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”
Something’s got to give
What a ride, this Arsenal team. Snatching victory at Kenilworth Road in the last 30 seconds of stoppage time against a surprisingly formidable Luton side. Declan Rice’s towering header was every bit as thrilling as Reiss Nelson’s late game winner last season at Bournemouth. And yet, there’s a different resolve, more steel to the GunnersContinue reading “Something’s got to give”
Arsenal through the lens
If you were unable to watch Arsenal’s mid-week Champions League match against RC Lens, you owe it yourself to at least see the highlights. It was a bit like watching a Harlem Globetrotters match or an Oprah special, You get a goal, and you get a goal, and you get a goal! Perhaps this isContinue reading “Arsenal through the lens”
Did you save room for Arsenal?
Hope everyone was able to enjoy time off this week with friends and family. Don’t worry if you over indulged, as long as you saved a little room for Arsenal. The Thanksgiving holiday and another dreaded interlull behind us, it’s now back to business for the Gunners. Annoyance at Trossard and Jesus playing a fullContinue reading “Did you save room for Arsenal?”
In our cups again
Another great turnout for a North London Derby Sunday at Maggie’s. Unfortunately, our dedication was rewarded with a draw that felt like a loss. We watched an Arsenal that despite some flashes of brilliance, seemed to be suffering a lag from Wednesday’s Champions League action. But this is the time of the season when theContinue reading “In our cups again”
We are the Tottenham haters
Apologies for the late post, it’s been a busy week for yours truly. Arsenal won their opening Champions League group stage match against PSV Einhoven in stellar fashion. They played classy, stylish football and notched a 4-0 victory. But no time to bask in the afterglow, with the first North London Derby of the seasonContinue reading “We are the Tottenham haters”
