Arsenal - Our Lot In Block 5 Podcast

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. We look forward to a night of destiny against Unai Emery - if only we had Carlos Vela for a Chippy Chippy!Support the show (http://gunners.com)

"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 legacy ones!) and we discuss the Everton game, and how along with the Super League plans, we want to dump VAR in the sea for good. #KroenkeOutSupport the show (http://gunners.com)

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 (http://gunners.com)

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 the shout outs! Support the show (http://gunners.com)

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 (http://gunners.com)

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 fun.Support the show (http://gunners.com)

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 related quiz at which John states 'he hates music' and then goes on to talk about music for ages.Support the show (http://gunners.com)

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 have an Ice Cream quiz for you to get your teeth into.Support the show (http://gunners.com)

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 Rome playing a side from Portugal this week boys!Support the show (http://gunners.com)

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. Put another plant based burger on then!Support the show (http://gunners.com)

We discuss the end of dry Janaury, and the discussion turns from Man United to food and drink - what other podcast tells you which famous footballer's favourite food is a liver cheese sandwich? Support the show (http://gunners.com)

John is distracted somewhat by his new vegan diet (don't worry he still has some bacon-wrapped sausages for the weekend) . After the two games against Southampton we look back at a loss and a good win. Quickfire John is a two things going together theme, Stute-Machine is Strictly 'It takes two' and I somehow create a quiz about brothers. We preview the Man United match by laughing at them losing - let's home we don't regret that.Support the show (http://gunners.com)

Matt stuns the boys with his perfect Jimmy Nail (if Jimmy Nail sounded like Max Boyce). We've beaten Newcastle twice in less than two weeks so it was fitting to have a discussion with John about whether he liked Newcastle Brown Ale or why they have a 24 hour Greggs. Stuart's bets go from ridiculous to hopefully the sublime and we discuss the upcoming FA Cup fixture with Southampton (although we were recording it during the fourth round game to decide that).Support the show (http://gunners.com)

We celebrate Emile Smith Rowe's emergence into the first team this week with a  double barrelled special. In Quickfire John we discover John's 34 year old Garfield ruler and the Stute Machine is. a 'Name' that Tune one.  It's been a great week for the club and we discuss three wins for the first time this season!Support the show (http://gunners.com)

Yes it's the last pod of 2020 and we can all look forward to a happier 2021 - especially when you beat Chelsea on Boxing Day. We discuss the games, have a new years resolution quickfire John and a Hootenany Stute Machine. We wish all our listeners and peaceful, purposeful and prosperous new year.Support the show (http://gunners.com)

In a week of one point, we discuss a few more. When life gives you lemons (or Arsenal performances) make lemonade. So that's what we did. More brilliant fun with John reading out his socials and a proper ding-dong merrily on high in the jukebox challenge. Happy Christmas to all our listeners - all around the world!Support the show (http://gunners.com)

It really was one of the funniest episodes ever. While Arsenal provide no entertainment, John gives public health advice on rice (please do not take his advice), talks the meaning of the word avacado, talks about Frank Spencer writing Phantom of the Opera and most disturbingly, the number of crimes committed on him as a child, the most scary of which was being attacked with a knife by an ice-cream man! We love football us.Support the show (http://gunners.com)

With Dickie Shepherd standing on one leg throughout the entire episode (cricket reference) we introduce a nineties special - where Arsenal were actually good - although John wasn't happy! There's a blind date Stute-machine, Matt get's to do his Craig from Big Brother impression and we look back at the terrible football team we actually are at this moment. Things can only get better - as D'Ream said!Support the show (http://gunners.com)

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Stuart's good friend Andy Betts. All of us at Block 5 were very sad to hear the news of his passing in such tragic circumstances and our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time. Rest in Peace Andy.Support the show (http://gunners.com)

Our Yorkshire pudding is discussed and there were plenty of buns on show - John has to choose in a quickfire Man-bun special. We have a 'The Crown' Stute Machine and a jukebox challenge based on Leeds and Arsenal crossoversSupport the show (http://gunners.com)
