This was a fine start to the season. Yes, it was only Fulham, and there will be harder tests ahead. All the same, we controlled the game from the off and looked resolute throughout. Despite the changes in the brief close season, with Gabriel and Willian incoming, it was to some extent more […]
When will they notice? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I get the feeling that the outside world sees Arsenal as ‘an improving team.’ That’s fine. We are. I think we are more than that though. The foundation of my thought is this…. Arsenal won the FA Cup, Community Shield, beat Man Utd, Wolves, Chelsea, […]
Episode 23 “Gunners Town Pub – Fulham 0-3 Arsenal” Chris, Mike, Paul and Gav meet immediately after the game in the Gunners Town (Virtual) Pub to discuss Arsenal’s inspiring season opener. Plenty to discuss regarding the team selection, and obviously lots to be pleased about with new Gunners Willian and Gabriel excelling on their debut. […]
Well isn’t this one of the most frustrating, infuriating transfer windows we’ve ever had. The club has done good business up to now. Signing Willian on a free was a shrewd move. He still has a lot to offer and the fact Chelsea didn’t want to lose him says a lot. I’ll be honest, I […]
Tomorrow morning, bright and early I will be joining the above walk from The Emirates to Craven Cottage. Nine miles to help the brilliant ‘Walk and Talk MMH’ team help raise awareness of the too often ignored issues with men’s mental health. As my chosen charity ‘Future Men’ highlighted to us the advice to men, […]
Willian as Grealish I don’t think that the first line up of the season is too tricky to guess. It looks like Leno will start after the Martinez move. It’s unlikely that Saliba AND Gabriel start, so with many CB’s out injured/just returning/about to be sold, its highly likely we go with Tierney. The 3-4-3 has been […]
We at Gunners Town are delighted to announce a new strategic partnership with our very good friend Nils. Most of you will know him as Arsenal Editor across many social media platforms. Nils is a Swedish-based French Gooner who was a founding member of the Gunners Town family in 2013. At that time, he […]
Over the years, goalkeepers such as Almunia, Fabianski, Mannone and Ospina were all simply not good enough. Szczesny certainly had potential but was far too rash, impulsive and didn’t command his area. And Cech never provided us with the desired consistency which was required and made frequent mistakes, particularly in his penultimate season (2017/18) with […]
Episode 22 “Season Predictions • Fulham Preview • Transfer Wishlist” Gav is joined by Mike and Woz as they discuss the Gunners Town Pod teams’ Season Predictions: Premier League, Fa Cup, Europa, Carabao Cup… (What are your predictions? – let us know below…) They also have a quick look at the season opener against Fulham […]
Disheartening, Depressing, Enlightening To be brutally honest, this is the first time in about six or seven years, with the new season about to start, that I actually have some real optimism. Wenger’s decline was disheartening. Unai’s one and a half years were depressing. Arteta’s 6 months have been enlightening. It helps that Saturday’s kick […]
