Thrilled Arsenal finished 2022 with a win away at Brighton. Despite going up 0-3, the Gunners found themselves with plenty to do in the remaining 25 minutes of the match, as the Seagulls would not die quietly and it all ended with a rather nervy finish. Still, sitting atop the Premiership table with a 7Continue reading “Jan 3 v Newcastle United, 11:45a”

Last Arsenal match of 2022!
Lovely to see the Gunners continue their winning ways. Gooners at the pub agree we’ve lost the apprehension and despair that permeated last season’s matches when Arsenal would go down a goal. This season’s model has us all brimming with confidence that the team will not only fight back but persevere and get a result.Continue reading “Last Arsenal match of 2022!”
And we are back!
After an intolerable and unnecessary international break, that saw our best player injured, Arsenal are finally back! Can they continue the momentum that has them sitting top of the table? Who will step up in Gabriel’s absence? Will we sign anyone in January? The season restarts with more questions than answers. But the important thingContinue reading “And we are back!”

Ooh to be a Gooner: Mahlon
One might easily believe Mahlon Christensen was predestined to be a Gooner. Some 17 years, ago he wins a 2002-2003 Arsenal away kit during a pub quiz. Soon after, his good friend and rabid Arsenal supporter, Tal, visits and hands him a copy of Fever Pitch, Nick Hornby’s memoir of Arsenal fandom. He immediately connectsContinue reading “Ooh to be a Gooner: Mahlon”
What becomes a legend most?
Legend. A term perhaps bandied about too much. When it comes to Arsenal, certain players instantly to mind. For me, it’s these two and I’m not alone. Gooners picked them to occupy the number 1 and 2 spots on the “Gunners Greatest 50 Players” list. And while we’ve had some truly great players since, fewContinue reading “What becomes a legend most?”
See you in October
Thank you for your understanding. See you for the North London Derby! Cheers, Mark
No match this weekend
We were just talking about fixture congestion and it’s likely to get worse in the future. The FA has opted to cancel this weekend’s fixtures, out of respect for the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died this week. So obviously no Everton match-viewing this Sunday at Maggie’s and we’ll be back on Thursday for Arsenal’sContinue reading “No match this weekend”
Arsenal’s dance card fills up
Can’t really talk to much about Sunday’s result. A demoralizing loss made more annoying by a smattering of United supporters at our pub. 99% of whom, I’d never seen before. But I suppose our rocket ship had to plummet earthward at some point, and we can now dispense with all the “new Invincibles” chatter. WithContinue reading “Arsenal’s dance card fills up”
An old familiar foe
Heady times for Gooners as Arsenal travel to Old Trafford this Sunday with a 5-0 record to face Man United. The current rivalry may lack Wenger-Ferguson era intensity, but it presents the Gunners with their sternest test so far this season. After a 4-0 thrashing at Brentford, their second defeat to open the season, UnitedContinue reading “An old familiar foe”
