All but over? Mesut Ozil and woeful attacking costs Arsenal Champions League progression against rattled Bayern Munich
Crikey, where to start? After a thoroughly tense FA Cup win against Liverpool, during which, deep into the second half, I am sure my anus collapsed in on itself through sheer anxiety, Arsenal had to combat arguably the best football team of the 21st century. A Pep Guardiola-led Bayern Munich side who now threaten to […]
Futuristic Game Fights Cancer
Apologies for a one-off non-football related post today, but there is still the Greg Cross Column to come this afternoon. However, Gunners Town feels that it is highly appropriate and critical to bring you this information regarding the battle against cancer. As we’re sure many of you have experienced yourself, Gunners Town are not alone […]
MATCH REPORT: All to do for Arsenal as Bayern Munich leave the Emirates with one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals
Another nightmare evening in the Champions League for English football brought with it another controversial red card decision, as Arsenal stopper, Wojciech Szczesny, saw red for a challenge on Arjen Robben in the closing stages of the first half while Bayern scalped a 2-0 victory at the Emirates. The resultant spot-kick, taken by David Alaba, […]
Bayern Munich’s weakness just may be exposed by Arsenal in the Champions League
The week’s passed by and we are just hours away from our next Champions League knockout phase. It’s been a long time since we haven’t reached the next round of the Champions League. Before a match against the current cup holders it’s time to take that into account and get praised for it. I know we won’t as we are […]
Why Arsene Wenger is far from Jose Mourinho’s claims of “a specialist in failure” at Arsenal
Arsene Wenger: A Successful Failure? Josie Mourinho came back to the Premier League claiming he’d turned a new leaf. A more humane, more palatable version than the one that graced us with his presence 10 years ago. But true to form, when the going gets tough, the mouth gets going. In November 2005, Josie stepped […]
ARSENAL FANS REALITY CHECK: a point off Premier League summit and in the FA Cup last eight with perfect Anfield tonic
Week Twenty Seven – Post Apocalyptic Shit Sandwiches and the Real World Did you miss me? I took a week off from writing last week, as I was too busy to do so, and it turned out to be not such a bad thing in the end. As you know I try to be as positive […]
SEASON OVER: Transfer window disaster and injuries spell the end of Arsenal’s trophy hunt
Afternoon Gooners. As you may remember, last week I talked about Sod’s law and how Arsenal had the opportunity and ability to take charge in their forthcoming crunch matches and throw Sod’s law back into their rivals’ faces. And what did we get?! Utter humiliation against Liverpool. Now, I watched Liverpool tear into their high-flying […]
ARSENAL RATINGS: Mesut Ozil better, Santi Cazorla the best but Jack Wilshere poor again against Manchester United
Nerves, fear, trepidation gripping both teams – robbed the watching public of a football match where expression is a required component of which gives a feeling that you are being entertained. Fear of enjoying the experience of playing football took over two professional teams and reminded us that the stakes are really high in the Premier […]
Arsenal golden boy Jack Wilshere should stop trying to be a big man, leave that for Abou Diaby or the new Patrick Vieira
It’s a question that has caused so many debates amongst Arsenal fans and this question more than any statistic drives our narrative to the non Arsenal world…. Can Arsenal win the “big” games? What does that mean. To me it means going to the North West and Chelsea away from home and winning. It’s about […]
Do Arsenal just not like England’s Dark Satanic Mills in the North West?
Have the Arsenal had their Achilles heal exposed & severed. For all the flair, guile & ability, has the soft underbelly been flipped over & left in the sun to be pecked at by the big team vultures. Again, we get on the plane to the North West, to a top 6 contender & boom […]
