With my current scheduling I have room for three arsenal podcasts. There are a plethora of other decent football ones but the general quality of the arsenal ones are, to say the least, patchy.

Now, I love Arsecast and I think that's very much here to stay and despite how much of a **** jonathan creek is Yellow Boots is genuinely funny. That basically leaves me with footballisitically arsenal, which is basically excrement, as the one for the chopping block.

I've tried Le Grove, which is poo, but I dont think I've tried many of the newer ones recently. Am I missing anything or should I stick with what I have and endure the burblings of Boyd Hilton and his showbiz mates?

Football Weekly. All other podcasts are toilet.

My starting point would be that they are, generally speaking, verbal blogs by attention seekers that can't be arsed writing **** down and/or don't want to be restricted to 140 or so characters :-)

Is that over simplifying it and am therefore missing something worth listening to?

Other than that I listen to the Tuesday Club, Football Weekly, Arsecast, Football Ramble, Car Talk and In Our Time. I can heartily recommend all of them.

I tried the arse2mouse one and wasn't impressed. A very annoying, whining septic on there ranting on about AW failing to sign a DM untl someone pointed out to him that we'd signed Flamini.

Positively Arsenal is a bit nervous and not very slick but if you like your Blackburn and pwopah Irish accents it's certainly upbeat. Not one I'd recommend to East Upper.

I think you'd be surprised at the quality of some.

also, good commute fodder, imo.

You know the one, looked like that chap that definitely murdered the dutch girl because he wore a polo neck and had a comb over.

He should do a new one; Kermode, hold the Mayo

Listened to Arseblog twice, found myself doubting myself as I was of the impression he was Irish yet sounded nothing of the sort.

That was my lasting impression of the entire recording.

cars. Obviously it is (was) an institution in the US of A, and there is something quite meditative in seeping in its old fashioned charm. I'm really not even that interested in cars, tbh..

So, of these new arsenal podcasts I'm missing nothing then?
