The Garrison

The Garrison is our page for our sporadic columnists and feature pieces on the Gunners first team.

Contributors include:

Will Benn

William Benn is an attractive and well-built Arsenal fanatic living within pie-throwing distance of the Emirates. Supporter 1995-2013. Football-ignoring idiot 1998-2005, so managed to dramatically escape enjoying the greatest moments of our recent history. Made it back just in time for the CL final, thank goodness. Still an optimist, if a touch more cynical as the years go by. Will, will be writing about Arsenal as only Will can. Did we mention attractive?


Brian Fettner

Brian Fettner, known on Twitter as @GunnerFaithful.


Martijn Stolze

Martijn Stolze is an unwavering Gooner since 1998. All the staggering highs and shattering lows have taken a toll on his health.


Barnaby Merrill

Barnaby is a mere stripling in terms of life and footballing experience, but a lack of much resembling a social life has given him great insight into the world of football, from both a tactical and a fan's viewpoint. He's also fond of a nice soapbox, telling fans how best to get behind the team and respond to the mind-crushingly dull tide of transfer rumours that fill everyday Gooner life.


Lewis Rowland

This boyhood Arsenal fan enjoys writing about the beautiful game and Arsenal in particular. Lewis writes match previews, statistical analyses and opinion pieces.


Queen of Suburbia


Christopher Flanagan

Christopher is a man so obsessed with football he started writing academic papers about it. Christopher has been an attendee of the Arsenal for 20 years and it's safe to say he has enjoyed several minutes of it. Writing for Goonersphere about the business of football, the law around it, and anything else that piques his interest.


Andy Stern

Andy is an Arsenal fan who attends as many first team games as he can, as well as frequently going to youth games. He's a firm believer in Arsene Wenger, and despises people who have 'always loved watching Borussia Dortmund'! Achievements: Once nearly bought Marc Overmars' house...


What is the Plan B to Suarez?

Do you remember when the first Suarez to Arsenal rumour broke out, where the bookies suspended betting due to large amounts of bets somewhere in Spain?

Yeah, well at that moment I laughed all interest off and said we’d have no chance of signing the Uruguayan. Over the last few weeks that interest has become concrete since becoming public it has turned into an absolute mess. My stance hasn’t really changed despite the interest and I still feel we have pretty much no chance of signing Suarez, if I had to give it a percentage, I’d say 10%, and that’s being generous. I’ll tell you why, Liverpool are taking the stance we should’ve taken in regards to Van Persie and I believe they will not sell to us. People will say ‘well what about Torres to Chelsea, but I can’t see Liverpool making that mistake a second time and I genuinely think they believe we’re more of their rivals than Chelsea were.

Welcome to the Sh*tstorm

I talk while I tweet. That may sound unusual, unbalanced, even, and you'd be right. I often respond to tweets I read verbally rather than sending that fatal electronic series of sentences that would reveal what I really think of them. Sometimes I laugh. Sometimes I frown. Sometimes I weep like a broken-hearted child. But in these past few days, since the Emirates Cup, I find myself saying one thing again and again:
