Today’s piece will follow a theme I used for a piece on Coquelin on my personal blog a few months ago. It is also, somewhat, an extension to the line of thought I advocated recently in a piece on dealing with the media and pundits. Don’t worry, this won’t be philosophical! This pertains to how […]
“I said last year that Arsene Wenger wasn’t top class – I was wrong Wenger is TOP CLASS!”
In November of last year I wrote a blog which the editors here at Gunners Town titled ‘Arsene Wenger is not top class anymore’, which was as accurate a reflection of the piece as you could get. It wasn’t a reactionary rant about another painful loss, (it was after we blew 3 goal lead to […]
Are Higuain, Benzema and Cavani all truly upgrades on Olivier Giroud? Perhaps not!
One of the interesting traits of human nature is that we tend to look for confirmation of our views. We also seem to be pretty consistent in our views: that means we don’t change and adapt them each time we find out something new, something that disproves our theory. It is normal: Thomas Bayes, an […]

A Small but significant victory for Arsenal Social Media in Moscow
After reading Andrea’s blog about being a Gunner is isolation I became reflective of my own situation. It’s fair to say I was isolated from Arsenal’s fanbase until very recently. I started supporting the Gunners back in 2005, with a habit of regularly watching their games not kicking in at least till 2008. That gave […]
Thierry Henry Thursday – A look back at special goals, Arsenal v Chelsea 04/05
The high of the cup win has started to wear off and the reality of the season break is beginning to sink in. Transfer speculation is rife in the Goonersphere resulting in endless debates among Gooners about who Arsenal need and why they need the said player(s). I never get into any of that, although […]
The Truth is that Gazidis, Wenger and Arsenal are creating a legacy to sustain us now and in the future – SO BE PROUD TODAY!
I would like to thank our friends at Forty Nine Undefeated for allowing us to post this superb article by Gooner Chris (@AFC_ChrisGooner) In a world where short term needs and requirements are largely put before long term planning, football is no different. In fact it is worse, it feels like not a day goes by […]

Gunners Town / Capture The Event – Personalized FA Cup Winners Collage Competition
On May 30th, 2015, Arsenal successfully defended their FA Cup title at Wembley against Aston Villa in a thrilling and historic Final.

If you had to watch the FA Cup Final on your own how would you feel?? Spare a thought for the enforced ‘Armchair Gooner.’
It’s Wednesday, Gooners. We should all have recovered from our wild celebrations following the FA Cup triumph, I believe; I have, anyway. I must admit it was easier for me, let me explain why. I enjoyed this win as much as you all did, I was impressed by our amazing performance and I […]
