Arsenal - Our Lot in Block 5 Podcast

We welcomed back the legend Patrick Vieira on Monday night, and he ended up sinking to his knees in disappointment at not holding onto the three points. It was back to the same old Arsenal - Did we make the right choice in manager? Have we got to turn it around soon? Find out in our Pat and Mik episode (minus the mullets). Support the show

Brighton away means lots of things, but this week Matt conceded to the boys love of Quadrophenia and watched the movie, was delighted, and despite a distinct lack of goals we present a shorter version of our own Rock Opera - mainly because Matt had COVID 19 and was sinking fast. However, we hope you have a great international break with no self isolation required.  Support the show

Now Listen carefully fixture 007 in the premier league season, your goal is to play like you did against the Spuds. Yes, with No Time to Die seeing a return to the big screen of James Bond, Matthew this week finds out how little John and Stuart actually care about the Ian Fleming Franchise. We hear about John's silk kimono, Stuart's brave brother and of course about three fantastic goals...

Yes it's a bad boy special, after a few gritty performances from Arsenal. There was crunching tackles, flares in the crowd and the boys discuss bad boys, from Adebayor to love rat Darren Day. We have a bad boy QuickFire John, A Muskerhouds Stute Machine and a Mr Bad Guy Quiz. Support the show

After losing 5-0 to Man City, we have had to employ a 'negativity claxon' to stop us going down a depressed spiral. However, we also have a lot of fun with a 'long haired hunk' quickfire John, a 'Humans' Stute Machine and a 'Big in Japan' Quiz in honour of our new signing. We also seem to spend an inordinate amount of time discussing the career of 'The...

Maybe the fact that David Seaman doesn't have a moustache anymore may be the downfall of Arsenal... like Samson's hair... come to think of it, it may be since the sacred ponytail was cut off - I blame Dancing on ice. Anyway, Stuart was lucky to meet him on Sunday. One of the worst put together podcasts ever (which causes great hilarity generally so don't worry). All this following o...

Yes, he's jacked up on magic roid juice, he's looking forward to Uncle Albert Santos managing Spurs and Spunky Nigel has started his own social media channel...  Yes it doesn't get more disappointing than this weekend but the boys celebrate our mis-steps of the past, the shoulda-woulda-coulda of our transfer policies but most importantly - we celebrate one partnership that has been...

We are back to report that we didn't win the Euros, that we haven't got Xhaka, Willian or Kolasinac out of the club and now the season starts in three days! Yay! If you are looking for a sporting fix after the Olympics then this is probably not the place to get it as we discuss Paella, Depeche Mode and Connie Francis. Welcome back! Support the show

Get up, get out, get up, get out of your lazy bed for the England fan podcast whose references to swearing on live TV in the 80s is unrivalled. After the historic win by our nation, we celebrate with a trip to Wimpy, we go 'To the Manor Born' in the Stute Machine and we look at the countries on our side of the draw in our penalty shoot out quiz. Come on England! Support the show

Recorded on the night when two two two's happened (is there an owl in here?) - we have a Danish menu for John to choose from, some riddles for Bill's Palace and a very Spanish Stute Machine. Our Group Toppers penalty shoot out is up for grabs and oh... yes we talk about who England are going to get in the next round - one hour before we actually found out it was Germany.  Support the sho...

Hey-nonny-nonny weary traveller! You stand before a veritable feast of football from the boys in block 5 and we welcome you to the first choices of the Viscount (not a biscuit) Bill has he chooses his favourite Palace visitors. We also talk England, Scotland and Wales and chip shops are this week's delights to decide upon in a very Scottish Quick Menu John. Good luck this week to all the home...

No its not the lyrics from the latest Fat Les song, it's what John had for dinner. We introduce our fantastic preview for the Euros with our Crystal Palace mate Bill, who hasn't been asked back on the show since 2016 - but it's great to have the balance of both North and South London on the show again for our special weekly Euro show.  We choose our England 11 and get very excited i...

