We’ve had at least 24hrs to calm down from the match against Leicester. An amount of time to dissipate the red mist and see things a little bit more clearly (or at very least not want to smash your TV). I’m no angel; I wasn’t best pleased with the result and was left asking so […]
With the window closed, at least for international transfers and for those within the Premier League, now seems the perfect time to assess our Arsenal’s Transfer Window. The final dat signing of Thomas Partey may be a game changer as it will impact how Arteta can play but this article examines not only the […]
Our 3-1 league defeat at Anfield was an unusual one to analyse and consisted of several ifs, buts and maybes.

Fans feed on belief and Mikel Arteta is obliging. To preview the season, I thought it would be fun to ask the Gunners Town readers for your opinion […]
