Opposing goals

Arsenal dispatched PSG in Champions League action on Tuesday with some aplomb. I particularly enjoyed Barney Ronay’s take on it in the Guardian. Saturday brings us the return of Aaron Ramsdale and Southampton to the Emirates. Rambo was a likeable, capable fellow, but Arteta’s decision to replace him with Raya looks like genius now, asContinue reading “Opposing goals”

Red October

No time to dwell on Arsenal’s scrappy win against Leicester. Beginning with tomorrow’s Champions League match against Paris Saint Germain, you have 5 opportunities to watch Arsenal with us at Maggie McGarry’s (21+). We had a decent enough crowd Saturday, but I was a little surprised it wasn’t more crowded. We’re lucky to have aContinue reading “Red October”

Do you believe in magic?

Or at least the dark arts? Having City equalize in the dying moments of extra extra time felt a little deflating, but after reflecting on it, one must acknowledge the yeoman’s effort it took for a 10-man side to hold off the reigning champions for a full half. And the way their players and fansContinue reading “Do you believe in magic?”

Maggie’s Derby Sunday

I always hesitate calling these matches against Manchester City a “Maggie McGarry’s Derby” because it gives it gives equal standing to their shoddy little supporters group at the pub. But as anyone who’s been to Maggie’s knows, it’s an Arsenal pub, and City fans are largely tolerated because one of the owners is a long-timeContinue reading “Maggie’s Derby Sunday”

Atalanta, then City

Grand time at Maggie’s Sunday. Another North London Derby in the books as the Gunners ground out a gritty 1-nil result. Without Ødegaard or Rice in the midfield, this was largely on the backs of our defense. Timber, Gabriel, and Saliba and (the dark arts of) Ben White applying the clampdown on Spurs, with Gabriel’sContinue reading “Atalanta, then City”
