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”

Penultimate warriors

With only two matches left, there is already a tendency to gaze backwards and make some assessment of Arsenal’s season. FC *115 (the club formerly known as Man City) seems unlikely to drop points, so it appears the Gunners are headed to a 2nd place finish in the Premiership. Personally, I’m not looking back justContinue reading “Penultimate warriors”

Be a f**king legend

We celebrated another St. Totteringham’s Day last week. Things got a little squeaky towards the end, but Arsenal got the win and we had a great group at Maggie McGarry’s for the match. Being an Arsenal supporter in the States presents its own challenges. American Gooners are often maligned as less genuine because they weren’tContinue reading “Be a f**king legend”

One team in London

Perfect way to spend a weekday, watching Arsenal batter a hapless Chelsea. But we must abbreviate our celebration as the North London Derby looms large on Sunday. The Gunners take a short trip across town to face a well-rested Tottenham side. The Spuds could play spoiler in the title race, as they face all 3Continue reading “One team in London”

Righting the ship Arsenal

Arsenal seemed to be on the ropes prior this weekend’s match. Losses to Villa and Bayern within the last week ended the Gunners’ Champions League run and dented their Premiership title hopes. But they left Wolverhampton on Saturday with a much-needed win. While only one match, it’s the first step in righting the ship Arsenal.Continue reading “Righting the ship Arsenal”

The show must go on

Well, that week sucked. A loss at Villa severely dents Arsenal’s title hopes and then the Gunners are unceremoniously knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich. Reaction ran the gamut, with a few short-sighted calls for the manager’s head, while most Gooners tried to keep perspective in the face of these dire defeats.Continue reading “The show must go on”

Jetzt geht’s um die Wurst

Jetzt geht’s um die Wurst translates to Now it goes around the sausage, a German expression which has come to mean there are higher stakes now, or all or nothing. All or Nothing is coincidentally, the name of the Arsenal TV series on Prime. Sunday’s match against Villa was to put it mildly, a debacle.Continue reading “Jetzt geht’s um die Wurst”
