Arsenal eased into the 5th Round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 4-0 victory against Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium last night. Two goals in the first half from Lukas Podolski and two more from substitutes Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla wrapped up the encounter, with Arsene Wenger making several changes to his […]
Player hoarding – Why teams like Man City & Chelsea are killing careers
There are a lot of things to hate about Billionaire’s playthings Manchester City and Chelsea. A lot.That Chelsea were saved from bankruptcy (and almost certainly a subsequently enforced relegation into The Championship)when Roman Abramovich came in and pumped hundreds of millions of pounds into the West London side is one of them.Their team would have […]
Arsene Wenger given huge Arsenal problem: Two will miss out and one will prosper from Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
In the Premier League today, how many teams trust British players centrally to drive the team forward? Even more so how, many top four Champions League teams trust British players at the heart of their team? We are moving away from the Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes and Steven Gerrard obsession. At Arsenal we have three lads, all […]
Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta expresses World Cup inclusion hopes and dreams for Spain…or England
Having caught up with my Doctor Who obsession with a Saturday night marathon (keeps me awake for 2am kick offs!), I think I might have overdosed, as my mind seems to have taken a trip in time and dimensions in space… World Cup Diary of Mikel aged 32 1/3 Thursday June 12th 2014 and Mikel […]
Wojciech Szczesny hits back at Arsenal fans who cried for a new number one goalkeeper in spectacular fashion
On the back of a mixed 2012-13 season, Wojciech Szczesny experienced a summer of speculation as many fans were calling for a new Arsenal number 1 ‘keeper. After a shaky performance in the first game of the season against Aston Villa, the calls for a new goalkeeper intensified, but instead of letting that get to […]
Santi Cazorla responds to personal criticism, Julian Draxler and Paul-Georges Ntep news is out of this world, and Arsenal leave me needing new pants
Week Twenty Three – Just Keep Winning, I have Enough Pants Things I won’t be talking about this week: Whether Mesut Özil is any good Whether there are too many blogs and podcasts Whether a young French kid we haven’t even signed yet will be the next Nicolas Anelka or the next Yaya Sanogo… You’ve […]

Another London Derby Win for Arsenal?
My last column for Gunnerstown was way back in November, for Dortmund away. The result of that match as I’m sure you will remember was an emphatic one for us, so I’m hoping that I can carry on winning ways with this preview too. These previews have and possibly will be sporadic as I’m currently […]
Will Arsene Wenger sign a new striker for Arsenal during the January transfer window?
Arsene Wenger is known to be a miserly spender in the transfer market. He doesn’t believe in in a squad bought with money. He has always had an eye for talent and has made so many players from scratch and grow into big names. Cesc Fabregas, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Robin Van Persie, […]
The return of Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere
Having been overshadowed and perhaps somewhat intimidated by Aaron Ramsey’s rise to prominence at Arsenal, Jack Wilshere is re-finding form at the perfect time. Not only is Wilshere doing things he’s done well before, but he’s also adding goals to his game, which seems to me to be the most effective catalyst for improvement. Jack’s […]
