January? More like Banuary if you ask us. It's been such a poor month for Arsenal FC that the entire thing should be struck from the calendar forever more. Just start with February from now on. We talk about the games that happened and the vari
Well, at least we didn’t get tonked. The almost ludicrously eventful New Year’s Day game against Man City is our sole topic of conversation this week. We applaud the performance, dissect the decision making, and consider what could’ve been as A
We made it. Unlike Prince Philip and the England cricket team, we’ve actually gone and reached a century. 100 episodes of highs, lows, anthems, crests, sacks, superleagues and sighing. What a ride. To celebrate this milestone, we invited fellow
The Process. We’ve all trusted it. Wholly, and from minute one. Taken it right into our hearts, minds, bodies, and even souls (if they exist). Thomas Aquinas (1225 to 1274) understood the soul to be the first actuality of the living body. Thoma
Yet another Merseyside mauling is the main matter for discussion this week, as we morosely examine the 4-0 loss to Liverpool. Elsewhere, Tom talks us through the giddy glitz and glamour (Boro Primorac, anyone?) of the Arsène Wenger film premier
Ten games unbeaten and everything in the AFC garden is rosy, even when those bastard hornets fly round and try to sting everything in sight and then get their own crusty, old rose man to try and deadhead all our wonderful daffodils and dandelio
Lads, it’s Tottenham. It’s the history of the Tottenham. Ad infinitum. From bottom of the league to above the August champions in just three games. Maybe that Amazon documentary will be worth watching after all.Twitter and Instagram: @tbbpodEma

We mull over what we liked (and disliked) about the 1 nil win at Burnley, including Aaron Ramsdale’s commanding presence (liked), Takehiro Tomiyasu’s terrific teeth (really liked), and big Sean Dyche’s big round head (strongly disliked and deno
It’s the no goals, no points, no hope extravaganza! Three games into the new season and rooted to the bottom of the table, we try to make sense of what’s gone so spectacularly wrong before promptly giving up and laying the blame squarely at the
It’s the return of the Premier League. The top flight. The promised land. And Arsenal are back. Back once again with the renegade Xhaka, 3-4 damager, with the ill behaviour. Oh goody. Elsewhere, no Europe means no previews, or crest-sessments.
Looks like we made it. Look how far we've come, my Pépé. We mighta took the long way. We knew we'd get 8th someday. They said, "I bet they'll never make it", but just look at us Holding on. We're still together, still playing on. Right, enough
We discuss the impact that the sudden rise and fall of the Super League has had on us as fans, mulling over what lies next for both the club and ourselves as supporters. Then it’s onwards to matters far more frivolous, with a good old-fashioned
We wanted to spend an hour talking about Maty Ryan’s pre-assist. Unfortunately, we were duty bound to talk about everything else that came before it as well. We discuss the disappointing 1-1 draw with Fulham, our minds still firmly set on the w
An insipid home defeat to Liverpool dominates the discourse this week, coming as it does after international break musings and a reflection on 20 years without David Rocastle. The Europa preview takes a backseat and the customary mailbag wraps
You’d think after a manic 3-3 draw away to West Ham that we’d have nothing but laser-sharp focus for the incident-packed, riveting game itself. You’d be quite wrong. This week’s tangents include captains from the 1910s and obscure Hampshire mar
#087: Floating on a cloudGood old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name. While we sing this song, we'll win the game, and in doing so we’ll banish all negative memories of ‘them’ against us. We’ll sleep soundly and peacefully. We’ll walk tall.
Exasperation FC does it again. We ‘assess’ the inexplicable 1-1 draw with Burnley without trying to completely lose our minds. We last about 30 seconds. After the madness at Turf Moor, we head to the mailbag for more questions on the Burnley ba
A 1-0 loss to Manchester City leaves us staring at 11 defeats for the season, and our 8th in a row against the runaway league leaders. We discuss the team selection, slow start, and whether the scoreline looks better on paper than in reality. W
A 4-2 win over Leeds gets the pulses racing and the nerves jangling. We discuss the ups and downs of the game, and herald the return of our hat-trick-scoring talisman. Then it’s onwards to Benfica as we deep dive into the history of the Portugu
It’s just that sweet Midlands misery, that makes me cry, cry, cry, cry. Successive defeats away at Wolves and Aston Villa leave us wishing we were lucky. Alas, VAR is all around us, and so the ill-feeling grows. We discuss the joy vacuum that i
A stalemate at home to Man Utd keeps us ticking along in the league. We discuss the nervy 0-0, honing in on the much-improved-yet-still-lacking Nicolas Pépé. There’s also time to hail our excellent midweek win at St Mary’s and welcome loan sign
We’re out of the cup but no matter because we’ve signed Sir Mathew of Ryan from the mighty Brighton & Hove Albion in the loan of the century except it really does matter because we love that bloody competition and it’s ours and now we no longer
Three wins from three, eight goals scored, one against. Wow. We discuss the recent unexpected upturn in fortunes and once again pay tribute to our diamond lights, Kieran and Bukayo. Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but those lads are so de
“Ohhh Granit Xhaka! You might’ve scored a worldy but you’re still a c…” But you’re not, Bukayo. Nor you, Emile. And definitely not you, Gabriel. You represent hope, and joy, and all things fresh, sparkly and great. Recent pain and misery is pus
