Some nervy results recently, at Chelsea and Brighton away. At this point in the season, all remaining matches will be a test of Arsenal supporters’ nerves. But the Gunners came away with the points and sit 7 points clear at the top of the table. This Saturday, we’ll be at Maggie’s to watch Arsenal’s FAContinue reading “Be a legend. Twice.”

Another Sunday derby
Great time out at Maggie’s last Sunday as Arsenal put Spurs to the sword. Particularly gratifying was a brace of goals from our much maligned striker, Viktor Gyökeres. Sure it was against a poor Tottenham side, but both were well taken stunning strikes. Please sir, can I have some more? Chelsea visit the Emirates Sunday,Continue reading “Another Sunday derby”
20 years leading to this
The Bay Area Gooners was founded in 2006, moving to Maggie McGarry’s later that year. Has a North London Derby in the past 20 years ever meant as much as this weekend’s? Arsenal dropped points in two successive draws and even the most stout-hearted Gooners are feeling the strain. The noise from outside, particularly oppositionContinue reading “20 years leading to this”
Double duty Arsenal
Two occasions to watch Arsenal this week at Maggie McGarry’s. Tomorrow, the Gunners face Brentford in the Premier League. With only 13 matches left in the regular season, every one is a must win to secure the title. Arsenal beat the Bee’s 2-0 in their previous meeting. Sunday, Arsenal welcome Wigan Athletic in the 4thContinue reading “Double duty Arsenal”
The only game that matters
A lot of talk around the Bay Area about a “big game” happening this weekend. But for Arsenal fans, Saturday against Sunderland is the only one that matters. It’s been a good week so far. After thumping Leeds last weekend, Arsenal finished off Chelsea in the League Cup semifinal, earning the right to play ManContinue reading “The only game that matters”

All roads, Leeds
Arsenal finished the league phase of the Champions League on Wednesday, with 8 out of 8 wins. They now avoid the play-off round and advance to the knock-out round. The mid-week victory offered some salve for the wound of last weekend’s loss. Possibly the most demoralizing moment of the season, it reduced the Gunners leadContinue reading “All roads, Leeds”
The devils in the details
The Red Devils visit the Emirates on Sunday for Arsenal’s next big challenge. While not the fierce rivalry of the past, the Gunners must contend with a United side, brimming with confidence under interim coach, Michael Carrick. Arsenal have beaten United, 5 of 6 most recent meetings, but United have a bounce in their step,Continue reading “The devils in the details”
The forest for the trees
Arsenal supporters seem a little blasé this season about the FA and League Cups. Recent turnout at Maggie’s for the League Cup Semi-Final first leg and FA Cup 3rd round were pretty meager. We all in on Arsenal winning the Premier League or the Champions League this season. Or both. Though we shouldn’t turn ourContinue reading “The forest for the trees”
Familiarity breeds…
The media stinkfest over Martinelli’s ill-advised push of an injured Conor Bradley, didn’t phase the lad Sunday at Portsmouth. After giving up a cheap goal in the early minutes, Arsenal roared back to win 1-4 on the strength of a Martinelli hat-trick. Tomorrow the Gunners face Chelsea in the League Cup Semi-Final. This is theContinue reading “Familiarity breeds…”
