Ep 48 - When Rams Fly - Leicester 0 Arsenal 2 Reaction, Watford Preview

Blurb for #48 At what point can we conclude that we’re actually a half decent team again? Or that Aaron Ramsdale aka The Brexit Ederson is the perfect Buffon-De Bruyne hybrid? The Arsenal boys overcame what on paper was a tricky test at the King Power Stadium with two early goals in an exemplary first 30 mins proving to be the difference. We cover key talking points such as the explosive start to the game, one of the best all-round GK performances you’ll ever see, one of the best saves you’ll ev...

Ep 47 - Click - Arsenal 3 Aston Villa 1 Reaction - Leicester (and Leeds) Preview

After underwhelming against Palace, Arsenal react with their most complete performance of the season in a totally dominant victory over Villa. Only a consolation wonder goal prevented a 5th clean sheet in 6 games. Has it finally clicked? How much of a difference did Lacazette make? Is Carragher right to call ESR the best dribbler in the league? Check out our ramblings where we also talk about our upcoming games against Leeds and Leicester… plus we couldn’t finish without talking about the Man Ut...

Arseholics Off The Cuff - Arsenal 2 Crystal Palace 2 Reaction (Bonus Episode)

A few technical challenges mean we’re releasing an audio-only off the cuff episode to reflect on a painful 2-2 draw against The Eagles at home. Aside from a bright first 20 minutes and a high octane final period, Arsenal were totally dysfunctional in possession. Palace looked like a team with a plan, Arsenal not so much. Would it have been different if McArthur was sent off in the first half for ABH? Why is Partey not dominating games like this? What’s happened to Tierney going forward? Why is P...

Ep 46 - Got Your Back - Arsenal v Crystal Palace Preview - International Break Chat

It wasn’t the fourth win in a row that we wanted but it’s 10 points from a possible 12 and another clean sheet. The Back 5 have well and truly deserved their wages in this period but how long can we rely on them without scoring more goals? Only Norwich have scored fewer in the Premier League! Will we see more attacking performances like we did in the NLD? Check out our discussion on the last few games and thoughts on the upcoming batch starting with Palace on Monday. We also reflect on the divis...

Ep 45 - A Half For The Ages - Arsenal 3 Tottenham1 - North London Derby Reaction

One of the greatest first half performances the Emirates has ever seen. A complete blitz of a Spurs side who looked void of belief and quality was an event anyone in the stadium will never ever forget. Our new look back 5 had their biggest test and barely broke a sweat whilst the Hale End boys ran riot at the other end. We discuss the day on a whole from the build up around the ground to the celebrations at the end. Where did it go right for us? How bad were Spurs? How pivotal is this moment? We...

Ep 44 - Showtime - Arsenal v Tottenham Preview plus AFC Wimbledon reaction

A Wednesday night Carabao Cup game against League One opponents drew a surprisingly large and vibrant crowd, who in turn were treated to a comfortable 3-0 win. A nice little run out to prep for the big one on Sunday, the famous North London Derby! On the pod, we reflect on the AFC Wimbledon game and discuss all the big talking points for the NLD. Who needs this win more? Are both managers under pressure? Will Arteta smell blood? Is Xhaka coming back into the team? Will Kane keep up his scoring r...

Ep 43 - Imperfect Harmony - Burnley 0 Arsenal 1 Reaction

Mikel put out an attacking 433 at Turf Moor which didn’t quite click but thankfully a banging free kick from Odegaard and a rear-guard performance full of grit, resilience and genuine quality got us our 2nd win on the bounce. Mikel’s happy, the players are happy, the fans are happy… harmony for now at least! Check out our new pod where we review Burnley and preview AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. May we see any of the U23s who have seriously been on fire in PL2 recently? We are go...

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 41 - Let‘s Try This Again - Arsenal v Norwich City preview

Let’s just pretend the season didn’t start against Brentford. Let’s pretend that actually we did something naughty, got docked 9 points, and the season starts this Saturday against Norwich. Key players are back from injuries, we have a new right back, we’re playing a newly promoted team at home, we have to win right? Check out our latest pod where we discuss all things Tomiyasu, Bellerin, Maitland-Niles, Ronaldo, and of course preview the Norwich game. We are good friends and also happen to be N...

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? How can Arteta have four right backs and not really rate any of them? Has Arteta lost the dressing room? What activity...

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 ...

Ep 38 - Oh Dear - Brentford 2 Arsenal 0 Reaction

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 37 - We Go Again - 2021/22 Season Preview

Hard to imagine since our last premier league game against Brighton there’s been a Euros, an Olympics, and we’re now back to the Premier League. Time flies eh? To get you geared up for our opener against Brentford, check out our extended season preview (yes folks, Christmas has come early) where we discuss how our transfer window has gone, preview our opening game and give our overall predictions for the coming season.

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...

Episode 35 - Summer So Far

We are back! After a post-season break (and a technical disaster in our attempt to do a squad review), here’s our first podcast of the summer where we check in on how Arsenal players in International tournaments are faring (big Saka lovefest incoming). We also discuss all of the more concrete transfer rumours doing the rounds and what some of the potential incomings & outgoings could mean for us. We are good mates and also happen to be North Bank season ticket holders at The Emirates. We tal...

Episode 34 - Curtain Call - Arsenal (2) v Brighton (0) Reaction

o that’s a wrap on Season 20/21 of the hit UK sitcom “Arsenal”. Brighton’s impressive defensive record could’ve resulted in a frustrating return to the Emirates for the 10,000 Arsenal fans in attendance, but two excellent goals from man of the moment Pepe sealed a straightforward win. 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. We are...

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...
