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 […]
Now I know many more esteemed bloggers than I have broached this topic, but I wanted to put a different slant on the subject. Following Saturday’s successful but ultimately disappointing performance, questions regarding our midfield have raised their ugly heads again. Arsene chose the odd but partially enforced formation of 4231, playing the much maligned […]
I like to clear things up so I’ll start by saying I’m not trying to defend Arsene as I’m still baffled at how he refused to bring in a top quality shield in the summer, especially since we seem to favour 4-1-4-1. However, the issue of Arsenal needing a defensive midfielder has been somewhat overrated […]
Arsenal were plunged deeper into crisis last night, as their second poor performance in a week means they are now on the verge of being voted out of football by the public. Despite winning both games, the fact that football teams are now judged on performance, rather than results, the Gunners only chance of glory […]
