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. The Gunners’ dominant performance included goals from both our Hale End teenagers and if you’re like me, you’ve watched the highlights more than a few times. But if you haven’t, you owe it to yourself, to revel in that feelingContinue reading “Glorious!”
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”

Atalanta, then City
Grand time at Maggie’s Sunday. Another North London Derby in the books as the Gunners ground out a gritty 1-nil result. Without Ødegaard or Rice in the midfield, this was largely on the backs of our defense. Timber, Gabriel, and Saliba and (the dark arts of) Ben White applying the clampdown on Spurs, with Gabriel’sContinue reading “Atalanta, then City”
We had joy, we had fun
The Premier League season ended with a raucous, fun morning at Maggie McGarry’s. While we packed the pub to watch Arsenal beat Everton, a paltry group of City fans celebrated another league title. Complacency must have set in with that lot, as their numbers have surely waned this season. Matches against the Gunners seem toContinue reading “We had joy, we had fun”
This is the end
Spurs capitulated on Tuesday, as most (if not all) of us knew they would. Now, 115 FC are 2 points ahead and face West Ham away on the final day of the season. To win the league, Arsenal must not only beat Everton Sunday, but hope the Hammers can win or draw. In short, allContinue reading “This is the end”
