Hello, good day, salutations and welcome to what is to be my first foray into the realms of bloggery in the hallowed digital halls of Gunners Town. Firstly, let me preface the rest of this post with an acknowledgement. Much of what’s penned here will concern things that you, the dedicated Arsenal fan that you […]
Afternoon all you lot. You find this column on the eve of Arsene Wenger’s first USA-hosted Arsenal game. New York Red Bulls and a certain Monsieur T. Henry await an Arsenal team who, once again, look a little light at the back and upfront. With plenty of time before the transfer window closes, there is […]
In today’s world, for football clubs to become hugely successful they should have a world-class stadium, a large fan base and a marketable name to be able to survive around the big fish. At Arsenal, those things have been looked at and done since 1913. As most of us Gooners know, Arsenal Football Club […]
Gunners Fair is back, and so is the good run of form that had been a bit missing off late for the Arsenal Ladies. 6 matches (5 wins and 1 loss) later, things are definitely back on track for the side currently under interim manager, John Bayer. Bayer, who has been the technical director of […]

The Arsenal skipper does seem to be pretty tight-lipped on his future at […]
Footballers as Role-models? Really?! I don’t know why, but I am compelled to write this post on the so-called phenomenon that ‘footballers are role-models.’ This subject comes around and around and this week it has arisen again after Jack Wilshere was photographed (having his privacy invaded, by the way) smoking a cigarette in Las Vegas whilst […]
I haven’t written in a while, what with the World Cup and Wimbledon, and that thing called summer, and the Twitter twats that it brings along with its long days, sunshine and cider.
