Tonight - 2-0 up! Still good to watch.

Ian Bleakley @valenceperdu.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Am enjoying a first listen to this. In the event you haven’t already done so, check out the Butler, Blake and Grant albums. Very similar vibe to first 2/3 tracks of this.

Amazing, where do you find the time?!

Well I for one am astonished that Vinicius has extended with Real and isn’t signing for Arsenal. Who could have predicted that?

Ian Bleakley @valenceperdu.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I loved it. Guilt and The Gold both by the same writer and very much worth watching if you haven’t already.

Counting Crows in fine form this evening. Nearly 30 years since I last saw them, Adam Duritz’s voice better than ever.

Just finished Legends on Netflix. Great story, brilliantly told by @neilforsyth.bsky.social

‘Freshlegs’ coming on for Belgium. I’m sure he played for Morocco the other night.

In 1982 my dad had to go out for a walk as he couldn’t bear the tension of Northern Ireland holding on to a 1-0 lead vs Spain. I know how he felt. #arsenal #UCL

My goodness but PSG and Bayern play a different brand of football to the premier league.

Lots of things to dislike about modern football, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, Luis Diaz and Harry Kane all being on the same pitch at the same time is not one of them.

Slightly harsh on Bournemouth who are a good team, and 8th but level on points with Chelsea. Losing to Wolves and Forest much more painful.

The new Joshua Burnside album is something else. The saddest of themes, the most beautiful tunes.

Disappointing from Arsenal. 10 corners and didn’t score from a single one. Somehow still won 2-0 though.

Ian Bleakley @valenceperdu.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Great song isn’t it? The guitar sounds so great on the whole album as well.

As the Arsenal supporting brother of a long suffering spurs fan I’d never really considered myself a rubbernecker before! Just to say I really enjoy the podcast for the passion, humour and energy you all bring to it. It’s a good listen, thank you.

Ah, that’s bad luck. I think if I’m honest my rule mainly applies to starters rather than main courses.

The Fibonacci Premier League question on Only Connect tonight might be one of the greatest things I’ve heard.

A wonderful example of why disinvestment in arts and humanities is too clever by half. These are fundamental to a society's curiosity and imagination!

My favourite player when I was growing up. Only saw him play live once, and he smacked Lancashire to all parts of the ground for a century. Devastating news.

I very much did enjoy, thank you!

I think in the end, Man Utd’s big problem is that they still just aren’t any good.

I’d like to have seen some discussion about whether Liverpool players were within 1 metre if the wall for the free kick a la Eze free kick for Palace? Looked close to me. It’s a stupid law but if it’s a law it would be nice to see it regularly applied.

Ian Bleakley @valenceperdu.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

It’s just a thought, but maybe we could try passing to Gyokeres

Always fun (even as an Arsenal fan) to listen to The View From The Lane, but particular bravo to @dannykellywords.bsky.social in today’s episode railing against the Spurs commercial strategy not resulting in successful transfers.

But I don’t think it was a case of itv not wanting it was it? It was a case of Eurosport/discovery no longer being happy to share rights with a free to air broadcaster and paying big money for exclusivity. Lots (everything) to dislike about the new arrangement but I don’t think it was itvs ‘fault’.
