Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Premier League Review Another “acceptable” loss…… The “Kings of London” derby ended in a defeat. And like the City game, it was a mix of bad and good. The bad was poor defending and positioning. In some cases, our finishing wasn’t that good either. But the good was […]
It’s not much longer now. Pre-season has concluded, a taste test of the Emery era has been served, and football that matters is only hours away. I’ve always believed that preseason should be taken with a grain of salt. I felt disjointed lineups and teams playing at half speed can lead to few concrete observations. […]
This the second part in the welcoming of our new manager, Unai Emery. View Part 1 here. Here, I will see how he could solve our specific issues, and what we could expect from him in his first season. I must say that his press conference was well done. His English isn’t that bad, though […]
Déjà vu. Groundhog Day. A season supporting Arsenal football club. Nothing ever seems to change with our club, as we slowly slowly slide down the pole of mediocrity. What we thought would be an improved season after the first year of missing out on a top four place in 20 0dd years has rather turned […]
When I sat down to write this review it suddenly hit me I cannot recall the last time I wrote about an Arsenal win. I went ahead and checked … It was on December 29, a 3-2 win over Palace. Now, admittedly, it’s partially my fault. I couldn’t cover the win over Chelsea in semis, […]

Östersunds 0-3 Arsenal Europa League Round of 32 First Leg Well, this was comfortable. Three away goals, and surely a round of 16 tie. Yes, we shouldn’t jump the gun, but to concede four at home is wild. But then we’re Arsenal, so who knows? However, we rode the wave here, and got out alright. […]
I’m not the usual match previewer here on Gunners Town – but I thought I’d give it a bash. How hard can it be? First, a little background on tonight’s opponents… Background “Östersund” means ‘wheelbarrow’ in Swedish, and it’s quite appropriate, since the entire population could fit in a wheelbarrow. A very big wheelbarrow. Not […]
It was my timid hope before the game that the 0-0 draw against Chelsea in midweek was a bit of a turning point. A kind of springboard into league games, a platform, defensive first and foremost, which we can build on. This timid hope was squashed as Arsenal reverted back to type. Without the departing […]
Nottingham Forest 4-2 Arsenal FA Cup 3rd Round January 7th 2018 This is a new low. Forest have tradition, and have done things we haven’t (European Cup). But then we allowed them to bully us, press us, and dominate our defence. Online betting sites such as 888Sport and virtually the whole footballing world had Arsenal […]
