It’s that time of the year again. Though the transfer window will only open in 6 weeks, the transfer mill is already churning out rumours and boasting actual signings. Depay will start next season in United colours after the Red Devils bought him for a ridiculous £31 million and Dybala (our long-rumoured target) […]
The defeat I was as surprised by the Swansea defeat as anyone, but I was more surprised by some of the fans reactions afterwards. I don’t consider myself an AKB, and certainly earlier on in the season I thought Wenger should go, but I’ve come to realise that perhaps I was wrong and I thought […]
Match Preview by Alex Baguzin Hi everyone. It’s United away on Sunday and it’s hard not to look at this game as crucial to our hopes of finishing second. As we know, our defeat to Swansea left our fate out of our hands. We now trail second-placed City by 3 points with a game in […]
TBIF – The Weekly Gunners Town Crew Review Friday The 15th May, 2015 Welcome to Thank Bergkamp It’s Friday – where members of the Gunners Town writing team gather to take a look at the Arsenal week that’s just passed. It’s a simple format, really – each week, a smattering of our eclectic scribes will select a HERO, a VILLAIN, a HIGHLIGHT, and a LOWLIGHT from […]
I was fortunate to not have seen this match live. I have, however, heard and read all about it. Statistically, this is Arsenal’s worst result vs. Swansea – further reading shows that we had not lost to Swansea at home since before 1981, back in the Highbury days. So, what happened? It was a […]
O Romeo, O Romeo, Wherefore Art Thou Romeo? This famous line is uttered by Juliet, in Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, to herself in a state of dichotomy – she loves a man who she must not because of his lineage; a rival family. Why does he have to be Romeo? If he was anyone else, […]
We’re not allowed to lose one single game, are we? In the exact moment Kevin Friend blew his whistle to sanction a very surprising and unwelcome home defeat against Swansea, the Arsenal world started to crumble. I’m not saying our defeat didn’t really bother me, I reassure you: I am such a sore loser and […]
“As Valencia’s deflected shot found the bottom corner I stared at the screen in disbelief. The sense of unreality swept over me. For a good while longer than a few seconds I’ve been (fruitlessly) trying to persuade myself that this wasn’t happening. This could not be happening. Simply because everything about this goal was so […]
by Liam Twomey No one would blame Arséne Wenger for picking the same starting XI that destroyed Hull City in thrilling style a week ago when Swansea City visit the Emirates Stadium on Monday night. Arsenal are the Premier League’s form side, unbeaten in 10 games since losing to Tottenham in early February as they […]
Okay, I know this is supposed to be a preview for the Swansea game but, frankly, not much has happened in the last couple of days that could affect the task at hand. Swansea’s striker Gomis should make it in time to face us at the Emirates (although, as the Frenchman has missed a couple […]
