Hello fellow Gooners, it’s me…again! Double session this week, like the one some of our players would deserve after the horror show last Sunday. Alan Pardew and Crystal Palace are not far away, hence I tried to imagine how Arsène Wenger could spread his men across the pitch: it’s safe to say that some things […]
Fancy yourself as a bit of a poll-dancer? Well – dance your way around this. Six questions*. One minute… GO!
Good news guys, I’m not going to talk about the home loss to West Ham. It was ugly and unexpected but it’s past already, none of our moaning or brilliant words of advice will change the result. I’d rather talk about what’s up next: Crystal Palace away, Liverpool at home, Newcastle away, Stoke at home, […]
A little perspective… Let’s get straight to the point: Sunday was disappointing, demoralising, and every other negative adjective you can think of. Seven days earlier, we played a game that defied the statistics, shamed the haters and lost some unfortunate souls a bit of money. How did we then lose to a team against whom […]
I must say, I got invited to do a piece for Gunners Town nearly a month ago but I dawdled on it for a little while. Why? One does not simply wake up and write for Gunners Town- the piece has to be just right, about the right topic. I had a myriad of ideas, […]
Does Pre-season mean anything? You can beat everyone who’s put in front of you during pre-season, even your biggest rivals (eventually) but if you believe the hype and don’t turn up at the big show, it means nothing !! You can beat everyone who’s put in front of you during pre-season, even your biggest rivals […]
It’s interesting how, considering football is a team sport, we tend to idolize or castigate individuals on a regular basis. Why is that? This thought and question entered my mind during pre-season when Arsenal Twitter went gaga over a certain Jeff Rene-Adelaide and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. I would have written about this earlier but at that […]
As the game petered out towards its inevitable conclusion, I was fuming. I couldn’t comprehend what was happening. I was sitting in an empty sports bar in Greece in the middle of nowhere in smoldering heat and wished dearly I hadn’t made it to the game. Arsenal produced a shambles of a performance. During the […]
Arsenal must build on last year’s success Let’s be honest – the West Ham game was a nightmare and not an ideal start. With the new-found extra-competitive nature of the league – due to the obscene amounts of money knocking around – this is an instant warning and signal that there are most certainly no […]
On Saturday I was speaking to my sister in Hawaii, and she told me that her boyfriend’s 13-year-old son, Blu, was now playing ‘soccer’ (football) and was interested in following the premier league. I told her it was perfect timing, since the season was about to kick off, and that NBC was streaming (and storing) […]
