Old familiar places
Wow. Arsenal made skipping work Tuesday totally worthwhile and put 7 past PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of their Champions League match up. You can relive the highlights here. Now if they can bring some of that energy (and goal scoring) to Old Trafford Sunday. We’ve not had a great league record there andContinue reading “Old familiar places”
Arsenal’s March towards?
March is here and looking unlikely that Arsenal will hoist the Premier League trophy this season. Particularly following the loss to West Ham and subsequent toothless draw at Nottingham Forest. Our injuries and lack of an out and out striker seemingly doomed us to be also-rans again. But we’re still in the thick of theContinue reading “Arsenal’s March towards?”
Strange but true
Did anyone have midfielder Mikel Merino coming off the bench to score not one but two winners, on their bingo card? The elation for Gooners at Maggie’s for the 4:30 am match, was equal parts relief and surprise. What a strange season for Arsenal. Some might say a trainwreck, given our preponderance of injuries. ButContinue reading “Strange but true”
Ecstasy and agony
Since Arsenal’s thrashing of Man City, it’s been tough sledding for Gooners. Just days later, the Gunners were soundly beaten by Newcastle, exiting the League Cup, with an aggregate score of 4-0 over two legs.

It’s the time of the season
How you feeling Gooners? Arsenal overcame an absurd red card for wunderkind Myles Lewis Skelly and beat Wolves, 0-1 last weekend.

Highlights from the midweekContinue reading “It’s the time of the season”

Back to winning ways?
Arsenal delivered a 2-1 win in the North London Derby Wednesday and’ a much needed boost to Gooners’ spirits. There were definitely some nerves about the pub early on. Arsenal were rampant for the first 20 minutes, with nary a goal to show for it. While Spurs managed to take a 1-0 lead, despite notContinue reading “Back to winning ways?”
What do we think of Arsenal?
Arsenal washing out of the FA Cup Sunday was excruciating. A truly anemic affair which saw Gabriel Jesus stretchered off and a withering lack of finishing by our front line. Despite our lofty position in the table, it’s hard to imagine we will catch Liverpool and somehow win the league. There’s also a steep hillContinue reading “What do we think of Arsenal?”
