Stateside Gooners gives American Arsenal fans a way into the club that respects their distance and intelligence. We came from the wrong side of the pond so we built the show WE needed: analysis you can follow, history you can argue with; the culture, finance, & tactics behind it all. The whole history, not just the trophy years. That includes the 55-year Black lineage that runs through Arsenal like no other English club, the supporters who made the club go first, and the women’s side as a matter of course, not just a segment. We keep it funny, bc a 7:30 alarm for North London should be joyful.
