I have been silent for some time as far as articles go, but frankly, there has been very little to inspire me that hasn`t been covered by the excellent Gunners Town crew. I have confined myself to commenting fairly detailed replies on many of these articles. In recent times though, there is one consistent topic […]
I have just read Batmandela`s beautiful article ” Arsenal in Crisis – Yes”. I recommend that you read it dear reader. I was going to write a review of last night`s match which was not going to be particularly harsh on our players, when I read the above article. By the time I had finished […]
I have been writing for Gunners Town now for two years and sending comments in for a year before that. I have varied between ecstatic praise to gut wrenching despair and utter frustration. We are now in a position of desperation which I did predict about 18 months ago. The comments from fellow contributors have […]
I have read a lot of commentaries on our disastrous defeat on Sunday. There are common themes in all of them and I am thoroughly dismayed at the threads running through many of them which some of my contemporaries are highlighting. It brings me no comfort to find that I have been identifying the same […]
This is the response to an article written by a well balanced and very reasonable man, who has an admirable streak of loyalty to friends and people with whom he attaches himself. The article contains references of Arsene Wenger`s loyalty to the club and therefore there is a kind of kindred spirit between him and […]
I have just watched the match on TV and I was resolved to post a blog on the game when I sat down to write it and I saw Alex Baguzin`s preview. As usual he was pretty accurate in the make-up of the team and he identified the threats of the opposing team. Unfortunately he […]
I have read some newspaper reports yesterday and today and it is a gloomy occupation this morning to be reading the comments by fans. The Arsene Out Brigade (of which I am a member), are venting their spleens this morning on Twitter, and looking for blood. They are seeking Wenger`s head and laying the blame […]
It is almost Christmas and our minds are cast back to its origins. The first people who beheld the portent of the good news at Christmas were the three wise men who followed a star to the scene of the nativity. Are we now seeing our own star in the shape of one Mezut Ozil. […]
We knew that few if any of the team which beat Spurs would be playing and that is what we got. I used to banter my Spurs supporter friend that Spurs were playing in “The Losers Cup” when they regularly played in it, whilst we were in the “Proper Cup” for top teams. We couldn`t […]
Unusually, after a victory over one of the top 4 teams, we have been rejoicing in the superlatives being showered on Arsenal and it is even sweeter that the vanquished team was the Spuds. The cockerel from The Seven Sisters Road has been silenced for a while and left once again to sit and stare […]
