Good luck Alan. Hope recovery is as swift as can be.

PS that whole album is great.

Handbrake Off: A show about Arsenal: It's not done Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 2-1 loss away to Manchester City on Sunday. The panel reflect on the positive performance despite the loss, feeling encouraged ...

Handbroken? Not quite. In the possibly immortal words of Declan Rice "It's not done". New pod, with @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social

Fair play to the residents of the Arsenal penthouse in the block of flats directly opposite the Etihad.

Great minds...

Will be listening to Soul Mining en route north.

Interesting stuff here from @migueldelaney.bsky.social

I hope you used a transcribing app or something. I fear I did rant on a bit!

I also like the mad interpretations of transcribing apps - improvements no doubt ;)

Reasonable

Hoping no visits needed...

Handbrake Off is here.

There was a lot to say. Emotions talking. Also hearing from Jack the 96 year old fan in Canada, telling tales of Highbury in the 1930s, is a must listen. X

Blessed memories of Alex Manninger.

A stellar stand in for David Seaman who helped Arsenal win the 1998 double and a lovely person too. 💔

Thanks for reminding me of that. It was quite sad to read through again but as you say, a useful reminder of the realities of long and severe injuries.

The xJ (expected jokes) was down slightly despite the presence of an actual stand up comic on the show. Still managed a few though.

So we handbraked. Here's the latest pod with @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social

Have a listen if you are not in the business of throwing in any towels. X

Easily done...

Having to reprogramme ourselves from believing things at face value is a constant challenge. I sometimes ask my kids if something is AI as they have more of an eye for it.

All for opinions and discourse but not when it's manipulated.

You have added so much value to football following. Wishing you well in whatever comes next.

Why let the facts get in the way of a good story?

Arsenal have their issues which are fair game for discussion. But a widely shared graphic which is factually bonkers is not a sensible basis for criticism.

Bizarre to omit 93% of wins. Check facts before believing everything you see!

Impressive Handbrake Off pod debut by young Athletic gun @nnamdionye.bsky.social. Big up Nnamdi 🔥

Happy 35th birthday to Blue Lines by Massive Attack, released on this day in 1991. Here's a playlist featuring the brilliant LP along with tracks that were sampled and covered in its making

Arsenal were at risk of losing their way. In Lisbon they rediscovered their identity After successive defeats Mikel Arteta demanded a response of conviction from his team. In defeating Sporting they provided it.

Since they touched down in Lisbon Mikel Arteta wanted his players to rekindle their sense of identity. With a 1-0 to the Arsenal based on resolve and unity they did so.

‘A big moment’ for the season according to Arteta.

1-0 to the Arsenal is just what Doctor Mikel ordered.

Tricky getting in? Away end seems too sparse so close to kick off given all allocation sold.

Intrigued by the Sporting CP pre-game playbook. Definite pop fado vibes.

Erm. Lisbon in April! Seaside! Sun!

Or not.

Bom Dia Lisbon

It’s time for Arsenal’s players and fans to strap in for the mother of all run-ins It was a mixed international break for Mikel Arteta's squad, but now they must reassemble and focus on a huge two months

The last remaining international stragglers are back. I mean, some of the took their time ;)

Now it’s time for Arsenal to strap in for the mother of all run-ins.
