Didn’t make it to the pub Tuesday for our League Cup tie against Newcastle, but by all accounts, a frustrating affair. One of the few Arsenal reports, I subscribe to, Layth’s Take, suggested we dominated play but were ultimately undone by our lack of firepower. Would I love for us to buy an out andContinue reading “FA Cup 3rd Round Sunday”

A trip to Brighton tomorrow
Quick post before tomorrow’s away match. Arsenal notched a 3-1 win over Brentford in the first of 9 January fixtures. We gave up an early silly goal but Jesus, Merino, and Martinelli eventually put things right. Our youngsters, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly (on as a late sub) equated themselves admirably, with the former endingContinue reading “A trip to Brighton tomorrow”
New Year’s Arsenal
Arsenal gutted out a 1-0 win over Ipswich to end the year. The final half of the season kicks off with 9 matches in January, beginning with a trip to mid-table Brentford tomorrow. Gooners should note the upcoming North London Derby is a mid-week match, so plan your work schedule accordingly. The Gunners have toContinue reading “New Year’s Arsenal”
Jesus reborn!
Arsenal faced Crystal Palace Wednesday for the first of two matches against the South London side this week. After a slightly uneven start to the match, the Gunners booked their place in the League Cup semi-finals on the back of Gabriel Jesus hat trick. The forward’s return to form couldn’t come at a better timeContinue reading “Jesus reborn!”
Arsenal v Everton tomorrow!
Apologies on the short notice, as I was traveling for work. But Arsenal have a match tomorrow against Everton and we’ll be at Maggie McGarry’s for the match. Our frustrating draw last week against Fulham was quickly surplanted by a mid-week 3-0 dismantling of Monaco in the Champions League. The match included another “the futureContinue reading “Arsenal v Everton tomorrow!”
Arsenal v Monaco tomorrow
Quick note that Arsenal continue their Champions League journey tomorrow against AS Monaco FC. Maggie’s will, of course, have the match on for you. As it currently stands, the Gunners are in 7th place of the “league” phase and on track to get a bye into the round of 16. I’m still not sure howContinue reading “Arsenal v Monaco tomorrow”
Arsenal inch closer
Lovely time at Maggie’s on Wednesday. Decent crowd for the mid-week win against United. Travelers from New Orleans and Norway celebrated with regulars. A couple of Gooners avoided having their picture taken, because they were supposed to be at work. But some things are more important. Arsenal did the business, scoring two off set-pieces, whichContinue reading “Arsenal inch closer”
That Arsenal time of year
December is upon us and Gooners can watch a match pretty much every 3 days, starting tomorrow. Coming off a decisive win at West Ham, Arsenal host Manchester United to the Emirates Wednesday to kick off the busiest time of the season. Since moving into first place, Liverpool has yet to drop any points butContinue reading “That Arsenal time of year”
Back to winning ways?
While we’re counting the things we are thankful for, it’s lovely to see Arsenal (hopefully) finding form again. The Gunners handily dispatched Nottingham Forest in league play and then put on a veritable masterclass, trouncing a really good Sporting CP side, 1-5, in the Champions League. We still need Liverpool to stumble to have anyContinue reading “Back to winning ways?”
Now or never, Arsenal
With international play over for the year, we’re back to Maggie McGarry’s on Saturday. Arsenal host Nottingham Forest in another must-win match for the Gunners, if we are to entertain any title hopes. Leandro Trossard limped off in during Belgium’s ignominious defeat to Israel, though it is believed he will be available. Ben White isContinue reading “Now or never, Arsenal”
