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 4th Round of the FA Cup. The Latics occupy the third tier of English football, EFL League One but upsets are a constant in this competition, so Arsenal cannot take them lightly.
The Athletic Club Oakland closed this week, leaving the East Bay Gooners without a home. Their leadership is meeting to try and sort out a new location, but obviously anyone 21+ is welcome at Maggie’s.
Hoping to be at the pub tomorrow but will miss Sunday’s match.

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 Man City in the Final this March.
Having beaten Newcastle in the other semifinal, Man City must be unnerved by the prospect, because Pep Guardiola is whinging nonstop. First, about recent transfer, Marc Guéhi’s ineligibility for the final. Then about their traveling to London for the match. Apparently, the lack of punishment for 115 pending charges, has only boosted City’s sense of entitlement.
All of that is just background noise right now. The last time out at Sunderland, the Black Cats managed a last minute, smash and grab draw. To maintain their Premiership lead, Arsenal must have revenge.
Not sure where everyone was last weekend as turnout was a bit light. Hope to see more of you this Saturday! This is the big game of the weekend.

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 lead to 4 points in the Premier League.
Next up is Leeds away. A near perfect opportunity to get back to the business of winning the league. I don’t know about you, but I need a demonstrative show of force from the lads, resulting in a big fat W.
Then on Sunday, the Arsenal Women play in the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup. There’s not official BAG match gathering, but Maggie’s will be open and will put the match on, if there’s interest.
Hope to see a good turnout tomorrow!
