Saturday Arsenal’s match marks the 18th year of the Bay Area Area Gooners’ existence. A handful of die hard Gooners at Maggie McGarry’s has grown into a robust supporters group, turning up in boisterous numbers to watch the Gunners play, at all hours of the day. Arsenal’s 2024-2025 season kicks off against Wolves at home,Continue reading “About to kick off”

Arsenal preseason tonight!
Quick note to remind everyone, Arsenal’s preseason tour of America begins tonight in Los Angeles! If you’re not making the trip down south, you can join us at Maggie McGarry’s for the match. Kickoff is 7:30pm and as always, Maggie’s is 21+. Hope to see some familiar faces tonight! Best, Mark
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
Last season seems almost a distant memory now. The talk is all of the Euros, Copa América, and Arsenal’s visit to the United States. Maggie McGarry’s will be showing the tournament (more info below). 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”
Be a f**king legend
We celebrated another St. Totteringham’s Day last week. Things got a little squeaky towards the end, but Arsenal got the win and we had a great group at Maggie McGarry’s for the match. Being an Arsenal supporter in the States presents its own challenges. American Gooners are often maligned as less genuine because they weren’tContinue reading “Be a f**king legend”
One team in London
Perfect way to spend a weekday, watching Arsenal batter a hapless Chelsea. But we must abbreviate our celebration as the North London Derby looms large on Sunday. The Gunners take a short trip across town to face a well-rested Tottenham side. The Spuds could play spoiler in the title race, as they face all 3Continue reading “One team in London”
Righting the ship Arsenal
Arsenal seemed to be on the ropes prior this weekend’s match. Losses to Villa and Bayern within the last week ended the Gunners’ Champions League run and dented their Premiership title hopes. But they left Wolverhampton on Saturday with a much-needed win. While only one match, it’s the first step in righting the ship Arsenal.Continue reading “Righting the ship Arsenal”
The show must go on
Well, that week sucked. A loss at Villa severely dents Arsenal’s title hopes and then the Gunners are unceremoniously knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich. Reaction ran the gamut, with a few short-sighted calls for the manager’s head, while most Gooners tried to keep perspective in the face of these dire defeats.Continue reading “The show must go on”
Jetzt geht’s um die Wurst
Jetzt geht’s um die Wurst translates to Now it goes around the sausage, a German expression which has come to mean there are higher stakes now, or all or nothing. All or Nothing is coincidentally, the name of the Arsenal TV series on Prime. Sunday’s match against Villa was to put it mildly, a debacle.Continue reading “Jetzt geht’s um die Wurst”
