It seems as if Alexis Sanchez’s impending transfer to Manchester United is not a matter of “if” but “when.” The name being bandied about as makeweight in the deal is one Henrikh Mkhitaryan. It’s far from a given that the Armenian will join, but reliable sources seem to think a deal is close. Arsenal’s recent […]
Despite being a strong opponent of the January/Winter transfer window, Arsene Wenger during that period in the year 2006 pulled off a piece of business which was hailed and slammed in equal measure by anyone concerned, not different from anything Arsenal in the last few years. He had signed from the Southampton football club academy, […]
Arsenal, how the mighty have fallen. And how we’re allowing the sore to grow. The latest defeat to Bournemouth highlights how far we’ve fallen. But why do we allow the sore to fester? We’re sick. But then we’re not resolving the sickness. I feel like we’re viewing a bad cut, and not making any effort […]
I have been writing for Gunners Town now for two years and sending comments in for a year before that. I have varied between ecstatic praise to gut wrenching despair and utter frustration. We are now in a position of desperation which I did predict about 18 months ago. The comments from fellow contributors have […]
The ordinary era: identity under threat. This season has been different to others. Normally we start brightly, collapse mid-winter before recovering enough for a top 4 battle and FA cup grab at the end. While I love the FA cup and I’m thankful for being able to see my team regularly lift it at […]

Emmanuel Adebayor of […]

It’s not Antiquated Arsene, it’s not Short-armed Stan, it’s the Kit !!!!!!! Since moving to The Emirates, we have not had the success that we were promised or expected. The majority of fans lay the blame for this at the door of Arsene. the owner and the board. But…… I actually believe that they are […]
Bournemouth 2-1 Arsenal Premier League Matchday 22 Vitality Stadium – January 14th, 2018 Bournemouth grabs first ever win over Arsenal More bad news? Seems like it. It doesn’t rain, but it pours, seemingly….. The starting line-up didn’t include Sanchez, amidst the speculation of him joining United (over City no less). Iwobi, despite his recent […]
It was my timid hope before the game that the 0-0 draw against Chelsea in midweek was a bit of a turning point. A kind of springboard into league games, a platform, defensive first and foremost, which we can build on. This timid hope was squashed as Arsenal reverted back to type. Without the departing […]
