The Bruised Banana: an Arsenal podcast

102: Sandwich rodeo

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 various ignominious exits from cup competitions and it's all so grim Alex didn't even show up.

101: From eden to hell

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.

100: 100th episode special

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.

99: Blue balls

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. How’s that for Christmas spirit?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.

98: Doom and gloom shed

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 premiere, while Dan’s ever-bulging sack rounds out another episode.
