Across The Divide

Two games into the season and lots to catch up on, but we also find time to cover Ricky's proposal for fixing the start of the season, an interesting choice for a mural outside the Emirates and Ashley's Damascene conversion to the church of Jamie Vardy.

After a three month sabbatical, the new season is among us, and that means the podcast is back too! In our first episode of the new season, we cover pre-season games with our kids, new signings and why Man City are just like Homer Simpson.

The first season of Across The Divide is at an end, but not before we deliver one more bumper episode, in which we wrap up the last day of the Premier League season, dish out some end of season awards and one of us has an impassioned rant about Manchester City's insidious influence on English football

Spurs fans getting pelters from all angles, including the Spurs manager, so who better to give their view on the subject than the Spurs fan who chose Olivier Rodrigo over Rodrigo Bentancur? We give our take on the issue dominating football fan discourse and look ahead to what could still be a historic day for one side of North London

It's crunch time in the title race and both sides of North London are feeling very conflicted. First, we look back on the Bournemouth and Liverpool games before discussing what could happen in the all-important Spurs vs Man City game next week

It finally happened. The first North London Derby with a winner and loser since we started the podcast and we respond in the only way we can... with a bumper edition taking in every possible angle on what could prove to be a pivotal game for both teams

Both teams hit significant bumps in the road, but there's no panicking round here. Instead we focus on fixing what's broken and bouncing back, as Arsenal prepare for a season-defining week while Spurs put their feet up

Lots of games to cover and an analysis of Arsenal's title challenge, but more importantly, we discuss Gary Neville's fashion insecurities and the most ludicrous pronunciation of a major European football club ever

It's been up and down for Spurs since our last episode, but just ups for Arsenal after their late Brentford win and penalty shootout CL victory. We recap all four games and cover lots along the way, including away end nonsense, too many coin tosses and the end of a goalkeeping controversy

Two wins this week, but two very different games and lots to discuss as we cover chasing double figures, Brennan Johnson, loan signings, Des O'Connor and plenty more besides

After a week off, we return to recap three games for Arsenal and one for Spurs. The red side of north London continues to fly high in the Premier League, but a trip to Portugal was less successful, meanwhile Ashley still hasn't got over Emerson Royal's performance against Wolves.

With seven matches to cover, we try and impose some structure to the pod, with varying levels of success. We discuss key topics of the day, including permissible celebrations, the relative merits of 6-0 thrashings and 96th minute winners and being annoyed at how bad your opponents are

We're back from our winter break and ready to reflect on the latest results as Arsenal get back on track in style and Spurs earn a creditable point at Old Trafford. We then look ahead to a huge FA Cup game for Spurs and some midweek PL fun, before going head to head in our first ever pod quiz!

Blurb: Mixed fortunes in the FA Cup mean mixed moods in the pod, but Ricky's looking on the bright side. Meanwhile, the transfer window is open and Spurs are getting their business done early, causing us to reflect on surprise signings of the past.

We're back! And we have a lot to catch up on, with six games since the last pod. We talk all six to a greater or lesser extent, along with wisdom of fans behind and imminent FA Cup magic

It's 2-0 victories all round this week and Arsenal are back on top of the league, but we also discuss whether Declan Rice actually is the best player in the league, football fan media conspiracies and an in-depth analysis of Emerson Royal's journey home from Nottingham

After Spurs ended their winless run, Ashley finally enjoys bragging rights as Ricky rues Arsenal's disappointing defeat at Villa. Meanwhile, Callum Wilson learns that podcasting can be a dangerous game

Out of date before it even hits the metaphorical shelves, we take a moment to look back at Wolves and City plus the midweek drama at Kenilworth Road, while stopping to ponder fluorescent kits, scoring with your shoulder and lots more besides

Ashley does his best to avoid discussing Spurs' current fortunes but is only too happy to question Ricky's description of Kai Havertz's late winner at Brentford. There's also the question of who Ricky will support when Spurs take on Man City on Sunday.

Neither brother wanted to ponder too much about either side's latest result, but for very different reasons. More time was spent discussing the Chelsea vs Man City game and when it's ok to cheer for your rivals.

All good things must come to an end and it was the podcast's unbeaten league run that ended at the weekend. Ashley & Ricky discuss their side's dramatic losses and don't try very hard not to talk about VAR

We're both still undefeated, but the League Cup is now officially cancelled. We also talk permitted hatred, the Selhurst Park concourse and the imminent return of a certain former Spurs manager

Both teams remain unbeaten in the league, but really it's the little things that matter more, like getting annoyed by fan pet peeves or enjoying the pettiness of booing ex-rival players. We look back on a dramatic point for Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, a routine win for Spurs, and discuss the best way to enjoy your team being top of the league.

Ashley & Ricky are joined by their dad and younger brother in a special episode of Across the Divide. What does Ashley & Ricky's dad make of this whole situation and where does younger brother, Darren fit in? All is revealed.

A great weekend for Arsenal and Spurs so there should be little to moan about. However, underdogs, flying pies and club 'anthems' still some spark some lively conversation.
