Disappointment may be an understatement after Arsenal’s Champions League exit at the hands of Monaco, but feeling sorry for ourselves will not help our chances of finishing in the top four. Bouncing back with yet another Premier League victory is undoubtedly the best tonic for the Gunners, who may feel disappointed that they did not […]
Goon v Toon -Time to put a below strength Newcastle to the sword and retain momentum
Hello everyone this is my first article of many I hope from Russia for Gunners Town and you can read my bio at the end! – Alex My, the last couple of days dragged by painfully slowly. I suspect it’s as much to do with us playing on Tuesday as with all the subsequent […]
Has Wenger’s new kind of tactical flexibility made Arsenal unpredictable and dangerous?
Purely in terms of results, this has actually been a good week. It doesn’t feel like it for obvious reasons, but a 3-0 win and a 2-0 win are good results, not only because of the victories, but the nature of them too. We played very well in both games and rarely looked troubled at […]
Olivier Giroud may not be World Class but he is more classy than Durham, Scholes & Townsend
TBIF – The Weekly Gunners Town Crew Review Friday The 20th March, 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.

A Bonafide Arsenal Legend – The Original Box to Box Winger
It gives me great pleasure to present a review of a book by a published Gunners Town author, written by another published Gunners Town author. As you are no doubt aware, Dave and Anu have impeccable Gooner pedigrees, and two writers with more passion for Arsenal you’d be hard-pressed to find. I’m proud to know both of […]
Arsenal wasted 16 minutes hoping for a ‘Miracle in Monte Carlo’ rather than creating one!
Yes, we played well in Monaco. Yes, we could have scored at least one more goal. Yes, we showed character and desire. Yes, we gave the qualification away in the home leg. Yes, we fell short. The win in Monaco is very difficult to take, especially when you see the authority, command and […]
Exclusively Revealed – What Fergie said to Van Gaal about Coquelin.
Who is this Francis Coquelin they speak of? A friend of my cousin’s dog sitter’s milkman used to drink with the ex-postboy in Miers Porgan’s office at The Spews of the World. He was clearing out the ex-owners desk & found a laptop still connected to the internet & bizarrely it was still recording […]
Will Arsenal Skipper Arteta walk back in the team or do we have another Vermaelen?
Arsene Wenger announced in his pre match press conference that captain Mikel Arteta was back in training with the team and is due back to full fitness in three weeks. The Spaniard has been out with calf and ankle injuries since he went off in the Champions League win at home to Borussia Dortmund in […]
Coquelin should play alongside a DM rather than be the DM next season?
I’m the kind of writer who ‘jumps’ into conclusion, probably due to the desire to deliver and share my thoughts, while an observation is still fresh and there to be picked on. This perhaps hastily drives me to inferences that sometimes need polishing ‘here and there’. But make no mistake, I ultimately get the job […]
Mourinho playing the same players all season could be costly as ‘Wengerball’ Arsenal with returning stars look fresh?
Triumph against the Hammers has placed us 6 points under Chelsea for what’s likely to be a very short period. It does have me contemplating what result I desire in tomorrow’s game between Chelsea and Southampton, well to be honest it doesn’t, rarely do I ever want to see Chelsea win and an away victory […]
