One cup at a time

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”

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”

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. Since Unai Emery’s dismissal at Arsenal and subsequent rebirth in Birmingham, the Spaniard has been a constant thorn in fellow countrymen, Mikel Arteta’s side. But it’s no flukeContinue reading “An end to Villainy”

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”

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”
