Having dispatched with Brentford in efficient if not nervy fashion during Wednesday’s League Cup action, the Gunners head south to face Bournemouth tomorrow. There seems to be an undercurrent of unease amongst a lot of Gooners. The team doesn’t seem to be firing on all cylinders and there continue to be ongoing injury concerns. OutsideContinue reading “A bowl of cherries”

In our cups again
Another great turnout for a North London Derby Sunday at Maggie’s. Unfortunately, our dedication was rewarded with a draw that felt like a loss. We watched an Arsenal that despite some flashes of brilliance, seemed to be suffering a lag from Wednesday’s Champions League action. But this is the time of the season when theContinue reading “In our cups again”
We are the Tottenham haters
Apologies for the late post, it’s been a busy week for yours truly. Arsenal won their opening Champions League group stage match against PSV Einhoven in stellar fashion. They played classy, stylish football and notched a 4-0 victory. But no time to bask in the afterglow, with the first North London Derby of the seasonContinue reading “We are the Tottenham haters”
Are these the champions?
Great to get the win on Sunday at Everton and banish previous poor results to memory. Not the prettiest, but all 3 points collected, and no one should complain about that. Adding injury to insult, Gabriel Martinelli went off with a knock, not long after having a brilliant goal ruled offside. Fingers crossed about that,Continue reading “Are these the champions?”
No time to monkey around
On paper, Everton FC is an unlikely bogey team for Arsenal. Especially given they’ve finished near the bottom of the table the past two years, narrowly escaping relegation last season. And yet, the Gunners have struggled against the Toffees, winning just two of their last 11 Premier League visits to Goodison Park (W2 D3 L6)Continue reading “No time to monkey around”
Warm impermanence
Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher (and rumored substitute left back), once said, Change is the only constant. I’m more of a Bowie guy myself, but as the transfer window closes, Gooners are left to contemplate a number of changes. Left back, Kieran Tierney is headed to Real Sociedad, on a season-long loan. Despite the “loan” tag,Continue reading “Warm impermanence”
Take a chants on matchday
Our Bay Area Gooners off-season poll revealed a strong desire for more people joining the songs and chants at Maggie’s. You may have hesitated because you don’t know the words, so here’s a few basics. I share these with the hope Maggie’s gets louder on match days. Note: Each chant/song mentioned includes a link toContinue reading “Take a chants on matchday”
A choice kit
If I didn’t know better, I’d suspect Arsenal launched their 3rd third kit today in an attempt to overshadow our own kit launch. Sure, theirs is nice, but ours is 🔥. The choice is yours. We’ve been able to create some great swag over the years, but this might be our most exciting yet. Today,Continue reading “A choice kit”
Take a little trip kit
From the London fog to that of San Francisco, the Bay Area Gooners support the Arsenal over land and sea. We meet for Arsenal matches at Maggie McGarry’s Irish Pub in the city’s historic North Beach neighborhood. Now we’re excited to announce the impending launch of our first ever Bay Area Gooners kit! Presenting the:Continue reading “Take a little trip kit”
Let’s begin again Saturday
Begin the begin. Arsenal’s 2023/2024 Premiership season starts Saturday, and this will be our 17th year, watching the Gunners at Maggie McGarry’s. These are exciting times for Arsenal fans. Last season’s 2nd place finish, big off-season signings, and a Community Shield victory over Man City last week, has us brimming with optimism. People always askContinue reading “Let’s begin again Saturday”
