Heading into the holiday season, still in the thick of the title race, with Gooners casting a longing glance towards the transfer window, wondering who, if anyone might arrive. Can’t shake the nagging feeling we’re one or two injuries away from seeing it all slip away. Elneny picked up a knock against PSV while MartinelliContinue reading “That time of year again”

Six ways to Saturday
Arsenal’s decisive win Wednesday over Sevilla in the Champions League group stage served as a bit of a palate cleanser, but The Travesty on Tyneside is still stuck firmly in one’s craw. To have VAR examine an opposition goal for 4 possible violations and still stand could only happen to Arsenal. Topped off with severalContinue reading “Six ways to Saturday”
A is for Arsenal, also anxiety
Nervy late moments in our mid-week Champions League match against Sevilla, but don’t let it diminish two stellar goals by Martinelli and Jesus. Martinelli’s was reminiscent of his legendary goal a few seasons back at Chelsea. Also laudable was our stout defense with a rock star performance by Tomiyasu. Next up, Sheffield United, who haveContinue reading “A is for Arsenal, also anxiety”
On the rebound
Loved the late fight back from the Gunners on Saturday, but feel a little fortunate to snatch a late draw from the mouth of defeat. The lads seemed a step behind for most of the match and made an ordinary Chelsea team look like contenders. No time to dwell as Arsenal head to Spain toContinue reading “On the rebound”
Rollercoaster of love
Just over two months into the season, we’ve hit the first real dip in the Arsenal supporter rollercoaster. Our trip to France ended up so much sour milk, with RC Lens taking advantage of our sloppy defense and Saka limping off. Again. And of course, it would occur just prior to our biggest match ofContinue reading “Rollercoaster of love”
The champignons league?
Fine effort by Arsenal to crush a hapless Bournemouth, 4-0. However, Saka and Jesus going off limping is worrisome, especially given Martinelli and Partney are still out. Saka was amongst the top 10 most fouled players in the Premier League last season and that irksome trend appears to be continuing. Quick jaunt to France forContinue reading “The champignons league?”
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”
Are these the champions?
Great to get the win on Sunday at Everton and banish previous poor results to memory. Not the prettiest, but all 3 points collected, and no one should complain about that. Adding injury to insult, Gabriel Martinelli went off with a knock, not long after having a brilliant goal ruled offside. Fingers crossed about that,Continue reading “Are these the champions?”
One more time
Definitely not the finish we’d hoped for. Arsenal’s title challenge simply ran out of gas, at the same time as Man City’s kicked into top gear. The end of the season was particularly hard for our group as we mourned the loss of our friend, Brent Yocom. Despite everything, it’s been an exciting season atContinue reading “One more time”
