Howdy. Sorry for prolonged radio silence, but I bear good news: I’m finally done with uni (at least till September) and you’ll have my unreserved attention from now on. I’m also a bachelor of law now, only the formalities remain, so hit me with your congratulations in the comment section below. Anyway, quite a lot […]
Having been back in England for the past two weeks, I’ve been a bit more immersed in the the media culture of the motherland and I have come away with a few observations: 1 – According to the media and Twitter, Jamie Vardy has gone from being a top class, must have striker, to an […]
It’s been almost two weeks since we supposedly activated the release clause in Jamie Vardy’s Leicester City contract and the speculation has become increasingly tiresome. In the days that followed our alleged bid for Vardy, news also broke of Manchester City reportedly attempting to agree a deal for Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The reaction to […]
Howdy. Euro 2016 marches on and further 6 games took place in the last two days. I’ll take a look at 3 of these, simply because the other 3 weren’t nearly as interesting. Germany 2-0 Ukraine Like with the hosts, the first thing that instantly draws your attention to the German team sheet is a […]
Gunners Town Exclusive Memorabilia Competition 179 – Just Done It In September it will be 25 years since Ian Wright signed for Arsenal, a couple of months shy of his 28th birthday. (To call him a late bloomer would be an understatement: he was almost 22 when he signed his first professional contract for Crystal Palace.) […]
Since all eyes are trained on the European championship in France and little is happening in even the world of transfer rumours, I decided it would be a good idea to write about how the tournament progresses. Naturally, a huge chunk of my attention will be focused on Arsenal players, since that’s what interests us […]
The silly season is upon us again and the result is fans being treated to transfer rumours of varying credibility almost on a daily basis. We all know the holes Arsenal need to plug this summer (one we already did), but we are still some distance off having a complete squad. My conviction is that […]
Arsenal Circular 149 With the close season upon us Victor Thompson gave me – unwittingly – a phrase which prompts me to write this Arsenal Circular. He kindly said that he enjoyed reading about “gems of history” – Arsenal history. In Arsenal Circular 148 I mentioned an encounter at Lords yesterday with an elderly Bury supporter […]
If Jamie Vardy is the answer, then I’d love to know what the question is. This is such a left field *signing from Arsene, those fans who were screaming for change and ranting for Arsene to change his policy, not even in their wildest imagination did they ever expect this. I have had a week […]
2016/17 – The Arsenal without the Internet Last Friday I was lucky enough to attend the end of season supporter’s event at the Emirates, which included Q & A sessions with Ivan Gazidis and Lee Dixon. I was going to cover this in more detail, but in all honesty everything worth covering was either covered on […]
