Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho’s ten encounter may not have been a classic, but perhaps did show a changing in the tide. Mourinho has never lost to Wenger in their ten meetings during his two spells in charge of Chelsea having won five and now drawn five but last night’s tie proved just the second […]
Week Nineteen – The Christmas Special As I write this diary up until Sunday evening, last week’s piece missed out on a couple of things that happened on Monday.

The Gunners Town crew wishes you a fantastic festive season, filled with love and merriment and bagloads of yummy Arsenal points! Be safe, wherever you are.
