The window is now shut and we’ve had a largely underwhelming one. I could write 20 paragraphs about my disgust with this situation and reveal my rage but honestly what is the point? I expected Arsene Wenger to disappoint despite forcing myself into a late glimmer of hope and that is what has happened. Rather […]
The Morning after the Night before – More Squad questions than answers Monsieur Wenger?
Hi All, I had to write this for cathartic reasons!! So, the transfer window light has been flicked off and we are shufflling out of the other side blinking, squinting and staring into the new dawn. On the face of it, Arsenal have a nice, solid looking squad of twenty six. Goalkeepers – Cech, Ospina and presumably […]
THE PROLIFERATION OF THE ARSENAL TROLL – A Modern Phenomenon?
Okay so some might have qualms with my choice of word used to describe the increase in the number of Arsenal trolls around but hey, they are as dangerous as the word it’s normally used to describe; Nuclear Weapons. In this day and age, the advent of social media has had astounding effects on the […]
Newcastle review: Theo underachieves as the Gunners get the points
Like I said before the game, away days at St. James park are always hard. Yes, we still manage to win there, but our last three meetings with the Toons (now four) finished with a solitary goal to separate the two teams: 1-0, 2-1, 1-0 and 1-0. However, there are different kinds of hard. Yesterday’s […]
Mute Michael Owen. Match commentary by real Arsenal fans. Courtesy of Gunners Town.
Tired of listening to the same old boring and biased match commentary? Or having to listen to Michael Owen wax cynical? Or trying to decipher what the hell it is that Jamie Carragher is emitting from his face-hole? Yeah. We are too! Always ahead of the curve, and prepared to lose a fingertip to technology’s […]
Koscielny on track to return and partner Gabriel as Gunners look to secure a vital away win
We face Newcastle today and, once again, we badly need to win the game. It’s kind of funny to be in such a position 3 games in, but our less than spectacular start ensured we need a second away win in a row. Interestingly enough, we have a very good record away from home: 6 […]
“Striker Crisis!”: Arsenal fans missing the point – blaming Giroud achieves nothing.
Arsenal fans are missing the point over striker crisis – blaming Giroud achieves nothing. The outcry over Arsenal’s attacking prowess this week has been so demonstrably ill-proportioned that I can’t quite believe it has happened. Wave after wave of unreasonable attacks unleashed upon Olivier Giroud have left a sour taste in the mouth of everybody […]
The Ox Shines as Arsenal players play cricket with Indian Premier League & Essex cricketers
Arsenal Football Club invited IPL and and Essex cricketers, Ravi Bopara and Ryan ten Doeschate to the Arsenal Training Ground to take part in a cricket challenge earlier this month. The cricket duo taught newcomers to the sport David Ospina and Gabriel how to bowl, before taking part in a bowling competition. Each side bowled […]
Arsenal MUST score first to make the opposition play and time to try Gabriel and Koscienly v Toon
Liverpool I won’t spend long talking about the Liverpool game because it’s already been covered superbly by some of my fellow GT writers. We started badly and we were lucky not to be down by a couple of goals at half time, but unlucky to have had a perfectly good goal disallowed. I felt that […]
Ambition? Competition? Incomplete Squad? Why Arsenal fans need to rationalise the transfer window
“I am always confident that a last-minute situation or solution is available, because the transfer market is especially moving in the last four or five days. But at the moment I cannot promise you that. We have specific targets but sometimes you get an idea from somebody because you didn’t know that the player you […]
