I’m not sure about you guys, but the last week, the Wembley success and the aftermath have caused me considerable reflection on exactly what Mikel Arteta is doing at my club, and what it might mean in the short and medium term. That reflection has drawn me to an inescapable conclusion: one which surprised […]
When Gabriel Martinelli arrived in the summer of 2019 from third tier Brazilian side Ituano FC, not many would have predicted the teenagers incredible impact in his first season in arguably the toughest league in the world, however the 19-year old has been nothing short of a revelation leading him to gain plaudits from some […]
With Balogun refusing to commit and out of favour, Martinelli injured and Greenwood leaving, and despite the Arsenal fans wanting to see Aubameyang played centrally, Arteta is entering the new season with only Lacazette and Nketiah as is centre forwards. Or is he…? Last summer we saw glimpses of Tyreece John-Jules, and these glimpses made […]
The Surprise of the Season I was listening to Craig Burley on ESPN before the game. He was upsetting me. Not because he thought Liverpool would win but because he thought that Arsenal couldn’t compete this coming season.

The rumour of the summer that will not fade away just took another interesting turn today, when allegedly Philippe Coutinho told his new Barcelona boss. Ronald Koeman, that not only does he not want to be part of the Dutchman’s new master plan for the Spanish giants but furthermore he wants to join Arsenal. The […]
It was back in July that we at Gunners Town first picked up the scent of a potential deal with Roma for their defensive midfielder, Amadou Diawara. The Guinea International, as we discussed in the earlier article has all the attributes Arteta should be looking for but originally Diawara was touted as an alternative should […]
I will be bravely or perhaps foolishly predicting Arsenal’s 2020/21 Europa League triumph. Detailing Arsenal’s road through-out the tournament knockout stages, road to the final and eventual victory in the final held at the chosen venue, the Stadion Energa Gdańsk. Here’s how Arsenal will win their first *modern* European trophy: Group Stage Ah, the Europa […]
