Bay Area Gooners had every right to feel conflicted this past weekend. Our local team fell short in their biggest game of the season, while Arsenal rolled over West Ham 6-nil. The match strayed into Harlem Globetrotters-Washington Generals territory and it seemed like any Arsenal player who touched the ball might get a goal. WatchingContinue reading “Train kept a-rollin’”

Big game tomorrow
To be honest, at this point in the season, they’re all big games. But with only 2 points separating Arsenal from top of the table Liverpool and Man City firing on all cylinders, the Gunners can ill afford to drop any points. But let’s take one last moment to revel in last weekend’s glorious win.Continue reading “Big game tomorrow”
3rd times the charm?
Arsenal host Liverpool this Sunday for the third time in the past six weeks. The first time was a hard fought draw at Anfield, while more recently the Reds bounce the Gunners out of the FA Cup. Liverpool sit atop the table and have not lost a Premier League match since last September. Arsenal reboundedContinue reading “3rd times the charm?”
Til Tuesday
Quick note to let you know that Arsenal have a match tomorrow and that Maggie McGarry’s will have it on. The Gunners travel to Nottingham, kickoff is 11:30am PT, and Maggie’s is 21+. The match will be on inside and out. I won’t make it tomorrow, but look forward to seeing you for the nextContinue reading “Til Tuesday”
Early in the morning
We’re back at it tomorrow, early in the morning. Almost two weeks since Arsenal’s last match and the boys have apparently been resting and practicing in Dubai. Hopefully the Gunners can re-find their form and get back in the title hunt. Our first pre-dawn kickoff of 2024 and of course, Maggie’s will be open forContinue reading “Early in the morning”
I read the news today, oh boy
Gooners everywhere are trying to figure out what to do with themselves during an Arsenal-free weekend. Our next opportunity to gather at Maggie’s is January 20th and it’s the first 4:30am kickoff of the year. Not for the faint of heart. The lull gives us nothing to do but anguish over recent results and dreamContinue reading “I read the news today, oh boy”
Liverpool redux
2023 ended with a whimper not a bang. Following the West Ham loss, the Gunners were embarrassed by Fulham, looking very ordinary and powerless. A lot of fan social media ire to kickoff 2024, pitchforks and torches raised high, raging about useless players and speculating about ones we absolutely must buy. And the return ofContinue reading “Liverpool redux”
In which we get hammered
Following a tough draw at Anfield, one could be forgiven for looking at our mid-week fixture and thinking Arsenal could get a result. And in those opening minutes, it seemed like we would do just that. We were stylish, crisp, tricky and yet ended the match with 30 shot attempts and nary a goal toContinue reading “In which we get hammered”
It’s up for grabs now
All very tight at the top of the Premier League table right now. Arsenal sitting one point ahead of Liverpool and only 5 points separating them from Man City in 4th. A win on Sunday would go a long way towards establishing our title hopes bona fides. Liverpool at Anfield is always going to beContinue reading “It’s up for grabs now”
That time of year again
Heading into the holiday season, still in the thick of the title race, with Gooners casting a longing glance towards the transfer window, wondering who, if anyone might arrive. Can’t shake the nagging feeling we’re one or two injuries away from seeing it all slip away. Elneny picked up a knock against PSV while MartinelliContinue reading “That time of year again”
