Ep 42 - New Kids On The Block - Arsenal 1 Norwich 0 Reaction

First game post transfer window closing and Arteta wasted no time in giving us a sense of his target future state. A new look back 5 was just one feature of a range of interesting choices made throughout the game which resulted in a desperately needed win. 30 shots on goal indicated the 1-0 win was thoroughly deserved even though the only goal was from all of 0.3 yards. Check out our latest pod where we reflect on a fun day at the Emirates and we look to our next game away at Burnley. We are goo...

Ep 40 - Make It Make Sense - Man City 5 Arsenal 0 Reaction (plus transfer chat)

An absolute mauling by Man City with a range of ill disciplined and lacklustre performances by a questionable line-up left Arsenal fans around the world with a lot of questions, some new and some old. Check out our latest pod where we ponder a few of them such as; Why aren’t the players delivering for the manager? Why are we persisting with players who have been trying to leave?

Ep 39 - Overpowered - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2 Reaction

A highly anticipated return to a non-Covid restricted Emirates resulted in a comfortable Arsenal defeat by a Chelsea side who were better in every department. Injuries, illness and work permits removed the core of the Arsenal team but how much of an excuse was it? How badly did Lukaku bully our CBs? Was an assist and a goal from James at RB damning on Tierney? How important is West Brom on Wed and City on Sun to Arsenal? How important are those games to Arteta’s job security? We discuss all the ...

Can we start again? What a car crash. Arsenal capitulate to a 2-0 defeat to newly promoted Brentford on opening day, what a disaster. Where do Arsenal go from here? Big names absent at the 11th hour. Defensive frailty after spending £50m on a new CB. What positives are there? We discuss all the key talking points whilst one of the Arseholics joins the podcast drunk from the Caribbean. We are good friends and also happen to be North Bank season ticket holders at The Emirates. We talk about Arsena...

Episode 36 - A Bad Dream - Euro 2020 Final Reaction

Our Starboy was dealt the cruellest of blows in the Euro 2020 Final and the country rallied around to show him the support and love he deserves. Sadly, Society’s cockroaches were predictably quick with their abhorrent and often racial abuse. We discuss Southgate’s decision to give Saka the 5th penalty plus the aforementioned aftermath. Speaking of cockroaches, we also discuss the disgraceful scenes at Wembley caused by a copious number of over-entitled, loutish ones. We are good mates and also h...

We discuss a range of topics on the podcast including our first & last matchday experience of the season, Pepe’s performance and our initial reflections on a disappointing 8th place finish in the league.

Episode 33 - The Late Show - Crystal Palace (1) v Arsenal (3) Reaction - Brighton Preview

(Published again due to technical issues - apologies)Sentimental officials seemed laser focused on letting Palace keep 11 men on the field to help Roy get a result on his leaving do. However, two quality injury time goals from our boys made it four league wins out of four. How was our overall performance? How good has Pepe been recently? Will we finish above Spurs on the final day? What if it means playing in the new European Conference? We cover all the key points plus preview the final weekend...
