Back to winning ways?

While we’re counting the things we are thankful for, it’s lovely to see Arsenal (hopefully) finding form again.

The Gunners handily dispatched Nottingham Forest in league play and then put on a veritable masterclass, trouncing a really good Sporting CP side, 1-5, in the Champions League.

We still need Liverpool to stumble to have any chance at the title but at least Arsenal’s back to their winning ways.

Hopefully you’ve all recovered from whatever excesses you indulged this holiday week and will join us at Maggie’s on Saturday for the match against West Ham.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! COYG!

Best,

Now or never, Arsenal

With international play over for the year, we’re back to Maggie McGarry’s on Saturday. Arsenal host Nottingham Forest in another must-win match for the Gunners, if we are to entertain any title hopes.

Leandro Trossard limped off in during Belgium’s ignominious defeat to Israel, though it is believed he will be available. Ben White is out until at least January, but Saka, Rice, Tomiyasu, and possibly Calafiori are expected back following various knocks.

Arsenal sit in fourth and Liverpool are 9 points clear at the top of the table. No team has ever come back to win the title from this position at this point in the season. But if we Gooners have any shred of hope, we need Arsenal to win some matches, starting Saturday. Then we can all ask Santa for a Liverpool blip that sees them drop some points.

The matches come fast and furious this time of year, with an Arsenal match every 3 days for the next two months. Plenty of time for you to join us at Maggie’s for a match.

The rain is expected to let up Saturday, so hope to see you there! COYG!

Revenge match Saturday

Arsenal head to Newcastle tomorrow, the scene of one of their bitterest defeats last season. Here’s hoping the Gunners can exact some revenge.

This is the first match of a busy November. 6 different chances for you to join us at Maggie McGarry’s!

Saliba will be back tomorrow, while Calafiori is still out, with Gabriel, Timber, and even Ben White having slight knocks making their inclusion still unclear.

The big Arsenal moment of joy this week stemmed from the continued development of Ethan Nwaneri, who scored a cracker of a goal in League Cup action Wednesday, his third in that competition. Excited to see what comes next for this brilliant teenager as the Gunners move on to the quarter-finals.

I know it’s an early one, but hope to see you tomorrow! COYG!

Best,

Mark

PS: On a personal note, thank you to all the Gooners who turned up for Loryn’s show last Friday. Meant a lot to have you in attendance.
