On Monday, Citeh dropped points against Everton, putting Arsenal back in the driver’s seat. Then Tuesday, the Gunners shut down Atlético 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”
Don’t stop believing
Another long week for Arsenal supporters. The Gunners capitulated against Bournemouth on Saturday and then ground out a 0-0 draw against Sporting on Wednesday. While the former reduced their points lead in the Premiership, the latter secured their place in a Champions League semifinal. Neither did much to calm nerves or boost confidence going intoContinue reading “Don’t stop believing”
A time for legends
Tuesday’s last minute, smash and grab Champions League win at Sporting was just what the doctor ordered. The Arsenal universe seemed unsettled and some fans were slipping into panic mode. Doubts were justified given how our League Cup and FA Cup runs ended. Tuesday’s grind-it-out affair in Portugal didn’t offer a lot of highlights, butContinue reading “A time for legends”
Unsettling times
We heard a lot of talk about Arsenal and the quadruple and then the treble, but after Southampton nicked a FA Cup quarter-final win Saturday, a lot of nervous Gooners are fretting about even a single trophy. I never truly entertained winning multiple trophies. but genuinely felt the Gunners needed a win against Southampton, toContinue reading “Unsettling times”
11 guys and 1 cup
The final international break of the season is over and Arsenal can get back to the tasks at hand. Most Gooners have put the League Cup loss behind them and are raring to back the lads in three remaining competitions. The break was not without a manufactured controversy around Arsenal players withdrawing from international duty.Continue reading “11 guys and 1 cup”
One cup at a time
What a week we’ve had. A wild finish against Everton, topped off with an incredible goal by wunderkind, Max Dowman. Then a very tidy win over Bayer Leverkusen to earn Arsenal a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals against Sporting CP. But now all eyes on Sunday as the Gunners head to Wembley to faceContinue reading “One cup at a time”
Eye of the beholder
Arsenal squeaked away with a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round v Bayer Leverkusen. Kai Havertz (waka, waka) slotted home a penalty against his boyhood club to even things up. But it was tough sledding against a resolute defense and frankly, I’m happy with the draw. None of theContinue reading “Eye of the beholder”
Take two and call me…
Arsenal’s Champions League knockout phase begins with 2 matches against Bayer Leverkusen tomorrow and next Tuesday. The German club was founded way back when, by the workers of Bayer company, which explains why their crest resembles an aspirin. Leverkusen finished 16th in the tournament league phase, but that run included beating Man City 2-0, soContinue reading “Take two and call me…”
