Time for something a bit different this week.
First up we review the Manchester City game away at Everton after we had Chris come on the show last time out.
Then, as I was away this week and couldn't record, we have something a few of you have been asking for.
My back story.
Yup, time for my origin story and the highs & lows along the way.
Arsenal FC – Club Overview
Arsenal Football Club is a professional football club based in North London, England. Founded in 1886 as Dial Square by munitions workers in Woolwich, the club later became known as Royal Arsenal, then Woolwich Arsenal, before settling on its current name. Arsenal moved to Highbury in 1913 and became a major force in English football under manager Herbert Chapman in the 1930s, introducing tactical innovations and winning multiple league titles.
Arsenal has won 13 league titles, including an unbeaten league campaign in the 2003-04 season—known as "The Invincibles"—a rare achievement in top-flight football. The club has also won a record 14 FA Cups, demonstrating consistent success in domestic competitions. Under long-serving manager Arsène Wenger, who led the team from 1996 to 2018, Arsenal became known for their attractive, attacking football and developed a strong emphasis on youth and financial prudence.
The club moved from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium in 2006, a modern 60,000-capacity venue. Arsenal maintains fierce rivalries, particularly with Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby and with Manchester United stemming from their intense battles in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Iconic players in the club’s history include Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Patrick Vieira, and Ian Wright. Arsenal remains one of England’s most successful and widely supported clubs, consistently competing in the Premier League and European competitions.
