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...


Confessions Of A Transfer Addict

I know how insane it is but I am, wait for it, a transer addict and since admitting I have a problem is the first step to recovery, well, there it is. I can't get enough of the rumors, ITK info, airport pics, etc. I eat it all up like it's frozen peanut butter cups. The summer window is one of those times when hope for every club's fanbase is at an all time high. It's like the moment you buy a lottery ticket. You start to dream of what you would do with all of that money even though deep down you know you have no chance whatsoever. Except in our case we dream of worldies. Rooney, Suárez, Higuain all have beautiful runs on the perfect pitch that is our imagination and bend amazing free kicks into the top corner of our daydreams. Let me go through a typical summer day for me.

Defensive Midfielder: Arsenal targets by numbers

After reported bids for both Fellaini and Bender, I think it is pretty obvious that Wenger is after a Defensive Midfielder this summer. I have compiled a list of all the Defensive Midfielders we have been linked to recently, and will give you my view on what I think of them based on what I’ve seen and statistics from last season.
