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”
New year, new Arsenal
The Gunners exacted their revenge against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa for Arsenal’s last match of the year. Shifting gears in the second half, they put 4 past pantomime villain, Emi Martinez, before conceding a sloppy goal in stoppage time. Lovely to watch the lads dominating a really good Villa side in a decisive 4-1 win.Continue reading “New year, new Arsenal”
An end to Villainy
Arsenal’s current bogey team, Aston Villa, return to the Emirates tomorrow. The Gunners suffered one of only two losses this season away at Villa earlier this month.

But it’s no flukeContinue reading “An end to Villainy”

Surely, Arsenal would dispatch the worst team in the Premier League with ease. But the Gunners struggled again against another low block side which slowed the match to a molasses level. Ultimately, Arsenal hadContinue reading “The Arsenal stress test”
Santa wears red and white
Arsenal’s frustrating last minute capitulation to Aston Villa did nothing for the moods of approximately 20 legendary Gooners at Maggie’s for a 4:30 am kickoff. The scrum occurring in the dying moments of the match which led to their winning goal, highlighted how much we miss Saliba and Big Gabi. Demolishing Club Brugge in theContinue reading “Santa wears red and white”
Slaves to the grind
Following brilliant wins over Spurs and Bayern Munich, Arsenal began the grind of 8 matches in December. The first was a grueling war of attrition against Chelsea, which despite them going down to 10 men, resulted in a 1-1 draw. Last night, the Gunners beat Brentford 2-0, and while not always pretty, it was theContinue reading “Slaves to the grind”

The Bundesliga club have long been a thorn in Arsenal’s side over the years. After a somewhat even first half, Arsenal dominatedContinue reading “Thankful for Arsenal”
Whatever the weather
North London foreverWhatever the weatherThese streets are our own Another North London Derby this weekend, and another opportunity for Arsenal to assert dominance over their less fortunate London neighbors. Unfortunately, they have to do it without Gabriel Magalhães, who picked up an injury during a meaningless &%#$@! friendly last weekend.
