As I obsess about Sunday’s match against Man City, the lyrics to the song, Don’t Bang the Drum by The Waterboys, popped into my head: Well here we are in a special placeWhat are you gonna do here?Now we stand in a special placeWhat will you do here?What show of soul are we gonna getContinue reading “Don’t bang the drum”

The long and short of it
Arsenal sit top of the table as we endure another intolerable break in play due to FA Cup matches and needless international play giving Gooners plenty of time to cogitate about the road ahead. The Gunners have just 10 league matches to play in the two or so months left of Premier League competition. ThenContinue reading “The long and short of it”
The revenge of Arsenal?
Arsenal sit top of the table by virtue of goal differential which is a great way to start the week. But there’s a small matter of payback to be meted out to FC Porto in the Champions League tomorrow. The first leg was a lackluster, foul rampant affair with the home side throwing themselves earthwardContinue reading “The revenge of Arsenal?”
Can haz title hopes?
Two very big matches for us this weekend, though only one involves the club we love. Arsenal must beat Brentford to continue an upward trajectory but we need Liverpool-Man City to end a draw, for the Gunners to leapfrog them into the top spot. Last season around this time, Arsenal were top of the tableContinue reading “Can haz title hopes?”
The Gunners march on
Arsenal dispatched Newcastle 4-1 in sublime fashion, putting to rest the ire, Gooners (like yours truly) were holding on to, since their last meeting. The Gunners 6th Premier League win in a row means they’ve not lost a domestic match in 2024 so far. Arsenal keep pressure on City and Liverpool as the title raceContinue reading “The Gunners march on”

No coal, just goals
Ah the joys of European football. One team continually throwing themselves earthward while the referee handed out fouls like Halloween candy. But in the face of this, Arsenal were lackluster and failed to be clinical. Then in the dying moments of the match, the Gunners gave the ball away cheaply (repeatedly) and were stung byContinue reading “No coal, just goals”
Any Porto in a storm
After summarily dispatching West Ham 6-0, the Gunners trounced Burnley 5-0, giving them a full head of steam, heading into today’s knockout stage of the Champions League. Now, I don’t know too much about their opponent’s current form, but feeling pretty good about our chances. Just don’t want our lads to be gassed for NewcastleContinue reading “Any Porto in a storm”
Train kept a-rollin’
Bay Area Gooners had every right to feel conflicted this past weekend. Our local team fell short in their biggest game of the season, while Arsenal rolled over West Ham 6-nil. The match strayed into Harlem Globetrotters-Washington Generals territory and it seemed like any Arsenal player who touched the ball might get a goal. WatchingContinue reading “Train kept a-rollin’”
Big game tomorrow
To be honest, at this point in the season, they’re all big games. But with only 2 points separating Arsenal from top of the table Liverpool and Man City firing on all cylinders, the Gunners can ill afford to drop any points. But let’s take one last moment to revel in last weekend’s glorious win.Continue reading “Big game tomorrow”
