Not at all, I am very grateful! When I first started getting into Arsenal, I knew almost nothing about football. I subscribed to AVP and listened to it for weeks, barely understanding most of it, just to immerse myself. It was like learning a new language. Huge thanks to you and the whole crew!

Before I became an @arsenalvpodcast.bsky.social patreon I did everything at 1.5x or 2x, but @arsenalvisionpodcast.com talks too fast and I had to dial it back to 1.25x lol

Runners are nuts. A dealer showed me a very nice vintage one that turned out to be $14k so I very politely thanked him and ran out the door.

We get wildlife in the area - deer, rabbits, turkeys, groundhogs, coyotes, even a bobcat! We picked a fence that allows many of them to move freely & kept a fence-free corridor for the most-transited spot.
Well, Hugo saw the turkeys and SPRINTED FULL SPEED HEADFIRST INTO THE NEW FENCE. (He's ok)

@arsenalvisionpodcast.com said something similar this week and I agree completely. Everyone has opinions (good!) but let's not pretend this is an easy call. Arguments in all directions, and will be all to easy to claim it was obvious in retrospect.
