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”

Strange but true
Did anyone have midfielder Mikel Merino coming off the bench to score not one but two winners, on their bingo card? The elation for Gooners at Maggie’s for the 4:30 am match, was equal parts relief and surprise. What a strange season for Arsenal. Some might say a trainwreck, given our preponderance of injuries. ButContinue reading “Strange but true”
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”
Glorious!
What a weekend! Arsenal demolished City 5-1 and a packed Maggie McGarry’s was absolutely rocking.

It’s the time of the season
How you feeling Gooners? Arsenal overcame an absurd red card for wunderkind Myles Lewis Skelly and beat Wolves, 0-1 last weekend. Wednesday, they beat Girona, finalizing a place in the Champions League round of 16. Our other boy wonder, Ethan Nwaneri had a stunning goal to put us ahead for good. Highlights from the midweekContinue reading “It’s the time of the season”

Do you believe in magic?
Or at least the dark arts? Having City equalize in the dying moments of extra extra time felt a little deflating, but after reflecting on it, one must acknowledge the yeoman’s effort it took for a 10-man side to hold off the reigning champions for a full half. And the way their players and fansContinue reading “Do you believe in magic?”
Maggie’s Derby Sunday
I always hesitate calling these matches against Manchester City a “Maggie McGarry’s Derby” because it gives it gives equal standing to their shoddy little supporters group at the pub. But as anyone who’s been to Maggie’s knows, it’s an Arsenal pub, and City fans are largely tolerated because one of the owners is a long-timeContinue reading “Maggie’s Derby Sunday”
