It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for Gunners Town, mainly as I’m writing a dissertation at the moment and that’s taking all the spare time I have right now. Thanks for Gunners Town firstly, for bearing with me during this time. Since I’ve been away, we’ve had some ups and downs haven’t we. […]
Why Bust A Gut For Glory On our travels again, off to see the Third of the big boys and BOOM! We implode, again. The Arsenal prove they are ‘The Team of Extremes’ again. Can’t blame jet lag this time, not really going to fly the couple of miles to Stamford Bridge. So who can […]
Week 32 – I Don’t Want to Go to Chelsea As I have said many times, I write this diary the way I do to look at what we go through as supporters during the season, in particular how things can change over the course of a season, a month, a week, a day or a […]
The last ten days have been introspective for Arsenal as a club and its supporters. Wenger1000 has dominated the media. We have been thrust into looking into the past – It’s been wonderful selecting our favourite teams yearning for Patrick Vieira, yearning for Thierry Henry yearning for those super technical athletes with a winning mentality […]
AFTER THE THRASHING – THE DRESSING ROOM (Parental guidance advised – contains very strong language.) After the thrashing, the hacks had gathered like hungry seagulls hovering around a trawler for scraps, awaiting Arsene Wenger’s press conference. “We have the cunt now!” “Backed right into a corner, mate!” “No defending this one, can’t even mention mental […]
Chelsea 6 Arsenal 0 – Arsenal Humiliated On Wenger’s Special Day When the sun finally sets on Arsene Wenger’s illustrious career, it’s safe to say that he won’t look back too fondly on his 1,000th game in charge of Arsenal. In the 18-year long tenure to date we’ve endured some humiliating displays especially in recent […]
Today I am delighted to introduce the follow up to the ‘If you were Wenger for a day’ article in which our writers selected their Arsenal team from a fully fit squad. It throw up some varied selections and indeed some interesting formations as well. In Part 2 in is the turn of Gunners Town […]
Despite the remarkable consistency of our back four this season, which has yielded 20 clean sheets in all competitions, it’s the midfield strength that has seen us compensate for lack of top quality up front. In a summer where the priority was to sign a world class forward, Arsene Wenger ended up getting two experienced […]
The Rioch Arsenal Years – 1995-2000 It started off with such positive feelings. Welcome to my commemorative post, celebrating the five years Bruce Rioch had in charge of The Arsenal. I will attempt to faithfully look back at the pivotal moments of his five incident-packed seasons at our famous North London side: 1995-96. Rioch’s debut season […]
We all love a bit of moaning on social media don’t we? We all think we know better than Arsene Wenger don’t we? We all think we can make tactical substitutions at the right time! We certainly all think that playing with the same formation week in and week out, regardless of the opposition and […]
