2015 Season following the conclusion of the League season. In this, the second part of the series, I’ll be focusing […]
Wenger has finally built his perfect squad – but it could easily fall apart.
Rejoice, Gooners! Our beloved football Club is setting a new example in European football: improvement through stability, something we should all be proud of. Nevertheless, the price we paid to be where we are today seemed too high to many – no trophies for almost a decade, no title challenges, no glorious runs in Europe […]
Sorry Miss Jackson’ & Wenger will be drinking Martinis with Martinez come August as the IMPROVEMENT is built on.
The season is over & the tabloids were right; We finished outside the Champions League spots, Sanchez was a waste of money & was a flop, Ozil continued float on the fringes doing nothing for the team, Our defence was shocking, We had no depth in midfield and Our strike force couldn’t hit a […]
Time for fans to stop judging Transfer Targets and players solely on Stats without context
Today’s piece will follow a theme I used for a piece on Coquelin on my personal blog a few months ago. It is also, somewhat, an extension to the line of thought I advocated recently in a piece on dealing with the media and pundits. Don’t worry, this won’t be philosophical! This pertains to how […]
“I said last year that Arsene Wenger wasn’t top class – I was wrong Wenger is TOP CLASS!”
In November of last year I wrote a blog which the editors here at Gunners Town titled ‘Arsene Wenger is not top class anymore’, which was as accurate a reflection of the piece as you could get. It wasn’t a reactionary rant about another painful loss, (it was after we blew 3 goal lead to […]
Are Higuain, Benzema and Cavani all truly upgrades on Olivier Giroud? Perhaps not!
One of the interesting traits of human nature is that we tend to look for confirmation of our views. We also seem to be pretty consistent in our views: that means we don’t change and adapt them each time we find out something new, something that disproves our theory. It is normal: Thomas Bayes, an […]

A Small but significant victory for Arsenal Social Media in Moscow
After reading Andrea’s blog about being a Gunner is isolation I became reflective of my own situation. It’s fair to say I was isolated from Arsenal’s fanbase until very recently. I started supporting the Gunners back in 2005, with a habit of regularly watching their games not kicking in at least till 2008. That gave […]
