It’s been a while, Gooners! I’ve been away on holidays and then very, very busy when I got back to work (coincidence?), which hasn’t left me any time to write my usual, weekly column for this wonderful community. I am back and I couldn’t be happier. Although disappointed by the fact that I couldn’t really […]
Our New Signing – Just who is Victor Thompson?
In the past few months we at Gunners Town, both Editors and writers have been overwhelmed by the interaction with the site of one man – Victor Thompson What began as the occasional respectful and insightful comment became a regular flow of comments which I know our writing team value and appreciate. The comments became […]
THE EVE OF THE BEGINNING; THE APOCALYPSE OR A NEW DAY?
I have been in a bit of a rut for a while now, because of the topsy-turvy manner our season has gone and this affected my writing about this team we have all chosen to support, for various reasons. Right now, as I pen this, on the eve of the mammoth match against the Red […]
The Arsenal Rolling Stone gathers no moss – Criticize Wenger, he don’t give a t*ss!
But if you try sometimes – you just might find – you get what you need Words by Wellmington, TheSundayMorningGooner Music by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards Olympiakos arrived at the Emirates And we thought it was in our own hands They turned up and got one over on us They turned up and out-fought […]
Coq jumping: our super-DM gets his own meme
I know this isn’t 4Chan. Or 9Gag. Or ebaumsworld. But posting these pics on those sites would go down like a lead balloon. So I’m posting them here, in the hope that they inspire you to put Coq in his rightful (elevated/superior) place. I’ve included the transparent Coq cutout at the bottom of this post so […]
Alexis, Ozil and Walcott Unplayable as The Gunners turn up for a big game in a big way
Barely have I finished watching the last replay of Sanchez’s delicious near-post heel flick, that the picture disappeared from my screen. Despite me watching a regular broadcast (yes, I made it in time) and not a stream from some website. I was calm for two reasons: I know such a thing sometimes happens and I […]
Excuse me, Mr. Wenger – where’s the buck stop?
This past week saw another disappointing night for Arsenal. Once again, we lost to a team that we reasonably expected to beat – Olympiakos had never won on English soil, and we have beaten them a few times before. Despite scoring twice, we still managed to lose the match after conceding within 60 seconds of […]
Deja Voodoo: Arsene’s Magic touch fails us (again)
After an impressive pre-season complimented by the addition of Petr Cech, I had started to consider against my better judgement that this season could perhaps be the one where Arsene would at last prove to his critics that he had finally learned from his past mistakes, however, despite my early season optimism I have once […]
Ramsey back central and Ox on the right to unlock a slow United Defence
Morning, ladies and gentlemen. It’s United we have to deal with today and once again I find myself searching for imperative adjectives which will demonstrate how we need a win. However, this time we need a win mostly for psychological reasons. Sure, City thrashed Newcastle yesterday (with a little help from Sergio Aguero), but dropping […]
The Red and White Roller Coaster ride of the Arsenal Fan, the Social Media Circus and some Perspective
Well, it’s been quite an eventful few weeks since I last wrote. Three wins, against Stoke, Spurs and Leicester, and three defeats, against Dinamo Zagreb, Mike Dean and most recently Olympiacos. If that doesn’t sum up the roller coaster ride that is being an Arsenal supporter then nothing will. Not much point going over old […]
