No gathering for Arsenal v Brighton at Maggie McGarry’s. This is a rarity for us. Normally, we meet for every Arsenal match regardless of start time. However, due to unforeseen staffing challenges, Maggie’s will not be open this early. We’ll be back for the North London Derby on September 15th! Come on you Gunners!.

Complacency must have set in with that lot, as their numbers have surely waned this season. Matches against the Gunners seem toContinue reading “We had joy, we had fun”
