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”

Thankful for Arsenal
What a week to be an Arsenal supporter. The Gunners demolish Sp-rs on the back of an Eze hat trick and three days later, dispatched Bayern Munich in the Champions League league phase. 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. Just once this season, I’dContinue reading “Whatever the weather”
November to remember?
Arsenal went into their Champions League match against Slavia Praha with the news that Viktor Gyökeres was injured and likely would not be available until after the international break. He joins an injury list which includes Ødegaard, Martinelli, Havertz, Madueke, and Jesus. But despite the home side getting off to a strong start, the GunnersContinue reading “November to remember?”

Sunday at Newcastle
Gooners could be forgiven for running through all the feelings this week, where Arsenal are concerned. Elation over Martinelli’s late equalizer against City, frustration over not getting the win, sadness over Noni Madueke’s injury, and joy again over Eze’s first goal and a midweek League Cup win. This Sunday, it’s Newcastle away, and in recentContinue reading “Sunday at Newcastle”
Maggie McGarry’s Derby
Arsenal opened their Champions League campaign Tuesday with a 2-0 win against Athletic Club. A much maligned Gabriel Martinelli scored within a minute of coming on as a second half substitute. He did so with an assist from another forgotten man, Leandro Trossard. In the dying moments of the match, Gabi would return the favorContinue reading “Maggie McGarry’s Derby”
Ooh to be a Gooner: Jose
The latest in a series of posts, profiling members of our Bay Area Gooners family. For most Arsenal matches at Maggie McGarry’s, a group of regulars consistently holds court at a big table in the back near the stage. Amongst them is Jose Santos. Jose was born and raised in San Francisco’s Visitation Valley. HeContinue reading “Ooh to be a Gooner: Jose”
Ecstasy and agony
Since Arsenal’s thrashing of Man City, it’s been tough sledding for Gooners. Just days later, the Gunners were soundly beaten by Newcastle, exiting the League Cup, with an aggregate score of 4-0 over two legs. Even worse, Gabriel Martinelli picked up an injury that will keep him out for at least a month. Mikel ArtetaContinue reading “Ecstasy and agony”
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”
