Arsenal’s Champions League knockout phase begins with 2 matches against Bayer Leverkusen tomorrow and next Tuesday. The German club was founded way back when, by the workers of Bayer company, which explains why their crest resembles an aspirin. Leverkusen finished 16th in the tournament league phase, but that run included beating Man City 2-0, soContinue reading “Take two and call me…”

Be a legend. Twice.
Some nervy results recently, at Chelsea and Brighton away. At this point in the season, all remaining matches will be a test of Arsenal supporters’ nerves. But the Gunners came away with the points and sit 7 points clear at the top of the table. This Saturday, we’ll be at Maggie’s to watch Arsenal’s FAContinue reading “Be a legend. Twice.”

Double duty Arsenal
Two occasions to watch Arsenal this week at Maggie McGarry’s. Tomorrow, the Gunners face Brentford in the Premier League. With only 13 matches left in the regular season, every one is a must win to secure the title. Arsenal beat the Bee’s 2-0 in their previous meeting. Sunday, Arsenal welcome Wigan Athletic in the 4thContinue reading “Double duty Arsenal”
The devils in the details
The Red Devils visit the Emirates on Sunday for Arsenal’s next big challenge. While not the fierce rivalry of the past, the Gunners must contend with a United side, brimming with confidence under interim coach, Michael Carrick. Arsenal have beaten United, 5 of 6 most recent meetings, but United have a bounce in their step,Continue reading “The devils in the details”
The forest for the trees
Arsenal supporters seem a little blasé this season about the FA and League Cups. Recent turnout at Maggie’s for the League Cup Semi-Final first leg and FA Cup 3rd round were pretty meager. We all in on Arsenal winning the Premier League or the Champions League this season. Or both. Though we shouldn’t turn ourContinue reading “The forest for the trees”
What the FA, Arsenal!
Yesterday’s revenge match against Liverpool ended 0-0. Arsenal dominated the first half without ever putting the ball in the net. Liverpool found their footing in the second half but neither side emerged victorious. For many Gooners (myself included), it was an unsatisfying missed opportunity. This Sunday, Arsenal continue pursuit of different silverware in the 3rdContinue reading “What the FA, Arsenal!”
The next big one
Arsenal started 2026 with a win at Bournemouth. Big Gabi notched an equalizing header, redeeming himself after his error led to their first score. Possible player of the season, Declan Rice got a brace in the second half to make it 1-3. Bournemouth would get a second but ultimately Arsenal saw the game out. Tomorrow,Continue reading “The next big one”
What do we think of Arsenal?
Arsenal washing out of the FA Cup Sunday was excruciating. A truly anemic affair which saw Gabriel Jesus stretchered off and a withering lack of finishing by our front line. Despite our lofty position in the table, it’s hard to imagine we will catch Liverpool and somehow win the league. There’s also a steep hillContinue reading “What do we think of Arsenal?”
FA Cup 3rd Round Sunday
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”
