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” (🤢) escape. We were scramblingContinue reading “A second chance”

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”

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”
