Amy, I wanted to say how much I throughly enjoyed today’s podcast. What a wonderful way to articulate and compartmentalise things. Bravo to you all on this one! I love the dynamic of Handbrake with old and young opinions. My favourite Arsenal podcast 👏🏻🌸🌷

Great discussion! You could do round 2 with supporters from different parts of the world

Very upsetting to realise I most identify with (and am in) the second most experienced category you’ve interviewed! 😂

amylawrence.bsky.social•91 days ago

Don't be daft. We saw the good stuff ;)

sebinho9.bsky.social•91 days ago

So true! Just listening now and my generation is the gap between you and Art. So I was too young in ‘89 but remember from ‘91 onwards.

Absolutely loved this pod guys. I mean I love your stuff anyway but in these polarised times it’s just so nice to hear this inter generational look at what it means to be a Gooner. Thanks

Great idea for a pod! Still blows my mind that there are a growing percentage of gooners who've never seen us win the league. Still way behind Sp*rs 98.5% though!

absolutely loved the pod today ❤️🤍❤️

Such a great listen. It’s so fascinating to hear such different perspectives and I completely agree about going to matches - it’s as much about the friendships and the whole experience as it is about the game itself

This was great. Really enjoyed the format.

stooz.bsky.social•91 days ago

So as I’m nearly 60 am I classed as veteran ? Lol

amylawrence.bsky.social•91 days ago

I’d say no (I’d have to say that…)

stooz.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yay good answer!!!

Enjoyed looking at my replica '71 shirt while I listened to this.

Lovely podcast. It's really this strange connection of time, place, and culture that I feel connected to a club halfway around the world. From a city I only lived in for 2 years. It's stories about Maria Petri and Southeast London. This keeps me connected where many other ties have been severed

Really enjoyed the podcast. It was a fun way to look at the Arsenal fan experience

Really enjoyed this one, Amy. I was born in 1974 so very much in the Fever Pitch era until everything changed in ‘89. As such, torn between Adams and Wright for my favourite player. The Henry & Bergkamp question feels like a metronome in my head at times!

Great episode thank you Amy (and everyone) - really enjoyed the directing perspectives and also answering the questions in my head.
