Hello there you wonderful reader you. I’ve been threatening to pen some thoughts for Dave for some time but never really managed to get enough time to jot down something vaguely coherent enough for what I think is deemed worthy of Gunners Town. Usually my rambling nonsensicalness (that can’t be a word, surely, but I’m […]
Week Twelve – And Now You’re Still Not Gonna Believe Us….. This week we played two teams that I have an extreme personal hatred for, and it turned out to be the perfect example of how the emotions we experience throughout the season can change so quickly and dramatically in the course of just a […]
The topsy-turvy emotional Gooner rollercoaster continued this week with a loop-the-loop that left you feeling like a kebab being primed and ready before being dished out to an unruly drunk member of the public in the early hours of a Sunday morning. But enough about my recent adventures with good pal Vodski, and onto what […]
Welcome to ‘Rocky’s Round Up.’ My third look back at the previous months highs and lows from a passionate fans perspective. We began with ‘feel good,’ had a wobble or two, a few wins when not playing so well, always a good sign and ended on a real high. Players to return and a huge […]

After our midweek slump against Chelsea, I can think of teams I’d rather play that Liverpool at the moment. Liverpool are in a good run of form, not dissimilar to us and will want to do everything to keep that momentum going. With two defeats in two games at The Emirates, we can’t afford to […]
Five things we have learnt about Arsenal this week: Hello gang, thanks for dropping by and coming back for some more of my own-brand, taste the difference pieces on our beloved Arsenal Football Club. I for one have had an interesting week; my eleven month old daughter has been recovering from her first stomach bug […]
Many of us flock to the computer in the morning to read the latest blogs by serial Arsenal bloggers Arseblog and Gunnerblog. There are many other solid blogs out there, but those two always struck me as the two largest from our kin. Most of the time I agree completely with what they say, and […]
If you forget about the recent losses at the Emirates against Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, it’s been a very good start to the season. We’re top of the Premier League, spent big money on a genuinely world-class player in Mesut Ozil and have a good chance of getting through our group in the Champions […]
