A Gooner’s View of Other Clubs of the 2014-15 Season Part 9 Hi everyone. This is part 9 of my series of blogs about the status of the Premiership Clubs of the 2014-2015 Season following the conclusion of the League season. In this blog, I’ll be focusing on Manchester City. Of course, all of this […]
Arsenal’s newfound fear factor; Sp*rs to share Emirates? No way!
Singapore select XI We expected to beat them and we did. It was also by a score that reflected the difference in the teams and the occasion. I said last week that I was looking forward to watching Akpom and he didn’t disappoint. Three goals is also a good way to get the managers attention. […]
Arsenal FC’s TOP 10 TV Moments
These are not meant to be the top Arsenal moments but what I believe gave the best Arsenal theatre on TV. Please feel free to disagree & comment with your TV greats: 10 – ‘He may be cast in bronze, but he’s still capable of golden moments’ 9 – The Battle at Old […]
Time for Gabriel to get his chance with Bosscielny? Or is it business as ‘Per’usual?
My memories of Per Mertesacker’s time at Arsenal are certainly a mixed bag. At times I have used the old cliché ‘a submarine could turn faster’ and crucified our lanky German for being slow, which in all fairness is not really his fault. There are also memories of masterclasses in defensive positioning and leadership combined […]
We already have a Younger DM in Arteta’s mould – we didn’t need to buy Schneiderlin
Are you scratching your heads after reading the title? Or do you think yours truly has completely gone off the rails and thinks Bielik is ready for the step-up? In fact the answer is much simpler – and it doesn’t involve a 17-year-old to making a breakthrough anytime soon. Though I’ve heard reports about him […]
Wenger must EVOLVE trusted and multiple PARTNERSHIPS to allow TACTICAL ROTATION
We can all smell it – He can smell it – We are on the verge. It’s now about execution and belief. What does Arsene do now? He has this new wonderful team that is fluid, intelligent and technically arrogant – but also starting to show the mentality required to win. But football has changed. […]
Arsenal’s Premiership Template for Success -It’s not what you’ve got – it’s how you use it that will win you this league
The FA Cup win in 2014 was a relief, yes; but, it was unconvincing. Both mental and football flaws were still evident. I didn’t see how that Cup win would be used to build a challenge for the Premier League in the following season. The first half of last season saw performances that verified my […]
Research proves Lacazette would be a gamble for Wenger – Is it one worth taking?
The article on Gunners Town earlier today from Danny Ryan got me thinking as I edited it. He is correct to promote the merits of giving due consideration to those strikers we have at the club, over the big names the media and fans will links us to. Welbeck, Walcott and Giroud have all scored […]
Is Walcott the future Arsenal No.9? – Why we should be more positive about our forward options
Many of Wenger’s critics and indeed Arsenal fans generally are still convinced that the Gunners require a world class centre forward. Since the ever controversial departure of a certain Mr. van Persie, the clubs centre forward role has been one surrounded by debate and often with heavy doses of perhaps unnecessary scrutiny. This transfer window […]
A New Arsenal Shirt for a fan in real need! – Arsenal Family in Action
It was the morning of June 15th in Minehead, Somerset. George was standing with his son Dan on the sunlit platform, waiting for the First Great Western to arrive. The train was bound for London. As was always the case in mid-June, George was planning to attend Arsenal’s kit launch. As years went by, the […]
