Atalanta, then City

Grand time at Maggie’s Sunday. Another North London Derby in the books as the Gunners ground out a gritty 1-nil result. Without Ødegaard or Rice in the midfield, this was largely on the backs of our defense. Timber, Gabriel, and Saliba and (the dark arts of) Ben White applying the clampdown on Spurs, with Gabriel’sContinue reading “Atalanta, then City”

Gird up your loins, Gooners

If you didn’t hate these international breaks already, you really should now. I know our manager is putting on a brave face, but following an injury playing for Norway, Martin Ødegaard is likely to be out for the next 3-4 matches. This leaves us severely wanting in our midfield, with Rice’s suspension and new boyContinue reading “Gird up your loins, Gooners”

Enter the villains

Great start to the season at Maggie McGarry’s last Saturday. The dedicated Gooners who turned up were rewarded with a solid 2-0 win for the Gunners. A number of new faces amongst the more familiar ones, keeping our cult growing. Now Arsenal travel to face a club becoming quite the thorn in their side. SinceContinue reading “Enter the villains”

But wait, there’s more!

Hope you’re enjoying your summer. There’s plenty of footy to occupy you in the off-season with Euro 2024, Copa America (despite the US bombing out), Bay FC and SF City FC. We previously discussed Arsenal’s impending visit across the pond, with the men’s team making July stops in Philly and Los Angeles, and the womenContinue reading “But wait, there’s more!”

You know where to find us

Arsenal’s fixture list for the 2024/2025 season was released yesterday, and Gooners everywhere began making plans. Our directive is unchanged: watch all matches at Maggie McGarry’s in San Francisco. We turned up in big numbers last season, despite the Gunners finishing second. The pub atmosphere was grand and genuinely felt like a return to aContinue reading “You know where to find us”

Arsenal in America

And we will be at Maggie’s for the preseason Arsenal men’s matches. Both Arsenal teams are coming across the pond. TheContinue reading “Arsenal in America”
