Gunnerrific

What a remarkable performance by “the kids” on Sunday. This final was by far one of the most wholly entertaining matches I’ve seen in a long time. I am still reeling a bit about everything this game included and I feel like I need to watch it again to see everything. However before that happens [...]

As mentioned here on ArsenalAmerica there is a gathering of sorts for Los Angeles gooners. I encourage you to stop by the Fox and Hound and check it out. For that matter there are several American viewing parties being organized, so I hope that you can find some like minded individuals for Sunday morning’s affair.

For the first time ever, a football club was invited to Buckingham Palace to have tea with the Queen. That club was Arsenal, and it came about after Her Majesty had to cancel plans to open the new Emirates stadium due to a strained back.

Unfortunately, what started out as a quiet and respectful meeting and [...]

Thus concludes two relatively poor performances in a row by The Gunners. While the game did have a few highlights we never really looked like we cared until PSV slid one just past Lehmann. It’s a familiar tale where urgency only comes out of the risk of a loss.

While searching for some good Arsenal gear at one of three Los Angeles “soccer shops”, Will and I stumbled upon this wonderful little gem (courtesy Will’s cameraphone).

This is the logo from an infant-sized Highbury commemorative kit. Apparently someone at Nike decided that since the little bastard who will be wearing it probably can’t read, it [...]

Well I think I need a stiff drink after that. We can’t make a habit of coming from behind to win… we need to just win outright. Here are the five things that struck me most during that match.
Firstly, thank you Tomas Rosicky. That header was brilliant and it saved the Arsenal from more potential [...]

Or maybe it’ll be Arsenal Colorado. Whichever name is ultimately picked, the MLS is set to announce a partnership between Arsenal and The Colorado Rapids.
What exactly does this mean? For The Arsenal – not much. For the Rapids and the MLS – a whole heckuva lot.
While details of the agreement haven’t been officially announced, for [...]

While our main blogger Will has been mauled by an elephant or some other sufficient excuse for neglecting Gunnerrific, I’m going to try to put a few posts up. No guarantees they won’t be complete shit, but at least they are words on a page. This being my first post here, it might not be [...]
