The Bruised Banana: an Arsenal podcast

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 things up for another episode. Episode 89. Feels somewhat fitting. RIP Rocky.

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 of that. Rejoice! The 2020/21 season is over! And what better way to celebrate that fact than to immediately go back and scrutinise the whole damn thing, month by turgid month. After that, it’s the annual Bruised Banana awards, before a final digital sack of the campaign brings the curtain down for another year. Massive thanks to all our listeners. You’re still the ones.

#087: Floating on a cloud
Good 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. We won’t have to grin and bear it, we’ll just grin, randomly and often, knowing that – for now at least – all is well and good in the north London footballing landscape. Because it is. Have a great week.

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 balls up, song lyrics, and Peter Walton’s voice. It never rains but it pours.

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 feet of messrs Xhaka and Arteta because why not, it makes sense, and it’s our podcast and we can do whatever we bloody well please, alright? New player anagrams and listener correspondence also feature.
