Wenger’s charisma, Henry’s brilliance, Adams’ and Viera’s toughness, and Bergkamp’s skill drew in and enraptured most of us. It still does. And it’s the culture and class of this great football club that keeps us dialled in, possibly for the rest of our lives.

After the Game: Reasons Why You Need To Back Off For Saka's Sake!
- Remember what I said in the last podcast about Westham? Call me Nostradamus
- Some Arsenal fans blame Saka for the draw against Westham. For the life of me, I don’t know why.
- Let’s see what’s cooking on social media about Arteta and Madrid
If you listened to the last podcast - link in the description below - you’d remember I said the boys should strut into that game like it was already won. My friends on the Gunners Amigos WhatsApp group were going on, counting how many goals we needed to score. We were two nil up by this time.
And I called for caution, just because. And then it happened.
Call me Nostradamus but I had that uneasy feeling in my belly. I can understand Liverpool but I cannot understand Westham. We’ll need to learn to protect our leads. It’s a necessary component of champions.
Before the Game: What's the Deal With Folarin Balogun? Arsenal vs Westham & Szczesny Can't Breathe
What's the deal with Balogun? What should you expect from our game against Westham and Szczesny can't breathe? Like, for real, he couldn't breathe during a game.
Welcome to Arsenal. Stories by Mr Spruce.
Yes, thank you. I've been on a partially self-imposed hiatus. It used to be just a Mister... can't speak now. It used to just be the Mister Spruce blog, and I would just churn out news chasing readership.
Sigh... but now, now this whole thing has changed direction. It's an emotional investment now. A feel-good channel blog, whatever.
After Wenger, there was so much vitriol in the blogosphere and I had to step back...
Yeah...
Blogosphere... Is that even still a word?
Anyways, so welcome to Arsenal Stories by Mister Spruce. It's going to be about celebrating our club players and fans. And no, you wouldn't get stats here at least not like that.
Maybe barely even.
No, no stats. Can't be constipating myself on stats. Leave that to the experts Canon on stats and maybe a different knock. And if you haven't checked both their, channels and substack, you should.
Now, moving on to the meat of OK, that came out so wrong... moving out to the crux of this podcast.
