After such a comfortable 50 minutes at home to Anderlecht on Tuesday night, it was difficult to see how Arsenal could capitulate so easily. The injury to Mikel Arteta had an impact on the Arsenal team, after that they looked lazy, disorganised and rather fatigued. We must credit Anderlecht where it’s due, but to be […]
Top Class? Not anymore. First let me start off by saying that this is not one of those reactive, self-pitying rants that you get in the immediate aftermath of a poor result. The issues that I will raise have been in existence for some time now and I believe that no-one, not even the most […]
Are us fans too well informed? I went to the recent game against Hull City. To give you a picture, I’m the sort of fan that goes to occasional home games – sometimes when you don’t go to see Arsenal live weekly you can often see things more clearly. It’s like when you don’t see a […]
You know what’s odd about these spectacular collapses of ours? They just don’t surprise me anymore, I’m not even remotely shocked by it and worse still I don’t think the team are. We have various areas of the field that are way below the standard expected and until these issues are resolved and we actually […]
I reckon it’s quite a long shot nowadays, however I was thinking about one specific question raised during last AGM about Arsène Wenger succession at the club. The person asked whether or not the club was already planning for life after Arsène Wenger, seemingly more and more plausible that the Alsatian signed his last contract […]
I would like to state up front that this week’s view is not an Arsenal blog, but a football blog. So please forgive me for my indulgence. I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Western Sydney Wanderers. I’m not a Wanderers fan (Central Coast Mariners have my allegiance) but WSW recent achievement is […]
Today I am absolutely delighted to welcome back Antonia Hawken to Gunners Town. Antonia was a feature on the old ‘Welcome to the Gunners Town’ before the new management and wrote as ‘Gooner Girlfriend.’ Her last post was in January 2012 just after losing to Man United and can be read here. Delighted to have […]
“If we find the right player to strengthen the squad, we will buy” “We want to improve our team but we need to find players of better quality then those who are already here and that is difficult” This is Arsène Wenger, very easy guess. It’s much harder to get the exact date each of […]
It’s been a while since my last blog, far too long in all honesty but the hardest part about starting again is knowing where to start. I have many issues with this current Arsenal side and particularly with Arsene Wenger – but there is one area of the pitch that irks me more than most […]
We posted last week that what looks like another frustrating EPL campaign should perhaps result in a makeover for the Gunners—and it’s fair to say things aren’t looking mightily encouraging at the moment. Fourteen points through the first nine matches is less than ideal for a club with the sort of talent Arsene Wenger is […]