This week it's the last show of the season (don't worry we will be back for the Euros!) We have the Block 5 Baftas where we chose the best goal, player, game of the season. We have a playoff Stute machine, a golden boot quiz and all the agony and hope you would expect after a few irish coffees in the Berni Inn Support the show

In honour of Stuart's brother's birthday we play the theme to Minder and recall our mate Bill's leather jacket. We talk FA Cups, how we all love VAR now, and how we managed to beat Chelsea at Stanford Bridge for the first time since Lee got a ticket. We have a TV Quick...Fire John, a Mr Men Stute Machine in honour of 50 years of the Roger Hargreaves creation, and a quiz that will ge...

As we look foward to the Chelsea game on Wednesday night, we assume that WIllian will start playing now there is no pressure or league position to worry about. It's an end of season feel for the show with an extended discussion about where next for the squad and Arteta. John does dinners in Quickfire John, It's a Big Deal Stute Machine and we look at some of the good reasons why Tottenha...

This week we discuss the fantasies of John, the fact that only Matt remembers the kids programme 'Knightmare' and in the 'If they could see me now' Quiz we try to remember where Carlos Vela has gone since he left Arsenal - John's guess of Chippy, Chippy, Already 4-0 up - isn't correct.  We discuss the shambles we got away with against Villarreal and the Newcastle win....

"What paper would Sir like in the morning?"  was the question on John's wedding night. The answer is the title of this one. And it's not just Sunday Sport, we have got a quickfire John sport special, a Question of Sport Stute Machine, and with our keeper situation in the spotlight this week, we have a Finders Keepers Quiz. There's shout outs to our new listeners (and a few...

It is with deep regret that we inform you that, upset with being interrupted and not given sponsorship that John will be setting up a European Super Podcast with other podders from across the Arsenal Family... Only joking! It was a tactical move to spend more time on Quickfire John. We talk semi-finals, Fulham, Malaria, Dulux, and when John made himself a mug of gravy. Support the show

This week we discuss John jumping out of a window and getting caught by Miss Fiddler as he obviously went to school in a 'Carry On' film. We discuss Slavia Prague and Sheffield United. There is a Drink Quickfire John, A Masked Singer Stute Machine and we celebrate Martinelli getting back on the scoresheet with a Gabi Quiz. Listen out for your name if you are a new listener - John has all...

This week we talk about the rift appearing in the Arsenal squad, which seems to be orchestrated by the latest in the line of Emirates elopers.  John reveals his Easter choirboy past, we determine that Judas was Jonny Lee Millar and that Stuart likes Pulp with his roast. Looking forward to the game (tonight) with Slavia Prague and at the weekend with Sheffield United. Support the show

It's ham night tonight! After we complete two weeks of hams (West and Totten) we have a salty show full of meaty delights, from a cooked meat quick fire John to a Ham or West Ham quiz that will sort the Wilshire from the Wiltshire. As we go into the international break we discuss the summer and whether we will hold onto who we want this summer and release who we don't. Gammon! It's...

This week we discuss which is our favourite crumble, how John used to play practical jokes on his manager at the ice rink he worked at, how you can cook black pudding using a lamp and.. oh yes, football and that. A great week for Arsenal and for VAR in general as they failed to see that no foul was committed at all on Lacazette and handed us three points in the London derby. We have a grammy relat...

John broadcasts this episode from Harefield Hosptial (don't worry listeners it was just for some tests) and we delve into why John needs to use his own 4g signal and why Gabby Yorath comes in for some particular attention during this 'alone time'. There is a quiz on 'are you Peter Shilton?' and lots of royal based nonsense. And if you missed Lacazette's scream, we hav...

There is a shocking result in the 'quiet as a record player that's not attached to the speakers' quiz this week (sue me! I am no sound engineer). We have a Leeds based quiz on bands, a Leeds Quickfire John where we find out that Jelly Tots were invented for NASA, and a 3-2-1 Stute Machine we see a culturally inappropriate Dusty Bin dressed as a 'Chinaman'.  Good luck in Ro...

G'day block five cobbers! In honour of Matt Ryan's debut for Arsenal against Aston Villa, we present an Aussie Special. Home and Away, we have played this week and it hasn't been good neighbours, more like cell block H for fans. But we have a quiz on the premier leagues best Aussies and an Erinsborogh Stute Machine. Put another shrimp on the barbie.... oh wait John can't eat it...
