Another Sunday derby

Great time out at Maggie’s last Sunday as Arsenal put Spurs to the sword. Particularly gratifying was a brace of goals from our much maligned striker, Viktor Gyökeres. Sure it was against a poor Tottenham side, but both were well taken stunning strikes. Please sir, can I have some more? Chelsea visit the Emirates Sunday,Continue reading “Another Sunday derby”

20 years leading to this

The Bay Area Gooners was founded in 2006, moving to Maggie McGarry’s later that year. Has a North London Derby in the past 20 years ever meant as much as this weekend’s? Arsenal dropped points in two successive draws and even the most stout-hearted Gooners are feeling the strain. The noise from outside, particularly oppositionContinue reading “20 years leading to this”

But it’s no flukeContinue reading “An end to Villainy”

Arsenal, take 2

We don’t even get a week to enjoy the gritty win against United. Far from pretty, the Gunners got a 1-nil victory at Old Trafford.
