So Arsenal have injury woes again. Bears shit in the woods, The Pope is Catholic and Dolly Parton sleeps on her back. I’m usually pretty balanced with my views on Arsenal and oddly despite being the most emotional of characters, I don’t generally rant like a belligerent child over all things related to the club […]
There have been some thought provoking events in recent weeks. Yes, I am talking about injuries and since then we have had a load of people talking about how Wenger has to be held responsible for it. My colleague, Alex of the Tsar Cannon has come up with a post right here where he talks […]
Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez are gone for a while, there’s no apparent way to stop the unmatched growth of our list of injured players. We have recruited Shad Forsythe – arguably the best fitness expert in the world – and yet we have players going down with muscular injuries at a very frightening rate. One […]
Gunners Town Co-Editor Dave Seager was asked by Sunderland Blog ‘Salute Sunderland’ to chat about this Saturday’s visit to the Emirates of the Black Cats. Our thanks to Colin Randell who has allowed us to reproduce Dave’s interview and thoughts here: Dave Seager* is the man (One of!) behind the popular Arsenal fan site Gunners […]
I have just read Alex`s article after the Norwich game. “Bad luck poor presentation or fragile English players”. I was going to write a simple critique on the Norwich match but I found it difficult to avoid writing the same critiques that I wrote for previous games (West Brom, West Ham, and Sheffield Wednesday etc.) […]
I’m still standing ? Not much to say following Sunday Bloody Sunday, well except, “Oh look it’s November, let’s all book a trip to the physio”. The defeat sucks, but the injuries are are verging on ridiculous. If all the tests are as bad as they probably will be, the best starting XI we can […]
As you may (or may not know) – Gunners Town is a UK/South African co-operative. It is owned and run by Dave Seager – a.k.a. @goonerdave66 – (UK) and Batmandela – a.k.a. @invinciblog – (South Africa). In the two-and-a-half years that we have been up and running, we have had nearly 4 million visitors. Gunners […]
Well, that didn’t quite work out as expected, did it? More dropped points against opposition we shouldn’t be dropping points against, 3 new injuries to vital players and a no-wins November. I won’t even bother counting how many points Arsenal averaged this November, despite less than hectic schedule and more than manageable opponents. Simply put, […]
We travel to Carrow Road to take on Norwich and this is our chance to record the first league win in November (in three attempts). Frankly, I find the correlation between time of the year and points haul a bit strange, yet the facts tell us November is Arsene’s worst month as Arsenal’s manager. The […]
When Olivier Giroud scored the opening goal from a crossed Mesut Ozil free-kick in our game against West Brom, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only Gooner who felt that the team had been scoring a lot more frequently from set-pieces this season. I have commented on it myself on my blog, and I’ve read […]
