Here we go again. Sunday marks the start of the 2025/2026 Premier League season for Arsenal, who head to Old Crapford to take on Man United. Is it our time?
The club made multiple signings in the off season, adding Kepa, Zubimendi, Norgaard, Madueke, Mosquera, and Gyokeres to the roster. Attempts to buy Crystal Palace’s Eze have stalled, but rest assured fair-weather fans will make it out to be a momentous transfer window failure.
Still, we have reached a critical juncture in the Arteta project. He’s been given significant reinforcements and will be judged harshly if the Gunners fail to nab some silverware.
I start every season with an unbridled optimism we will win it all, and the excitement of being back at Maggie McGarry’s with our Gooner community.
We’ve added new swag this season, a limited edition Bay Area Gooners hoodie! The only way to guarantee you get yours, is to pre-order via this form. You’ll need to pick them up from me at Maggie’s during weekend matches, unless you make shipping arrangements. Anticipating orders being ready for pick up beginning with the Liverpool match, Sunday August 31st.
If you have any interest in Premier League Fantasy Football, we do have a Bay Area Gooners league you can join! Click here to join! You must select your players to gain access.
During the off season, we profiled a couple of our Gooner family. If you missed it, read about Jose and Michelle, just two of the Arsenal supporters you’ll rub shoulders with this season.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this Sunday! We’ll have a free raffle at half-time and one lucky Gooner will win a free BAG hoodie.
COYG!
Best, Mark
