After a slow start to the season, with inconsistent performances home and away, are we finally seeing the best of this Arsenal squad? Last weekend’s 4-1 win against Liverpool was a fantastic performance – maybe the best of the season. Though the opening months of the season weren’t always great to watch, Arséne Wenger was still trying to […]
My thoughts about Jack Wilshere have often been that he should be a deep-lying playmaker in the mould of Andrea Pirlo, the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian midfielder. Jack has an excellent range of passing and a decent first touch. However, he is usually deployed higher up the pitch with more offensive orders by Arsene Wenger, […]
You smell that we can score goals. We did, Arsène. We did. Yet, we are looking for another 10-15 goals a season player. The manager himself said we need another body able to find the back of the net at least ten times a season; he didn’t specify he was thinking of a forward or a midfielder […]
Recently there’s been a lot of chatter about Theo, his contract & his place in the team. Theo has divided opinion ever since he joined The Arsenal in 2006. He has undoubted speed, apparently the fastest professional footballer in the world, (although Bellerin is supposed to be quicker), it’s whether his brain can keep up with […]
When going into the game, I honestly didn’t expect for Arsenal to pull off something like that. It has nothing to do with lack of belief: I always believe we can beat the opposition, whatever the circumstances. Rather, I knew it was make-or-break for Liverpool: a loss would basically mean they finish outside the top […]
Arguing with some people can drive you crazy. Whether it’s online, in the pub, at school… You’re going along just fine – having a healthy (if somewhat heated) discussion about some crucial Arsenal-related topic – when suddenly they say something that gets your tongue tied, makes your blood boil and your ears burn. Because once they’ve said it, the argument flies off […]
At Gunners Town we wanted to celebrate Olivier Giroud winning the Barclays Premier League Player of the Month Award for March. His hot streak continued with a delightful striker to wrap up a comfortable win over Liverpool yesterday. So with the kind permission of Dave and 1 Nil Down 2 One up here is a […]
Actual football returns as we take on Liverpool at the Emirates in what is probably the most important game during the run-in. Win, and we open a nine-point gap on the Mugmashers and maintain at least a seven-point one on Spurs and Southampton. However, Liverpool is a dangerous team to play right now, exactly because […]
I read with interest Alex’s column from Tuesday. I think Theo really needs to up his game in order to stay at Arsenal. I honestly do not think he can up his defensive game to the level required of him as, in my opinion, he doesn’t have the ability to do so. Theo is […]
The good news came in yesterday: Mathieu Débuchy, Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are all ready to battle for a place in the squad that will face Liverpool on Saturday. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ready to follow in their footsteps next week already, players are going to take internal competition to the next level: making at least […]
