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 […]

Liverpool’s English stars make a miraculous recovery!!!
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’m Theo let me know – Should I stay or should I go?
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 […]

Look Out! Arsenal and Puma have developed a new secret weapon for our lefties…
Gunners Town is delighted to be one of the few sites to whom Arsenal Football Club sends exclusive promotional material (and the occasional invite to launches/screenings/book signings etc). It’s one of the perks of maintaining a daily presence, blogging about the Goonerverse, I suppose! We’re looking forward to the day that we get sent transfer scoops – […]
Walcott can hold a gun to the club’s head again- But is the gun still loaded?
What do you do when someone holds a gun to your head? “I don’t need an agent, because I will never leave Arsenal”. This quote by Jack Wilshere has become iconic. It almost reaches the heights of Adams’ “Play for the name on the front of the shirt, and they’ll remember the name on the back.” […]
The Barcelona iPad Scouting App says the same as Citeh’s – We need Jack Wilshere this Summer
So here we go again. It’s not even April and the ‘Cant’alans are bloody well at it again. With Xavi joining the Qatari gravy train this summer, Barca need a midfielder to fill his immense boots. So Luis Enrique has whipped out his iPad, started up his scouting app, set the search to its default […]
The new Arsenal make dominance count with goals like proverbial buses, but more so WITH Ozil
Newcastle I said last week that in theory the Newcastle game should be an easy three points, but that easy games in the league were rare. Well it panned out that scoring the two goals that won the game was easy, and hanging on for the three points afterwards was hard. It felt to me […]
