The next big one

Arsenal started 2026 with a win at Bournemouth. Big Gabi notched an equalizing header, redeeming himself after his error led to their first score. Possible player of the season, Declan Rice got a brace in the second half to make it 1-3. Bournemouth would get a second but ultimately Arsenal saw the game out. Tomorrow,Continue reading “The next big one”

New year, new Arsenal

The Gunners exacted their revenge against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa for Arsenal’s last match of the year. Shifting gears in the second half, they put 4 past pantomime villain, Emi Martinez, before conceding a sloppy goal in stoppage time. Lovely to watch the lads dominating a really good Villa side in a decisive 4-1 win.Continue reading “New year, new Arsenal”

An end to Villainy

Arsenal’s current bogey team, Aston Villa, return to the Emirates tomorrow. The Gunners suffered one of only two losses this season away at Villa earlier this month. Since Unai Emery’s dismissal at Arsenal and subsequent rebirth in Birmingham, the Spaniard has been a constant thorn in fellow countrymen, Mikel Arteta’s side. But it’s no flukeContinue reading “An end to Villainy”

The gift of Arsenal

Arsenal continue their arduous journey through crowded December fixtures. Following the nail biter against Wolves, the Gunners ground out a 1-nil victory at Everton and then survived penalties against Crystal Palace to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup. We’re all dreaming of dominating matches, free flowing football and copious goals, but grinding out resultsContinue reading “The gift of Arsenal”

The Arsenal stress test

So that happened. Last Saturday’s match against Wolves was a forgone conclusion, according to so many people I spoke with, . Surely, Arsenal would dispatch the worst team in the Premier League with ease. But the Gunners struggled again against another low block side which slowed the match to a molasses level. Ultimately, Arsenal hadContinue reading “The Arsenal stress test”

Santa wears red and white

Arsenal’s frustrating last minute capitulation to Aston Villa did nothing for the moods of approximately 20 legendary Gooners at Maggie’s for a 4:30 am kickoff. The scrum occurring in the dying moments of the match which led to their winning goal, highlighted how much we miss Saliba and Big Gabi. Demolishing Club Brugge in theContinue reading “Santa wears red and white”

Slaves to the grind

Following brilliant wins over Spurs and Bayern Munich, Arsenal began the grind of 8 matches in December. The first was a grueling war of attrition against Chelsea, which despite them going down to 10 men, resulted in a 1-1 draw. Last night, the Gunners beat Brentford 2-0, and while not always pretty, it was theContinue reading “Slaves to the grind”

November to remember?

Arsenal went into their Champions League match against Slavia Praha with the news that Viktor ­Gyökeres was injured and likely would not be available until after the international break. He joins an injury list which includes Ødegaard, Martinelli, Havertz, Madueke, and Jesus. But despite the home side getting off to a strong start, the GunnersContinue reading “November to remember?”

One match at a time

There’s a lot of talk right now of titles, trophies, and how this must be Arsenal’s year, coming from the fans and media alike. And while it’s a great time to be a Gooner, some restraint is needed. Enthusiastic optimism is understandable, especially after a mid-week League Cup victory over Brighton, that featured 4 teenagers.Continue reading “One match at a time”
