    Great soccer podcast
    I always really enjoy listening to this Arsenal podcast. I enjoy Harry’s nuanced takes as opposed to the classic “hot takes” you hear on other Arsenal related where when we lose we’re terrible and when we win we’re the best team in the world. Harry really knows his stuff and you can tell how much Arsenal really means to him. Keep up the good stuff mate!
  • Prettymama18
    Love!
    I love this podcast! I listen to it weekly. I like how sensible Harry is, and not just here to start fights, refreshing!

    Best Arsenal analysis
    Harry gives extremely informative updates about what is happening. I live in the U.S. and this podcast is exactly what I need to keep up.
  • Futboler Sean
    Great Arsenal Pod
    Harry's analysis is very balanced and helpful!
  • Boston Gooner
    Great episode on 12/15/24
    Harry, Your analysis of the Everton draw opened up a new perspective for me on Arsenal and Mikel Arteta's focus on control and dominance. I hadn’t thought about it this way before—how Arteta’s own playing career as a central midfielder, often exposed while playing under Wenger who prioritized artistic flair players, might have ingrained in him a deep desire for control. Now, as a manager, that focus seems to drive his approach: he prioritizes players who minimize mistakes and control the game over those who can break it open. Your insight helps me understand why Arteta wouldn’t consider pursuing a talented player like Michael Olise, even though he seemed like someone Arsenal should have targeted this summer. Arteta’s preference for rugged, dominant players over creative mavericks who can change the game off the cuff feels deeply rooted in his own experiences as a player. In a way, it’s almost Shakespearean—Arteta’s managerial philosophy seems like an overreaction to his playing career. While his approach has brought Arsenal a long way, I worry that it might not be enough to secure a title. Without players like van Persie or Sánchez—game-changers capable of turning matches on their own—it feels like Arsenal may struggle to compete with teams boasting stars like Haaland, Salah, or even emerging talents like Cole Palmer. This loss to Everton has been tough to take, and it’s led me to reevaluate Arteta in a different light. Thank you for your thoughtful analysis—it’s given me a lot to think about. Please keep up the great work!
  • Jerzeygooner

    Must Listen
    Balanced and knowledgeable regular information. A key pillar in my Arsenal listens.
  • Dangerdangertilt
    Podcast rotation.
    With so much content available. Harry offers a succinct and pragmatic look into football, with the perfect amount of Gooner bias.

    Balanced and honest.
  • Pyleofdogshyt
    Great daily Arsenal podcast
    Great way to get your daily news updates on the Arsenal. Double this up with The Gooner Talk to get your morning update on TGT, then the evening update on The Chronicles of a Gooner
  • SamiGooner513
    Highly Recommend
    Commentary that captures the essence of the teams, performance tactics, and player dynamics. Harry provides not only in-depth analysis but also balance per perspective of the club. This commentary does not overlook the tactical framework that underpin arsenal is playing style. I highly recommend for those seeking honest, and in depth discussions regarding Arsenal.
  • Will_0007
    Highly Recommend
    Great daily Arsenal podcast. Harry is one of the best covering Arsenal today.
  • KodyShinny
    Great and Consistent
    Harry puts in a palpable effort to push plenty of content and very rarely do I come away from an episode not thinking it was worth listening. His podcast has created a great community and he’s fostered it into a place where different opinions can be voiced while shutting down baseless negativity. Great job, keep up the good work. I listen almost every day.
  • ttang03
    Best Arsenal podcast run by a 1 man team
    Honest, level-headed commentary and insights. Support Harry and COYG!
  • ebsssssssEli
    Love from the wilderness of Oregon
    Harry is the biggest rising star in the world of Gooner talk. I consume every bit of Arsenal content I can find and The Chronicles is by far my favorite. Harry is a level headed family man that seems to always strike the balance in-between truth and towing the company line. Now that he has gone independent, the content has gotten even better. I really hope that he continues the pod long after his Star status is fully recognized and is doing big big things. Thank you so much for your passion and dedication Harry. You are the voice of My Gunners.
  • KC Devil
    Must-follow

  • ChandlerWill
    Best Arsenal Podcast!
    Great post game breakdowns, previews, and more. Enjoy every episode
  • AFC Hedgehog
    Chronicles of a gun is one of the best
    One of the few objective, Arsenal websites that gives you all the information you want to know about the Gooners -every opinion is fact base and has a coherent argument even the episodes that makes your head blow off
  • hassan_merzha
    My go to Arsenal podcast
    Harry is always honest, and straight to the point and has a well-organized podcast.
  • Montel_OB
    A great listen always
    Always gives objective and honest opinions about football talk less of Arsenal. A great listen every time
  • Joey LeOdegaard
    Best Gooner Pod out there!
    Since I’ve been listening to Harry he’s been on top form and delivering great content always! Give a listen and try to catch his live Pod over on YT! COYG!
  • JeffJensen23
    Best Arsenal Podcast on any platform
    I did a ton of research before committing to a specific Arsenal podcast and landed on this one, and I made the right call. As an American Gooner, it’s hard to find good coverage of the EPL outside of NBC or Peacock. Harry provides insight on all comps and does a pretty good job of balancing objectivity and being an actual Arsenal fan.
  • Kafka Gunner
    American Gooner
    Harry gives you all that you need. In depth analysis, intelligent strategic breakdowns and all the intensity and exuberance that this great club deserves. I’m so glad that I found this podcast. Keep it up and please keep reaching out to your American fans. Much appreciated. Go Gunners!!!

