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.

102: Sandwich rodeo

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 Albert ‘Lord’ Stuivenberg and nameless handsome man so very nearly steer us to victory over the runaway league leaders. Oh, and Stuart Attwell gets a mention or two.

101: From eden to hell

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 Gooner and full-time pod guru Adam Richardson over to host a bumper end of year Arsenal quiz for the ages (yes, there are anagrams). So, pick up a pen and play along. Let’s separate the protagonists from the Primoracs and see out 2021 in style. Thanks so much for listening to the show these last few years. Your support has been immense.

100: 100th episode special

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. Thomas Partey (1993 onwards) was unavailable for comment. And so, with our club captain banished from first team duties with a nasty case of the non-negotiables, Arteta’s Arsenal have arrived in that most coveted of all the league placings: fourth. Just in time for the season of goodwill.

99: Blue balls

Yet another Merseyside mauling is the main matter for discussion this week, as we morosely examine the 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

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 dandelions and chrysanthemumunums. Anyway, we beat Watford 1 nil. We talk about that, the impact of Lacazette, Tomiyasu’s tenacity, and dream January and summer signings. It’s a really nice time.

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 denounced).

94: A Nordic delicacy

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. Sad. Still, fewer games is nice. Oh, and we bought some new lads, so you better believe we’ve assigned them anagrams.

93: 2021/22 season preview

An Arsenal podcast. Three legacy fans from Walthamstow, Wood Green and Plumstead discuss the latest events at the club, with added nostalgia. #AFC #KroenkeOut

Shout out from the Caribbean! Keep up the good work!

Well Done

I really love this podcast. It&#39;s a good mix of analysis, banter, humor, anecdotes and great art from three friends who love the Arsenal. A friend of mine from our local Gooner family in Detroit told me about them and I&#39;ve looked forward to each episode ever since. God willing I&#39;ll meet them in the flesh one day to have a pint and take in a match. Well done lads!  Up the Gunners!!

18: The sorcerer's apprentice

Only three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and meek Arsenal defeats against far superior opposition. We reflect on a week which began with a bang at West Ham, stuttered halfway through in Liege, and ended with a loss to Man City which was more routine than a Duncan Ferguson court date.

A stacked pod this week as consecutive wins in Europe, the league and the Carabao do much to lift our collective spirits. We cover each game, taking time to consider whether this recent good spell represents a false dawn or something more significant.

33: Waiting to exhale

It’s anything but smiles at camp TBB as Watford give us what for in a disastrous draw away at the league’s bottom club. Once we’re done being angry and confused, attention switches to the return of the Europa League, and a trip to one of Eintracht Frankfurt e.V’s 19 different sports clubs (clue: it’s not the eSports one).Twitter and Instagram: @tbbpodEmail: bruisedbananapod@gmail.comRate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Google or wherever you download your pods.

One down, 37 to go. Oh, and we’ve only gone and equalled our record for away clean sheets already! We discuss three points on the Toon, including the stand-out performers on the day. There’s time to reflect on a frantic transfer deadline day before casting minds forward to our first home game of the season against Burnley. Are they the new Stoke? Tune in next time to find out.

Freddie picks up where Unai left off as a dicey 2-2 draw at Norwich marks his first game in charge as interim boss. We reflect on a tumultuous few days at the club, say our final farewells to Emery, and ponder over what lies ahead. We end with Dan’s digital sack and the ex-Gooners most suited for the top job.Twitter and Instagram: @tbbpodEmail: bruisedbananapod@gmail.comPlease take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Google or wherever you get your pods.

With the ignominy of Baku consigned to the past, we come out of hiding to reflect on - and draw a line under - a year of momentous change for The Arsenal.

27: 2018/19 season review

Our end of season implosion continues, with defeat to Leicester marking our third loss in a row. We try to figure out how the team has contrived to take just 3 points from a possible 15 against the likes of Hodgson and Rodgers et al. And yet hope springs eternal of still - somehow - making the top four. Attention then turns to Valencia ahead of the Europa League semi final, before Dan’s digital sack offers reasons to be cheerful amidst all the current doom and gloom. Running order:Part 1: (01m 50s) Leicester away and that losing feelingPart 2: (41m 20s) Valencia, bats, and bad defendersPart 3: (53m 45s) Mailbag and reasons to be cheerful - 1, 2… that’s itTwitter and Instagram: @tbbpodEmail: bruisedbananapod@gmail.comPlease take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Google or wherever you get your pods.
