What a week we’ve had. A wild finish against Everton, topped off with an incredible goal by wunderkind, Max Dowman. Then a very tidy win over Bayer Leverkusen to earn Arsenal a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals against Sporting CP. But now all eyes on Sunday as the Gunners head to Wembley to faceContinue reading “One cup at a time”

Eye of the beholder
Arsenal squeaked away with a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round v Bayer Leverkusen. Kai Havertz (waka, waka) slotted home a penalty against his boyhood club to even things up. But it was tough sledding against a resolute defense and frankly, I’m happy with the draw. None of theContinue reading “Eye of the beholder”
Take two and call me…
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.

Great time out at Maggie’s last Sunday as Arsenal put Spurs to the sword. Particularly gratifying was a brace of goals from our much maligned striker, Viktor Gyökeres. Sure it was against a poor Tottenham side, but both were well taken stunning strikes. Please sir, can I have some more? Chelsea visit the Emirates Sunday,Continue reading “Another Sunday derby”
20 years leading to this

Arsenal dropped points in two successive draws and even the most stout-hearted Gooners are feeling the strain. The noise from outside, particularly oppositionContinue reading “20 years leading to this”
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 only game that matters
A lot of talk around the Bay Area about a “big game” happening this weekend. But for Arsenal fans, Saturday against Sunderland is the only one that matters. It’s been a good week so far. After thumping Leeds last weekend, Arsenal finished off Chelsea in the League Cup semifinal, earning the right to play ManContinue reading “The only game that matters”