  • mark9173648282
    Favorite
    This is my favorite podcast about Arsenal. Sensible takes and way better than AFTCV
  • shessodreamy
    Mad about Arsenal and Wild about Harry!
    I am new to football, living in the United States, to me football was always that ridiculous game that was just about commercials during the Super Bowl. When I discovered REAL football and started following the Arsenal, I began to consume all of the information I could find. This podcast is the absolute best. Harry is so knowledgeable, kind, funny- he is just a delight! Perfect for the long time Gooner and a newbie like me! there are other great Arsenal fan podcast out there, yes, but this one is the best!
  • ZHuhn13
    A terrific discussion and analysis of Arsenal
    As I said in the subject, terrific. Harry combines his fandom of the Arsenal and knowledge of the game to put together an informative, as well as entertaining, discussion/analysis of the Club on and off the pitch. Make sure to follow him here and on YouTube for the live bits!
  • asdrvvjhdzfy
    Superb Arsenal Content
    Harry is a great listen. His views on Arsenal and life are balanced. He approaches his work from a positive angle. His shows are uplifting and full of interesting Arsenal news.
  • J.C. in Kansas
    Great Podcast!!!
    I love Harry’s takes on Arsenal! He’s fair and knowledgeable. Plus Harry shows responsibility even when his predictions turn out wrong. He’s got a fantastic voice and accent that I really enjoy listening to. Great consistent content for all you Gooner fans!
  • BadChad1973
    Harry is a master distiller
    I am based in Texas, USA. It is difficult to understand which news sources and football opinions in the UK are trustworthy. Yet Harry can take all the new and opinions like malted grain. He mashes them, ferments it and distills it till it is perfect for consumption. I love listening to Chronicles of a Gooner every day and tell you it is well worth the listen.
  • SanDiegoGoonsquad
    My go-to for all things Arsenal
    As a huge Arsenal fan based in the US, I love the consistent and insightful updates into the world of Arsenal football club. A must-listen for any gooner.
  • Roy Ribble

  • Chuck Dismal
    Love it!
    Harry does a fantastic job covering The Arsenal implementing news, sound opinion and commentary. He also crushes haters who chime in with weak comments. If you support Arsenal, tune in!!
  • TheBousmans
    The best Arsenal podcast
    This is a great Arsenal podcast!! Harry gives a very raw but genuine perspective on all things Arsenal and helps me stay in touch with all Arsenal news.
  • Andrew Ciancone
    Very level headed
    Harry does a great job being very level headed with his opinions and never overreacting to anything negative or positive that happens with Arsenal. It is so easy to be really negative about everything going on at Arsenal, so it is refreshing to take a step back and really look at all angles of the club. Thanks for sharing your work everyday, Harry, keep it up!
  • Red Tube Bar
    Thank you
    This guy has to be the hardest working podcaster in history. If a Gunner even sneezes wrong, a new episode drops. I’m exaggerating of course but the ink on new info/news won’t dry before Harry is on it presenting to you. A+
  • Eazy seasonnnn
    Great pod
    Amazing work! Really enjoy listening to Harry and his work!
  • Steve Zedd
    Level headed POV
    Harry is the best source of Arsenal aggregated news and opinions that are level headed and based on data and research!

    Super Immature Takes on Gary Neville and ESL Reflect Immaturity of Content
    The person in the pod took Gary nevilles Cisek of arsenal so personally that he showed exactly why fans don’t get listened to traditionally. Becuase their innate tribalism causes them to be compeletely incoherent and irrational in the perspectives. A) calling a player who was a week in and week out starter for the most dominant team in the history of the premier league below average immediately showed this person was just being petty, b) Gary Neville working for sky sports does not compromise him on havingn honest views on the esl as these people exclaimed. He is primarily a person who has dedicated his entire life to the sport. His employer is a moot point in the topic becuase Gary Neville isn’t thinking (oh god I have to save sky sports the company). Regardless if the esl happened or not, professionally and financially- Neville would be fine. He was speaking as a man of the sport. And c) the esl is absolutely NOTHING like the premier league breakaway. That was done with all the necessary approvals in place and kept all the same infrastructures regardigg the competition compared to the esl trying to subvert all aspects of the sport, removing competitiveness, and immediately bankrupting clubs and academies around the continent. I used to like this pod as an arsenal fan, but I was mortified and disgusted by the pretentiously, inaccurate and misguided viewpoints put forward by this individual. So much so, I can’t listen to these guys ever again
  • Steelers2k6
    Great Stuff
    Harry is one of the best content creators in the arsenal realm, always fair and level-headed with keen insight. Really enjoy his podcasts and youtube content, worried about the low views on Youtube so want him to keep at it until he breaks through - keep it up Harry!
  • saadaftab1

  • Jasmn14
    Great features and insight
    Harry does a great job handling all matters Arsenal solo and he often has a informed feature guest to aide his efforts. His insight from being in the industry helps you grasp the nuances of Arsenal. I listen to most Arsenal pods but this is great subscribe to the repertoire. Overall it has objectivity and desire to see Arsenal be beautiful again.
