What is Gunnerblog?
Updated
Gunnerblog is a personal blog about Arsenal Football Club, written by a fan and published under the handle "GilbertoSilver." Its own tagline describes it as "Blogging about all things Arsenal from 2004 – 2014," and the archived posts visible on the site run from April 2015 back through that earlier period. If you are looking for match reactions, video discussion, and opinion pieces written from a supporter's point of view rather than official club news, this is the kind of site you would visit.
What kind of content does it publish?
The site is built around short, opinionated posts tied to Arsenal's matches and news. The visible archive shows a consistent format:
- Match reactions — immediate written responses to results, such as a 4-1 win over Liverpool or a 1-0 win over Burnley.
- Video posts — "On the Whistle" reaction videos recorded after games, embedded or linked in the post.
- Fan commentary and debate — pieces that ask open questions, like whether there is a better team in England than Arsenal at that moment, or which striker the writer would swap Olivier Giroud for.
- Reader interaction — each post carries a comment count (for example, "8 comments," "12 comments"), so the blog functions as a discussion space, not just a one-way feed.
The tone is conversational and often self-deprecating. The Burnley post, for instance, admits there is "really incredibly little to say" about the match and jokes about what the podcast might discuss instead.
Who writes it and how is it structured?
Posts are attributed to GilbertoSilver, and the site includes standard blog sections: Home, About, Archives (2004–10), and Contact. The archive label suggests the writing spans roughly a decade, with the 2015 posts appearing as later additions beyond the stated 2004–2014 range.

It is not a news wire or a stats database. It reads as a fan's running diary of a season, useful if you want retrospective reaction and discussion around specific Arsenal matches rather than fixtures, tables, or transfer confirmations.
