This is the first match of a busy November. 6 different chances for you to join us at Maggie McGarry’s! Saliba will be back tomorrow, while Calafiori is still out, with Gabriel,Continue reading “Revenge match Saturday”

Is there hope?
Try as I might, it’s been hard to put the travesty of last weekend’s match behind me, but the tepid Tuesday Champions League win, did nothing to soothe my nerves. We added Calafiori to an injury list that includes Saka, Timber, Ødegaard, and Tomiyasu. We will, of course, be without Saliba following his red cardContinue reading “Is there hope?”
Everybody hurts
I’ve made no secret of my complete and utter contempt for international matches (particularly friendlies) played during the Premiership season. Which makes recent injuries to key Arsenal players even more enraging. Saka limped off the pitch during England v Greece with a hamstring issue and Martinelli picked up a calf injury while on duty forContinue reading “Everybody hurts”
Opposing goals
Arsenal dispatched PSG in Champions League action on Tuesday with some aplomb. I particularly enjoyed Barney Ronay’s take on it in the Guardian. Saturday brings us the return of Aaron Ramsdale and Southampton to the Emirates. Rambo was a likeable, capable fellow, but Arteta’s decision to replace him with Raya looks like genius now, asContinue reading “Opposing goals”
Red October
No time to dwell on Arsenal’s scrappy win against Leicester. Beginning with tomorrow’s Champions League match against Paris Saint Germain, you have 5 opportunities to watch Arsenal with us at Maggie McGarry’s (21+). We had a decent enough crowd Saturday, but I was a little surprised it wasn’t more crowded. We’re lucky to have aContinue reading “Red October”
Do you believe in magic?
Or at least the dark arts? Having City equalize in the dying moments of extra extra time felt a little deflating, but after reflecting on it, one must acknowledge the yeoman’s effort it took for a 10-man side to hold off the reigning champions for a full half. And the way their players and fansContinue reading “Do you believe in magic?”
Maggie’s Derby Sunday
I always hesitate calling these matches against Manchester City a “Maggie McGarry’s Derby” because it gives it gives equal standing to their shoddy little supporters group at the pub. But as anyone who’s been to Maggie’s knows, it’s an Arsenal pub, and City fans are largely tolerated because one of the owners is a long-timeContinue reading “Maggie’s Derby Sunday”
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”
