A new, vibrant, fun and informative podcast that covers all things Arsenal.
News, views, strong opinion
match previews and analysis in the company of weekly guests.
It’s not just a podcast, it’s an ARSENAL thing.
IAAT is loosely formatted podcast that tries its best to represent the views of the lifelong fan but also welcomes and gives a voice to the newcomers.
It’s presenter Tom has supported the gunners for many years at its former home Highbury and now at the Emirates.
He’s witnessed the success of George Graham’s title win at Anfield in ‘89’ (he was there ) and probably the best Arsenal sides under Arsene Wenger including ‘The Invincible’s’ (03/94)
He was a spectator to one of the biggest rivalries in sport during the mid 90’s early 00’s as Ferguson’s gritty and ballsy United clashed with Arsene Wenger’s artistic and influential Arsenal.
He is also a regular contributor to ArseDevils.com and has been for a number of years under the pseudonym of ‘The Highbury flyer’
This all adds to the flavour, content and background of this brand new podcast.
Podcast number one has the presenter joined by silent Dave discussing topics such as the NLD. The clubs underperforming players and also why Arsenal keep buying “duff Chelsea players”
It’s a jam packed, 30 minute jamboree.....It’s an Arsenal thing.
