The return of Arsenal
Gooners, We’re just a few weeks away from our first match-viewing of the season at Maggie McGarry’s. Arsenal face Man City in the Community Shield on Sunday, August 16, 2026 at 7:00 am. There’s a few preseason friendlies between now and then, and while Maggie’s may show some of those, August 16th is our firstContinue reading “The return of Arsenal”
Your future is Arsenal
Gooners, The World Cup hasn’t given us much time to revel in our triumphant Premier League season. Most of Arsenal’s title winning side were pressed into international service almost immediately. But the Gunners are still champions and we’ll celebrate all summer long. The Premier League released the 2026-2027 fixtures last week, so you can planContinue reading “Your future is Arsenal”
Glorious if not victorious
Gooners coming up for air after Arsenal won the Premiership, lost the Champions League Final, and had a North London victory parade that drew an estimated 1,000,000+ supporters. The turnout in North Beach for the PSG match was unreal. Maggie’s was packed to the rafters, and so many Gooners showed up, it literally shut downContinue reading “Glorious if not victorious”
A second chance
What a glorious day it was! Maggie’s was packed inside and out. Some of us waited a long time to see Arsenal crowned Champions! All in all, a wonderful, raucous beer soaked celebration. NBC gave the Gunners the short shrift on the trophy lift, preferring to focus on Spurs “miraculous” (đ¤˘) escape. We were scramblingContinue reading “A second chance”
Campeones!
What a difference a day makes! Following another arduous, nerve-wracking result over Burnley, Arsenal awaited the result of Bournemouth v Man City to determine if the battle for the title would extend to this weekend. When Tuesday’s match’s ended in a draw, Arsenal were declared Premier League Champions. And the Goonerverse exploded! The Bay AreaContinue reading “Campeones!”
Arsenal vs the world
Heady times for Gooners. VAR finally made a correct call in our favor against West Ham on Sunday, preserving our lead on Man City. As Jonathan Wilson of the Guardian correctly opines, David Raya was being fouled by not one, but two different Hammers, and Callum Wilson’s late equalizer was rightly chalked off. The levelContinue reading “Arsenal vs the world”
Hungary for more
Another great week to be a Gooner. First, Arsenal dispatch Fulham somewhat effortlessly, 3-0 over the weekend. On Monday, Citeh dropped points against Everton, putting Arsenal back in the driver’s seat. Then Tuesday, the Gunners shut down AtlĂŠtico Madrid, winning 1-0 on the strength of a Bukayo Saka goal, landing themselves in the Champions LeagueContinue reading “Hungary for more”
Eze on down the road
Hard fought Champions League draw on Wednesday, in which we were denied a clear penalty. Now our focus shifts back to the first of the final four Premier League matches in Arsenal’s quest to become champions. If the Gunners are able to get this done, it will be in no small part due to EberechiContinue reading “Eze on down the road”
Where it’s at
Our loss to Man City last weekend, followed by their win over Burnley, puts them top of the table, by virtue of goals scored. Now Arsenal must win all 5 of their remaining matches, while adding to the goals total, or hope that City drop points in theirs. Looking like this will go down toContinue reading “Where it’s at”
