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, […]
Keep Calm And Support The Arsenal or PANIC!!! (It’s Your Call)
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 […]
LET’S TRY AND PUT THIS GIROUD/WALCOTT DEBATE TO BED, SHALL WE?
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, […]
5 Questions to arise from Premier League Game Week 1
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 […]
Come on Gunners – There is No ‘I’ in Team so don’t blame individuals
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 […]
Arsenal 0-2 West Ham: expensive Cech proves costly…
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 […]
Mr. Wenger – stop fiddling! You got the balance right LAST season…
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 […]
Why Arsenal? Letter to a brand-new Junior Gunner after the West Ham fiasco
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) […]
Time for Wenger to make a bold decision and upset one of our Star Centre Midfielders
We seem to have a bit of a dilemma concerning the central are of the field where most of our top players are based and it’s finding the most balanced midfield. Ramsey has made his desires very public about wanting to play centrally but there’s a reason Wenger has moved Santi Cazorla there since Coquelin’s […]
