The Arsenal America Podcast: James Olley from the Evening Standard and the Arseblog

Jan 26, 2012 by

I hate weeks like this, especially when you have to relive them over and over through the press and from supporters. BUT upward and onward. Anyway, we have James Olley (@JamesOlley) from the Evening Standard joining the show for the first time. Great discussion on the United game, the team’s effort, Arshavin’s as well and the January word of the month “transfers”. We close the podcast with good friend, Andrew Mangan; otherwise, known as THE Arseblog. We chat about the team’s, the supporters’ and media’s reaction to the result. The emotional reaction to the result if you will. We hope you enjoy. Keep the faith.

The Arsenal America Podcast: John Cross of the Daily Mirror, Tim Payton and Black Scarf AFC

Jan 19, 2012 by

We kick-off today’s show with a roundtable that includes the World Famous John Cross (@JohnCrossMirror) of the Daily Mirror and Tim Payton (@TimPayton) of Arsenal Supporter’s Trust. We discuss the current run of play given our lack of depth, transfer strategy, speculation, and of course talk about that little game on Sunday against United – which FOX will air LIVE here in the States. We end the show with a return appearance by Kelvin from Black Scarf (@BlackScarfAFC). Entertaining as always. We chat about the mindset of the team going into Sunday’s game and end with some great Sp*rs banter. Seriously, there was no better way to end the show.

And please know I will be writing for Arsenal USA every week, giving an American perspective about The Arsenal. Do take a read. And you can follow me on Twitter @ChrisToronyi as well.

Thanks for supporting the show.

Arsenal v. Leeds Pre-Report: You know, Leeds. Leeds! Leeds United! Remember them?

Jan 18, 2011 by

By Goonerdamus, aka Charles Belle.

No, not Manchester United, it’s Leeds United.  Why do they have the same name you ask?  I’m guessing a strong belief  in the proletariat.  You know how the social democrats are in Europe.  Anyway, the duplication of names by English Clubs is always funny.  But hey, we roll with the punches, even with names like the Cottagers, the Lilywhites (grrr scary!) and that most confusing of battle cries -Hallo, Come on you Wednesdays! Anyway, say the words “Leeds United” to any Englishman and prepare yourself for understated comments about famous Club “firms,” laughable administration and grand tradition.  Before too many English Gooners send me hate email and try to correct what I said; it’s just a joke.  But what’s not a joke is Wednesday’s game.
